OA -Chattahoochee District BSA

The Order of the Arrow is the honor society of the Boy Scouts of America. We honor those campers who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Scout Law in their daily lives. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order in 1915 in Treasure Island Scout Camp in Pennsylvania, and it has spread across the nation since.

The National organization of the Order of the Arrow is divided into several regional Sections. Each section hosts a number of council OA lodges. The lodge is the core organizational unit of the Order. Egwa Tawa Dee is the name of the Atlanta Area Council's lodge. All Lodge, Section, and National events are listed on the site, as well as registration information.

Egwa Tawa Dee is further divided into fifteen chapters. All the OA members in the Chattahoochee District are in the Lowanne Nimat chapter. We are the largest chapter in the Egwa Tawa Dee Lodge, and one of the most active. Several of our members have served as Section Chief, Section officer, Lodge Chief, and Lodge Vice Chief. Our members have received honors for ceremonies, Indian dance, and administration in the Order.

Our Chapter meets on the second Thursday of the month at the same time as the Roundtable. We usually meet in the Scout Hut behind Roswell Baptist Church. We hope to see you there.

Lowanne Nimat is charged with promoting camping and holding OA elections for the Chattahoochee District. If your troop wishes to have a team perform a camp promotions visit or hold an election, contact our chapter advisor, Craig Barnwell. We cannot accept any election unless performed by our elections teams and we can only hold one election per night, so please contact us early. We can accommodate every troop, but need your cooperation.
