The OA “Order of the Arrow” is Scouting America's national honor society for experienced campers, and those who live by the scout oath and law. Many of the OA’s traditions are based on American Indian traditions. The OA is dedicated to cheerful service.
Etowah is one of three chapters apart of Catawba Lodge 459, We are composed of the south-eastern areas of charlotte in towns like Matthews and Mint Hill. Our Chapter name is from the Muskogee (Mus·ko·gee /ˌməˈskōɡē/) language and describes a term for town, people, or tribe. In Etowah we like to embrace the meaning of our name by creating a community that all Arrowmen apart of our district can join.
When and where?
