For over 100 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. This recognition provides encouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Each BSA council has a corresponding OA lodge. The OA Lodge for the Heart of Virginia Council is the Nawakwa Lodge. Crater District’s OA Chapter is the Karakona Chapter. Chapter meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m., in the Scout hut at Gregory Memorial Presbyterian Church in Prince George.
