About the chapter
Who we are, what our name means, and how we fit into the Order of the Arrow.
Our name
The Reliable One
Nagatamen comes from Lenape, the language of the Lenape (Delaware) people and part of the Algonquian language family. It means "Reliable One."
The name reflects what we want to be for each other and for our community: trustworthy, dependable and loyal. Being reliable means taking responsibility, keeping our word and earning the trust of the people we serve.
