DESCRIPTION:
The Order of the Arrow (OA) Conference, also known as the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC), is a significant event within the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). It is one of the largest gatherings dedicated to recognizing and enhancing the OA, the National Honor Society of the BSA.
Held every two to three years, the conference brings together thousands of OA members across the United States. The event's primary purpose is to provide training, foster fellowship, share best practices, and celebrate the accomplishments and values of the OA. The conference is typically hosted at a university campus and lasts about a week.
The NOAC offers extensive training sessions, seminars, and workshops. These cover various aspects of Scouting, leadership development, program improvements, and the traditions and purpose of the OA. Sessions are led by experienced OA members and Scouting professionals, ensuring valuable learning experiences.
One of the highlights of the conference is the showcase of ceremonial performances, including competitions and evaluations of different lodge ceremonies. These ceremonies are an essential part of the OA's traditions and embody the principles of brotherhood, cheerfulness, and service, which guide the OA's activities.
There's also ample opportunity for fun and fellowship. Attendees can participate in recreational activities, sports, and shows promoting camaraderie among the OA members, reinforcing the bonds that tie them together in their commitment to service and the Scouting movement.
An essential part of NOAC is recognizing and celebrating achievements. Awards are given to lodges and individuals for their outstanding contributions and accomplishments in various aspects of the OA program. The recognition reinforces the commitment to excellence within the OA community.
The conference provides an opportunity to hear from key leaders within the BSA and the OA. They often address the attendees, sharing insights, inspiration, and strategic direction. The communication helps align the efforts of OA members across the country and fosters a sense of unity and purpose.
Community service is also emphasized, with projects and initiatives aimed at positively impacting the local community where the conference is held, thus reflecting the OA's and BSA's broader commitment to service and community engagement.
The National Order of the Arrow Conference is a vital and multifaceted event that brings together OA members nationwide. It's a mix of training, recognition, fellowship, and fun, all aimed at strengthening the OA's mission of recognizing Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law daily. The conference plays an essential role in maintaining the vibrancy and relevance of the OA within the broader Scouting movement.
