Occoneechee Lodge 104 began as an idea when Mr. Claude Humphreys recognized the potential of the Order of the Arrow at the 1937 National Jamboree. The application for membership was approved on August 30, 1937, and early in 1938 the new lodge members voted to take on the name of the Council; thus Lodge 104 became the Occoneechee Lodge. From that humble beginning almost 70 years ago with 50 active Arrowmen, Occoneechee Lodge has grown into a vibrant, active Lodge with a roster of over 2,200 Scouts and Scouters.
