After the Order of the Arrow’s founding in 1915, it spread rapidly across the United States.  For early Lodges, this can be tracked by their location and lodge number.  In the late 1930s, the Order of the Arrow finally reached California.  The first three Lodges, Canalino 90, Navajo 98, and Tahquitz 127, were founded in … Read more
