The Order of the Arrow is Scouting America’s National Honor Society. For over a century, the OA has recognized those Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. By electing Scouts to the Order, your unit recognizes their high level of camping tradition, spirit of selfless service, and commitment to leadership. The OA provides these “best of the best” Scouts with advanced leadership training and unique service opportunities that help them grow as citizens and leaders within their own troops and crews.
