Order of the Arrow Cahuilla Lodge #127 California Inland Empire Council #45 Boy Scouts of America 3 The Chief Speaks Dear members of the California Inland Empire Council Executive Board, This past year has been very successful for the Cahuilla lodge. We started the year off as usual with a very successful lodge banquet. We had a great vigil weekend and added twelve new vigil members to our lodge. We had our usual three ordeals at Camp Emerson and one at Camp Helendade, as well as two summer camp ordeals. The ordeals brought in an incredible amount of hours of service alone. We had a very successful Fall Fellowship, as well as conclave weekends. We received 64 new brotherhood members as well as 216 new ordeal members. We hosted a service project at Joshua Tree National Park as well as the service given to our council camps and at the Stampede.
