ORDER OF THE ARROW

The Order of the Arrow was founded in 1915 to serve a useful purpose: to forge lifelong bonds among the leaders in Scouting and recognize those who exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and, through that recognition, cause others to act in the same way. To this day, the Order of the Arrow is dedicated to this high purpose... The Order of the Arrow is led by youth leadership (national chief, national vice chief), the national Order of the Arrow chairman, the OA director and the OA associate director. In addition the national Order of the Arrow committee provides direction for the yearly program... The Order of the Arrow is committed to preparing our youth members to effectively lead in our diverse society and to fostering a community where: People with different identities, backgrounds, and beliefs are present, respected, valued, and celebrated; Empathy is practiced; Grace is offered when people inevitably make mistakes; Everyone feels responsible for helping others..
