The National Order of the Arrow Endowment was created in the late 1970s to preserve and perpetuate the history and traditions of the OA. Today, the interest earned from this endowment provides crucial funding to such programs as the OA Trail Crew, the OA Wilderness Voyage, the OA Ocean Adventure, and popular attractions at the Boy Scout National Jamborees, such as Scoutopia, and Twelve Cubed, which is planned for the 2005 National Scout Jamboree.
