The small city of Waveland, Mississippi, was one of the places hardest hit with torrential rains, Category Five force winds, and an estimated 37’ high storm surge. The community could only be described as completely devastated. Thousands of Americans responded to the plight of Hurricane Katrina victims and so did Scouting and the Order of the Arrow. The Southern Region spearheaded the BSA and OA support efforts, coordinating gear drives, adopt a unit programs, and clean-up projects for affected council camps. Several lodges

The Tulpe Lodge Waveland Fund and www.waveland.tulpelodge.org were established on November 1, 2005. The Tulpe Lodge Executive Committee raised enough funds to send a work crew of ten to Waveland in less than four weeks. The crew from Tulpe Lodge spent fi ve days during the Thanksgiving holiday helping in any way they could. The “Turtles in Action” team (Tulpe means Turtle) worked with many members of the community, Troop 77 of Waveland, Crew 77 of Waveland, and Saint Clare’s Church and School. The team helped people in the community clear their property of debris and helped the school re-open using large tents as classrooms. Tulpe Lodge plans to continue its support of the disaster victims and has already made plans for support and projects to be carried out in 2006.
