Введение
Почётное общество бойскаутов «Племя Тахкиц» – одно из немногих местных почётных обществ бойскаутов в Соединённых Штатах, которое не было поглощено Орденом Стрелы. Организация была создана в 1925 году и состояла из 15 почётных скаутов, выбранных для создания и поддержания постоянного штата добровольцев летнего лагеря в лагере Тахкиц. История Племени/Сообщества тесно переплетена с историей двух лагерей, в которых оно располагалось, делая их неразделимыми. Чтобы поддерживать активность в зимние месяцы, организация разработала обширную программу по изучению культуры коренных американцев, пешим походам и общественной деятельности. Эти программы приносят пользу Совету района Лонг-Бич и окружающему сообществу, предоставляя членам уникальный опыт молодёжного лидерства. Программа по изучению культуры коренных американцев была прекращена в сезоне 2020 года. «Племя Тахкиц» также было переименовано в «Племя Тахкиц» в попытке изменить направление развития, предпринятой руководством сообщества. На смену программе по изучению культуры коренных американцев пришла программа альпинистов, ориентированная на промысел пушным зверем в начале XIX века. Хотя эта программа развивается медленно, она пользуется общей поддержкой. Организация особенно известна церемониями, основанными на культуре коренных американцев, которые её члены проводят в течение года на скаутских и общественных мероприятиях. За почти 100-летнюю историю организации сформировалось сильное чувство преданности и множество традиций. «Племя Тахкиц» существует только в Совете района Лонг-Бич, но имеет множество членов, не входящих в состав Совета, из Калифорнии, Нью-Йорка и других штатов.
The Tribe of Tahquitz is one of a few local Boy Scout honor societies in the United States that have not been absorbed by the Order of the Arrow. The organization was created in 1925 and consisted of 15 honor Scouts who were chosen to start and maintain a perpetual volunteer summer camp staff at Camp Tahquitz. The history of the Tribe/Community is intertwined with that of the two camps that they have inhabited making one inseparable from the other. To keep active during the winter months, the organization has developed an extensive Indian Lore, backpacking and service program. These programs benefit the Long Beach Area Council and surrounding community and give the members unique youth leadership experience. This Indian Lore program was retired during the 2020 season. The "Tribe of Tahquitz" was also renamed to the "Tribe of Tahquitz" in an attempt to change direction by community leadership. In place of the Indian Lore program has been installed a mountaineer program focusing on early 19th century fur trapping, though this program has been slow to get off the ground it does have general support. The organization is particularly known for the Indian lore ceremonies that its members perform throughout the year at Scouting and civic group meetings. A great sense of dedication and many traditions has been developed throughout the near 100 year history of the organization. Tribe of Tahquitz exists only in the Long Beach Area Council, but has many "out of council" members, from California to New York, and beyond.

Приглашение к членству
Ближе к концу недели летнего лагеря, в котором участвует отряд, сотрудники молодежного лагеря вместе с командирами скаутов, присутствующими в лагере, собираются у скалы Трайб Рок. Там они обсуждают всех скаутов, находящихся в лагере, которые по праву считаются "Почётными скаутами". Затем, после демократического голосования всех присутствующих молодых участников (в основном, нынешних сотрудников молодежного лагеря этого года), скаутам, признанным достойными, предлагается вступить в организацию. Сообщество объявляет о принятии новых членов и приглашает их на торжественное награждение в пятницу вечером. Чтобы стать полноправными членами, они должны пройти ежегодную церемонию посвящения, которая проводится в лагере Тахкиц в выходные дни, приуроченные ко Дню труда. Все полноправные члены имеют право занимать должности и голосовать по вопросам Сообщества. На ежегодном собрании, проводимом после достижения 21-летия, молодые члены становятся "Почётными" членами. Они оказывают ценную помощь Сообществу в качестве советников, но лишаются права голоса и возможности занимать должности. Совет района Лонг-Бич долгое время не имел отделения Ордена Стрелы, используя только общество почета за заслуги в походах – Племя Тахкиц. Племя Тахкиц продолжает свою деятельность и не было расформировано, но 19 мая 2012 года Совет района Лонг-Бич учредил отделение Ордена Стрелы. В некоторых советах существуют как отделения Ордена Стрелы, так и местные общества почета за заслуги в походах.
