O-Shot-Caw Lodge #265 is the Order of the Arrow Lodge of the South Florida Council. It is one of eight lodges of Section S-4, which covers the state of Florida (except the Panhandle). O-Shot-Caw Lodge was the best lodge all around in 1973, 1985-1986, 1993, 1999-2007, and 2010-2011.

History

On June 20, 1944 the National Lodge of the Order of the Arrow chartered the lodge for the South Florida Council as Ala-paw-tah 265. Ala-paw-tah 265 was discontinued on September 8, 1949.

In April 1955 the director of Camp Snapper Creek, Tom Gato visited Section Conference and reported back to the Scout Executive of the South Florida Council. The Scout Executive approved of a new Order of the Arrow lodge. On June 28, 1955 the National Lodge of the Order of the Arrow chartered the lodge as O-Shot-Caw 265. The National Office chartered O-Shot-Caw Lodge 265 on June 28, 1955. On August 5, 1955 22 candidates gathered at Camp Snapper Creek for their ordeal. Only a year later O-Shot-Caw had grown to more than 125 members.[12]
