The
California Inland Empire Council
(CIEC) of the
Boy Scouts of America
was formed in 1973 through the merger of the Arrowhead Area (#048) and Riverside Area Councils (#045). In 1974 Grayback Council (#024) also merged into the new council.
In 2006, the council acquired the San Bernardino County portions of Old Baldy Council (#043). The council territory includes all of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
The cup has Council Camps HD (Camp Helendade) and CE (Camp Emerson) printed on it.
Camp Emerson, in
Idyllwild-Pine Cove, California
. Council operated since 1919, largely on land donated to the former Riverside County Council by developer and humanitarian Lee Emerson.
Camp Helendade, near
Running Springs, California
. Council operated since 1960. It was partially burned in the
California October 2007 fires
.
Camp Helendade was given to Arrowhead Area Council in 1960 by Helen and Dade Davis, replacing Camp Arataba, located in the
Barton Flats
area. Camp Arataba, part of the history of Arrowhead Area Council since the 1920s, was the victim of a lodge fire in 1960. The loss inspired the Davises to donate the land for a camp to the Boy Scouts. Camp Helendade was originally called Camp Running Springs, but Edward Saxton, the Scout Executive of Arrowhead Area Council at the time, wanted to name the new camp in a manner that honored the donors. Hence the name Helendade was selected (Helen + Dade).
