History

The OA was founded in 1915 at a Scout summer camp on Treasure Island, on the Delaware River near Philadelphia. The two men principally responsible for its creation were camp director Dr. E. Urner Goodman, and his assistant Carroll A. Edson. Many Scout camps at this time had created honor societies for Scouts who had attended them; Goodman and Edson based their society on these organizations. They also took a cue from Ernest Thompson Seton, who used Native American culture in his Woodcraft Indians program, and included the traditions and legends of the local Lenni Lenape (Delaware) Indians in the OA's ceremonies. In fact, the order's original name meant Brotherhood of Cheerful Service in the Lenape language.

The OA earned official recognition as a BSA program experiment in 1922, along with several other honor societies. It acquired its present name at the same time. A meeting of the National Lodge at the Owasippe Scout Reservation in 1933 voted to recommend that the BSA adopt it as part of its official program, which the National Council did in 1934. Full integration was completed in 1948.
