Honor camping societies
[edit]The Long Beach Area Council did not have an Order of the Arrow lodge for many years, but used only its camping honor society, the Tahquitz Community.[4] The Tahquitz Community continues today, but on January 15, 2012[5] the Long Beach Area Council formed an Order of the Arrow lodge. The new Order of the Arrow Lodge held its first Ordeal the weekend of May 18-20 where the new lodge name, Puvunga Lodge 32, and totem, the porpoise, were chosen.[6] The Lodge was named Puvunga because it was an ancient village and burial site thought to have once been populated by the Tongva people, who are the indigenous inhabitants of the region around Los Angeles, California.[7]
