KITTAN CHAPTER
"GREAT RIVER"

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.

Firm bound in bro - ther-hood,
Ga - ther the clan
That cheer - ful serv-ice brings
To fel - low man.

Cir - cle our coun-cil fire,
Weld tight-ly ev-'ry link
That binds us in bro-ther-hood,
Wi - mach - ten - dienk

By Dr. E. Urner Goodman

I do hereby promise on my honor as a Scout, that I will always and faithfully observe and preserve the traditions of the Order of the Arrow, Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui.

I will always regard the ties of brotherhood in the Order of the Arrow as lasting, and will seek to preserve a cheerful spirit even in the midst of irksome tasks and weighty responsibilities, and will endeavor, so far as in my power lies, to be unselfish in service and devotion to the welfare of others.
