Good Ole daze

I am, of the, Order of the Arrow.

This place remains timeless i was a baby there with my parents in the early 60s and still despite man's incursions this harbor retains it beauty and memories. I love you Emerald Bay ❤

Pure Gold video! Emerald Bay will always be my heaven on earth. And the 'Betty-O' still afloat in Marina del Rey +!!!

wow...the number of Scouts is amazing...back then Scouting rocked !!!

To Kurtis: I can't get my previous comments either or reply to your request. A mentioned I thought my plaque was upstairs in the sleeping quarters. Probably back in 1956 or 57.

Member of the Crescent Bay Area Council many, many yeas ago. Family Driends worked at Douglas Aircraft Company. Just recently joined the National Association of Eagle Scouts at age 80.

2 for 1. Racist and pedo all in one ceremony.

Went there as part of Crescent Bay Council, Troop 57 back in the mid 1950's. Entered the Order of the Arrow there. Traveled by water taxi.

I remember my tap out...very well conducted..At my Ordeal, we were given red wooden arrow on a string to wear around our necks...for an infraction, a nick was made on the shaft...hahaha !! No nicks on mine..Blue Heron #349 !!

Went there several years. Long bus ride from Westwood. Slept in tents and ate at the "mess hall". Hiked up to a lake (don't emember it's name) and stayed for a while. Actually had a bear put it's paw under out tend to get my buddies candy bar he had. Troop 57 Palms Culber City, California.

Went to Camp Josepho and Emerald Bay many times as a member of the Crescent Bay Counsil. Troop 57 and Post 218. Became an Order of the Arrow in Emerald Bay and attended many gatherings at Camp Josepho at the Tamet Lodge. My name may still be up on the Lodge wall. Good memories and good friends.

Became a member of the Order there I think in 1956 or 57. Don't rember the cemoriy very much but do remember being out all a lone with the fear of being gored by a wild boar! Some how I survived! Member of the Tamlac Lodge at Camp Josepho. Troop 57 and Post 218

I also have mye name onthe wall of the Lodge as a member of the Order of the Arrow. Attended there many times as a Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Exploer Scout. Good times, good values, good moral and good memories. Still an Eagle!

Order of the Arrow many years ago. Went to Camp Josepho and the Lodge there many times many years ago. Member of Troop 57 in Culver City/Palms and 218 as an Explover Scout. Still an Eagle! Thanks to bringing back memories of simpler and better tims.

Just thinking about how many of these boys made it through WWII. Just the right age.

This film was produced and narrated by James A. Fitzpatrick (1894-1980) a professional film maker who was known for producing and narrating his Travel Talks short films in color, released through MGM from the 1930s through the 1950s, many of which can still be seen on Turner Classic Movies. That's why this film looks so professional. This was apparently done by Fitzpatrick as a special project for the Boy Scouts. I don't know if he was hired to do it or donated his services. This is just the conclusion. The entire 15 minute film is available elsewhere on KZbin. An interesting time capsule. As this film dates from 1944, I wonder how many of these young served in the last stages of Would War ll or in the Korean War a few years later. And how many may have been killed?

My ordeal was in 1989 I enjoyed my time in the Order of the Arrow and enjoyed being kitchkinet.

I enjoyed being in the order of the arrow and playing kitchkanac

The Scouts need more Native American involvement of proper education each Troop needs to be certified by an updated use of policies and procedures by a Native American Group of leaders like many things in life a good plan now yet, we need a better plan. Until then I and other help educate on what we with our Native American Managed 501c3 we/I support it along with native elders who participate in the ceremonies and lectures.

Fuck this mann. Yall mofos tryin to steal my peoples culture and make us look dumb. Fuck who ever started this and fuck whoever is in it.

does anyone have the sheet music for the flute?

Great video! You should upload more of these type of videos!

it's a colt!!

Cool video I watch it all the time

Josepho gets me erect, daily

16:13 thru 16;40 This was probably considered inclusive and open-minded at the time, but would be politically incorrect now. Judge not, lest ye be judged.

9:02 Teaching life-saving and respiration techniques in 1936? California really is where the future happens first!

I went through Ordeal 17 years ago, and I thought what I went through then was rough. I bet it was a cake walk compared to what these young men did. But did you see how proud he was after he was tapped? I guarantee it was worth it to him.

This video and this gross representation of Native American culture is highly offensive and racist. As a Native American and former Boy Scout this video is offensive.

OA today is unfortunately watered down. I was tapped out in 1983. Legal disputes, Woosie mommas and daddys and people who just don't appreciate traditions. BSA today is a mirror of our weakened society. Its all about participation ribbons and trophies for every little kid. Sad to see the BSA in such a state as it is today. RIP BSA. Eagle Scout 1985.

I think the LA location tells us why the quality is so high. Filming around a campfire is still technically difficult. Good bye to shoulder "taps" ,exposed buttocks and face paint.

At 3:00, there is actor Johnny Sheffield (shirtless) who played Boy from the Tarzan films.

This is the way I first remember Camp Josepho. My dad took me to Josepho in 1943 to see it. I remember wearing my Cub Scout uniform (I was 9yrs old). I was a "camper" there in 1946 & 47. Lots of great memories at this camp. Four generations of my family have their Order of the Arrow name plaques attached to the wall of the lodge.

My ordeal was 1993 dam time fly unami lodge camp hart

Wow. Thanks for this posting. This is some wonderful historical footage. This camp is located in Rustic Canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains. It has a wonderful parade grounds, spectacular lodge, and is literally within 1/2 hour of the intersection of the 405 Freeway & Sunset Blvd. It was donated by Anatol Josepho (inventor of the photo booth) and has served the scouts of the West Side of Los Angeles (and since 1972 the Scouts of the San Fernando, Santa Clarita & Antelope Valleys) a Scout camp since the early part of the century. The lodge is enormous, and is equipped with kitchen facilities & historical artwork that is hard to describe. The Order of the Arrow is a service organization within the BSA and requires special election to join. This tradition has lived at Josepho since the early days. Thanks again.

This is my Father. 0:50 Richard L Iseminger Rest in peace Dad. 05/17/1927-10/26/2013 Your loving son, Jim.

For those who do not know: The Order of the Arrow is a service organization within the Boy Scouts of America. Camp Josepho located in the Santa Monica Mountains, and was operated as a camp of the Crescent Bay Area Council (representing scouts from the area from Malibu, through west side of LA down to Culver City, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, WLA, Palms, MDRey, Venice) up until 1972. Anatol Josepho the inventor of the photo booth &donated the Camp Josepho property to BSA. Great history there.
