'''The Tribe of Tahquitz''' is one of a few local Boy Scout honor societies in the [[United States]] that have not been absorbed by the [[Order of the Arrow]]. The organization was created in 1925 and consisted of 15 honor Scouts who were chosen to start and maintain a perpetual volunteer summer camp staff at [[Camp Tahquitz]]. | |||
To keep active during the winter months, the tribe has developed an extensive Indian Lore, backpacking and service program. These programs benefit the [[Long Beach Area Council]] and surrounding community and give the tribesmen unique youth leadership experience. | |||
The tribe is particularly known for the Indian lore ceremonies that its members perform throughout the year at Scouting and civic group meetings. A great sense of dedication and many traditions has been developed throughout the 80-plus year history of the organization. The tribe exists only in the Long Beach Area Council, but has many "out of council" members, from [[Scouting in California| California]] to [[Scouting in New York| New York]], and beyond. | |||
