Order of the Arrow
SCOUTING'S NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
SCOUTING'S NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
Over the years, more than 60 members of Troop 270 have been elected to the Order of the Arrow (OA), Scouting's national honor society. Order of the Arrow groups are called Lodges. Sub-groups, that represent the Council districts, are called Chapters. Troop 270 OA members belong to the Blackwater Chapter.
OA members are elected by the boys in the Troop.
Early members of the Troop belonged to the Immokalee Lodge from the old Chehaw Council, before its merger with the Alapaha Area Council to form the South Georgia Council.
Current members belong to the Withlacoochee Lodge of the South Georgia Council.
Former Assistant Scoutmaster Chet Lapeza served as Lodge Chief for the Immokalee Lodge in the mid-1980s. His son Eli Lapeza served as Lodge Chief for the Withlacoochee Lodge 2020-2021.
Jason Adams served as Lodge Chief for the Immokalee Lodge on two occasions during the early 2000s.
