2006 OA Service Grant Recipients
For the past several years, the National Order of the Arrow Committee has
provided matching service grants for a limited number of projects submitted by
application to the national OA office. A total of $35,000 was made available
for distribution for projects in 2006. The evaluators considered the innovative
scope and design of the project, how the project impacts a significant number
of Scouts, and how the project enhances Cub Scouting or Boy Scouting in the
council.
