Your induction is a once-in-a-lifetime event that you won't want to miss out on, and it is unlike anything you've experienced in scouting so far.
The following video is a special message from leaders of the Order of the Arrow at the national level directed at newly elected candidates. Once you've watched the video, be sure to read the sections below and learn all about the exciting opportunities ahead.
For over 100 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. This recognition provides encouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long term resident camping, and providing cheerful service to others. OA service, activities, adventures, and training for youth and adults are models of quality leadership development and programming that enrich and help to extend Scouting to America's youth.
