Order of the Arrow ~ Does Good Turn at Camp Helendade
The first Ordeal of the year took place last weekend up at Camp Helendade in Running Springs. The Navajo Chapter from the Old Baldy area hosted the event and Tyler E. was the Ordeal Master, Robin R. and Kevin H. were the Task Masters. These three boys were also part of the Navajo Chapter Brotherhood Ceremony Team. There were 48 Candidates in all that went through the Order of the Arrow Ordeal and 10 Candidates that went through the Brotherhood. There was plenty of clean up to do around the Camp, as this was the first event since September. Many tasks were completed from the "To Do" list such as; repairing the fence in front of the camp, along the street, cleaning out the pool and surrounding areas, dumping trash and scrap wood from the pool area, filling in ruts with dirt that had been caused by rain, filling in the water culvert areas, tearing apart the old red roof in and disposing of it, fixing the plumbing above the kitchen roof (thanks Randy), as well as general clean up of the whole camp. The Candidates and their family members (150 people) enjoyed dinner together on Saturday night to complete a great experience.
If you have been "Called Out" to the Order of the Arrow and need to go to an Ordeal to become an Official Member of the OA, here are additional dates of the next up-coming Ordeals: June 3rd & 4th, July 7th & 8th, July 21st & 22nd and August 19th & 20th up at Camp Emerson in Idyllwild & September 16th & 17th up at Camp Helendade in Running Springs For more information about the Order of the Arrow and the Cahuilla Lodge #127, please log onto: www.snakepower.org. You can download a flyer there to sign up for one of the upcoming Ordeals.

Cedar Badge Patrol Leader Training a Big Success!
I wanted to report on our latest edition of the new and improved Cedar Badge Patrol Leader Training. We had 57 youths participate in the overnighter at the LDS church in Riverside and we served up lots of Scouting spirit through songs, yells and activities. We also had eight adults participate, experiencing the patrol method up close and personal, and learning more about youth leader training. They will be working with their Scouts on implementing the Patrol Leader Handbook in their home troop, probably with much more confidence!
We also want to thank Gail Nichols for her patience and expertise in keeping track of sign-ups. Overall, we had no hiccups with the council office. Smooth sailing all the way!
The LDS church on Blaine Street was very cooperative. They have a beautiful campus right near Box Springs Mountain. Oh, yeah; the staff also had fun!
Thanks again, Bob Quezada, Cedar Badge

BSA Alumni Award "A Knot That Binds"
Some time later this year, you may see a new patch or lapel pin on some uniforms and suit jackets. The red, blue, and gold square knot is the BSA Alumni Award, and it signifies a Scouter who has helped other Scouting alumni reconnect.
Developed by the national Alumni Relations Committee, the award goes to alums who have demonstrated accomplishments in four areas: alumni identification and promotion, alumni engagement, personal participation, and personal education.

Camp Emerson Summer Camp
Every Boy Scout needs to experience summer camp. We hope that your Scouts will have the opportunity for a week of fun and adventure with their friends hiking trails and earning merit badges. The California Inland Empire Council has three great programs for individual Boy Scouts or patrols this summer.
Brownsea Scout - This is a great program for those Scouts who couldn't attend camp with their troop or want another week of fun. Scouts can choose to attend any Camp Emerson summer camp session and will either be placed with a host troop, or organized into a provisional troop with other Brownsea Scouts.
Tahquitz Scout - This program is the same as the Brownsea Scout, but by attending a second week at Camp Emerson, he gets to go for the low price of $150 and will earn a special Camp Emerson patch!
Target on Transition - Held at Camp Helendade from June 20-25th, this program is designed for the new Boy Scout. The Scouts will become part of a patrol and work on many of the requirements needed for his Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class ranks. In addition, he'll have the opportunity to shoot rifles, canoe and swim. The program is only $225!
Please let your Scouts know of these great opportunities for summer fun. In addition, we have extended the deadline for campership applications through June 15!
Camp Emerson is one of the best camp values in Southern California with new enhanced and exciting programs like mountain biking and geocaching. Plus great food and lots of it!
