The Order of the Arrow was founded during the summer of 1915 at Treasure island, the Philadelphia Council Scout camp. Treasure Island was part of the original land grant given to William Penn by King Charles II of England. The camp was located on a 50-acre wooded island in the Delaware River between New Jersey and Pennsylvania, 30 miles upriver from Trenton and 3 miles from Point Pleasant, Pa. Historical records show that it was an early camping ground of the Lenni Lenape or Delaware Indians. http://japeechen.tripod.com/oahistory.htm gives you the history
