Kittan Chapter Home Page
The Kittan Chapter was established in 2001. Kittan means "Great River" in the language of the Lenni-Lenape. The Order of the Arrow has played an important role in the Chicago Area Councils' Scouting program for almost 80 years. The Kittan Chapter, it's purpose, program, and especially our membership, is a natural extension of Scouting itself. It stems from a mutual desire of its members to serve a program they greatly admire, respect, and believe in. The unique attraction of the Order is its combination of inspiration, fellowship, and fun that attracts and holds, in dedicated service and devotion, River Trails District finest youth and adults members. |
