What is the Order of the Arrow?
If you’ve completed your Ordeal and are now a brother in the OA and Nentico Lodge, welcome! Lodge leadership encourages you to get involved in any of these ways:
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.
If you’ve been elected to be a candidate for membership in the OA, congratulations! Upon completion of an Ordeal Inductions Weekend, you will be a member of the Order of the Arrow and Nentico Lodge.
