Centennial Challenge
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Order of the Arrow, we're planning to host the biggest, fun-filled, most exciting National Order of the Arrow Conference in history. We want as many Arrowmen as possible to have the chance to hang out with 10,000 of their closest friends, which is why the Order is launching the Centennial Challenge!
Legacy Project 2015
The 100th Anniversary Committee is very excited about the roll-out of Legacy Project 2015 introduced at NOAC 2012. Lodges will submit a lodge rock, paint a legacy lid, prepare a written history, and gather kiln dried wood for the centennial fire.
Special Edition Sash
At the December 2012 annual planning meeting the national committee voted to give Arrowmen attending the 2015 National Order of the Arrow Conference a once in a lifetime souvenir. All Arrowmen at the conference will receive a special edition red sash to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Order.
2015 National Order of the Arrow Conference
The National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) is the premier event of the Order of the Arrow, and is Scouting's second-largest national event. In 2015, over 10,000 Arrowmen from across our nation are expected to gather at Michigan State University.
Centurion Award
The Centurion Award aims to highlight “Hometown Heroes,” or those Arrowmen who have meaningfully contributed to the forming, maturing and ongoing operational excellence of their local council’s lodge, and who, in doing so, have or will have inspired others to follow in their footsteps.
Centennial Cache
The centennial cache is a list of resources to help promote the 100th anniversary of the Order for regions, sections, lodges, and chapters.
Centennial Vigil Card Order Form
Vigil Honor members have a unique opportunity to purchase a Commemorative Centennial Vigil Card beginning July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015, while supplies last.
