With the merging of our three Scout Councils into a single new entity called the Golden Gate Area Council, so too will the three Order of the Arrow Lodges associated with those council’s merge to form a new single Order of the Arrow Lodge. Plans for the lodge merger have already been set in motion and the goal is to have the new lodge take effect sometime in early 2021. In order to meet that deadline, the lodge chief along with two youth lodge representatives from each of the Lodges will be meeting over the next several months to discuss the merge. In addition to the youth, representatives from the Section as well as National will also be involved with helping to advise and support the merge.
Keep checking this page for progress updates. In the meantime, continue to refer to your current lodges for events and activities.

The Founders Award was introduced at the 1981 National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC), it recognizes Arrowmen who have given outstanding service to their lodge. The award is reserved for an Arrowman who demonstrates that he or she personifies the spirit of selfless service, as advocated by founders E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson. The Lodge may petition the national Order of the Arrow committee to present up to two awards annually. If more than one award is presented , one must be awarded to a youth (under the age of 21).
