[edit] OA
Can someone explain to me how this associaiton is not in competiton with the OA? Does OA also exist in these councils? Can someone be in both organizations? Rlevse 14:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
There is not nor has there ever been an OA Lodge in Long Beach Area Council. Scouts in Long Beach may join OA lodges in other councils if they wish and at the sametime have membership in the Tribe of Tahquitz. There are several scouts that take advantage of this. There are also several scouts from outside the Long Beach Area Council that belong to the Tribe of Tahquitz, most notably scouts from Lake Elsinore including the current Chief Tyler Eisenhower.

- The Tribe was founded in 1925 and there has never been a need for two honor societies. The Tribe more then fulfills this need. Headsinger 18:03, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

- Exactly. OA was founded in 1915 and became BSA's honor society in 1948; so why does this tribe and Mic-O-say not merge with the OA? Yet, people can belong to both? Interesting.Rlevse 18:22, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

- Long Beach feels it is best served with the Tribe of Tahquitz as the tribe provides a vollunteer summer camp staff every year for Camp Tahquitz as well as staffing for camporees and other events. The selection process for summer camp is quite competitive, involving mulitiple interviews. The tribe will never merge with OA for many traditional reasons. I myself am a third generation member and former officer of the tribe. feel free to browse the Tribe's website for further information. Headsinger 06:15, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Whether your summer camp staff comes from Tahquitz, OA, or elsewhere doesn't matter. Limiting yourself just to Tahquitz limits your pool of people.Rlevse 17:11, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attention tag
Beef the text up some, add some more info on history and the present-day, perhaps 1-2 more refs, and this'd be a clear B-class article. Rlevse 16:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
