For more than 90 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. As Scouting’s National Honor Society, our purpose is to:
-
Recognize those who best exemplify
the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and through that recognition
cause others to conduct themselves in a way that warrants similar
recognition.
-
Promote camping, responsible
outdoor adventure, and environmental stewardship as essential components
of every Scout’s experience, in the unit, year-round, and in summer
camp.
-
Develop leaders with the
willingness, character, spirit and ability to advance the activities of
their units, our Brotherhood, Scouting, and ultimately our nation.
-
Crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.
