COOTIE SCRATCH: Immediately after Membership meeting
Chokum Chingo's - "Little Friends". When the Pup Tent was first organized it was decided we were the smallest and newest Pup Tent within the Grand so let's just face up to it. We will be the Little Ones and friends to all. Today we see ourselves in a far different light. We are, and strive to be, the best friends to all but we also say we are little but the biggest workers of the Grand. Institution of the Pup Tent was the 7th of December 1991. The installing Officer was then Grand Commander Lou Harmon.
