The Cachalot District is a subdivision of the Narragansett Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

History

[edit]

Cachalot Council existed until 1972. It was headquartered in New Bedford, Massachusetts and served that city and the surrounding communities. Smaller councils began to be consolidated, which led to Cachalot Council merging with the Massasoit Council (see Massasoit District) to form the Moby Dick Council. In this new council, the two former councils became districts. Moby Dick Council maintained the Cachalot Council's office in New Bedford. Massasoit's Camp Noquochoke was sold, and Cachalot's Camp Cachalot remained with the new council.

Cachalot Council's Agawam Lodge 509, Order of the Arrow, merged with Massasoit's Noquochoke Lodge 124 and became Neemat Lodge 124.

In 2001, another merger was announced. Moby Dick Council, which by contemporary standards at its inception was of decent size, had become archaic. It was considered in their best interest to dissolve and merge with another council, and they did so, merging with Rhode Island's Narragansett Council. The new council, which kept the Narragansett name, kept the Massasoit and Cachalot district designations, and also continues to operate Camp Cachalot.
