NEXT EVENT: Winter Banquet FEB 7th.
Purpose of the Order of the Arrow
For over 100 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who exemplify the Scout Oath and Law daily. The OA is Scouting’s National Honor Society. As an integral part of Scouting America, the OA delivers peer-led advanced leadership experiences that help to build lifelong bonds through service and enrich each member’s Scouting journey. OA members are defined by the fellowship they share, service to others, commitment to personal growth, and self-driven initiative to make a difference in their community.
As Scouting’s National Honor Society, we forge lifelong bonds among the leaders in Scouting and:
Recognize those who exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and, through that recognition, cause others to act in the same way
Reinforce a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others
Create and deliver peer-led, adult-guided, advanced leadership experiences for Scouts and Scouters that positively impact their unit, community, and ultimately our nation
Be an integral part of Scouting America and encourage participation in all it offers through units, outdoor adventures, and national events to further the Scouting experience.
"To be why Scouts want to stay in Scouting."
"To achieve the mission of Scouting America through transformative fellowship that ignites limitless Scouting journeys."
