Order of the Arrow
The Honor Society of Scouting
For over 100 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who exemplify the Scout Oath and Law daily. The OA is Scouting’s National Honor Society. As an integral part of Scouting America, the OA delivers peer-led advanced leadership experiences that help to build lifelong bonds through service and enrich each member’s Scouting journey. OA members are defined by the fellowship they share, service to others, commitment to personal growth, and self-driven initiative to make a difference in their community.
Members are elected by their peers.
Ahoalan-Nachpikin
The Order of the Arrow Lodge affiliated with the Chickasaw Council is the Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge. The name “Ahoalan-Nachpikin” (pronounced “ah-ho-all-lun notch-pick-in”) translates to “We Who Love the Outdoors.” We are represented by our totem, the bear.
We are chartered by and serve the Chickasaw Council. We help with council and district events, particularly with program facilitation and support. We also serve our council camps, Camp Currier and Kia Kima Scout Reservation.
