The Purpose of the Order of
the Arrow is fourfold:
| 1. |
To recognize those Scout campers who best
exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives
|
| 2. |
To develop and maintain camping traditions
and spirit
|
| 3. |
To promote Scout camping
|
| 4. |
To crystallize the Scout habit of
helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to
others

The Mission of Atta Kulla Kulla Lodge
The mission of the lodge is to achieve the purpose
of the Order of the Arrow as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America
in the council through positive youth leadership under the guidance of
selected capable adults.
The Lodge holds many activities throughout the year.
Whether gathering for service projects, to have a meal with our families, or
to have fun together, you will always find good cheer at Lodge events. The
Order of the Arrow is a youth led organization, and each event is
coordinated by youth under the direction of the Lodge Vice Chief of
Administration.
Each event is well planned, but the most important
part is your attendance because you will miss a fun time if you miss a Lodge
event. Those who complete their Ordeal and then never attend a Lodge event
may actually think the OA is all work and no fun, but they could not be more
wrong.
Atta Kulla Kulla has won the Spirit Award at the
Dixie Fellowship for six years in a row in recent years. This award is for
the lodge that shows the other lodges how to have the best time at Dixie
Fellowship. As a member of Atta Kulla Kulla Lodge, you have the opportunity
to learn how to have a good time from experts.
