====Order of the Arrow====
*Ah'Tic Lodge #139
In the Spring 1937, the leaders of Bucktail Council wanted to recognize those Scouts and Scouters who were “Honor Campers”, those who best exemplified the ideals of the [[Scout Promise|Scout Oath]] and [[Scout Law|Law]]. The Council did so by organizing a Camp Honor Society. Shortly thereafter, the Council’s Executive Board in January 1938 voted to apply for an [[Order of the Arrow]] Lodge Charter. This effort, led by John H. Keller (Second Council Executive, 1937 - 1942), would form the Lodge’s charter membership from those members of the original Honor Camper Society. On June 1, 1938, a ceremonial team from [[Laurel Highlands Council|Camp Twin Echo]] came to Camp Mountain Run to initiate those first members into the Order of the Arrow. The first official meeting of Ah’Tic Lodge was July 27, 1938, the name “Ah’Tic” taken from the [[Ojibwe|Chippewa]] language meaning “Standing Elk”.<ref name=":0" />{{Clear}}
