Finally in 1944 they got too big and too successful and divided into Northern Orange County Council #37 (NOCC) and Orange Empire Area Council (OEAC). NOCC changed their name in 1965 to North Orange Council #37 (NOC). In autumn of 1972 North Orange Council rejoined with Orange Empire Council (aka Orange Empire Area Council or OEC) to reform Orange County Council (aka OCC or OCBSA) #39, California. A short time later in 1973 Order of the Arrow Ahwahnee Lodge #430 of NOC merged with San Gorgonio Lodge #298 of OEC to form Wiatava Lodge #13 with their Cog Totem.
