Upcoming Events


Purpose of the Order

To recognize those campers (Scouts and Scouters) who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives, and by such recognition cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner as to warrant recognition.

To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit.

To promote Scout camping, which reaches it's greatest effectiveness as a part of the unit's camping program, both year round and in the summer camp, as directed by the camping committee of the council.

To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.

Mission of the Chapter

The mission of the Chapter is to achieve the purpose of the Order of the Arrow as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America in the district through positive youth leadership under guidance of selected capable adults.

Membership

Our chapter has more than 145 members located in the Antelope Valley District with approximately 40 BSA units.

Community Service

Our goal is to provide hospitalized and or less fortunate children (in our community) with a toy during the holiday season. We do not collect toys, we make them ourselves. The toys are then given to area hospitals and charitable organizations to distribute at their discretion. Our chapter has performed this function for the past four years and to date we have reached approximately 3,500 children in the Antelope Valley.
