Within each district of the Golden Gate Area Council there is an associated Chapter from Yerba Buena Lodge. The Chapter is composed of Arrowmen (youth) from various troops & crews within that district. The Chapter is the heart of the Lodge and each Chapter helps plan and carry out various activities and service projects for their district and community, such as camporees, and provide service to their district.
