About the Philmont OA Adviser Training Conference:
The Philmont Order of the Arrow Adviser Conference is for any currently registered
adult Arrowmen of the OA, including professional Scouters. While at the conference,
participants can enjoy the many benefits of Philmont Scout Ranch and the Philmont
Training Center.
The conference is tailored to address the specific needs of the participants,
to share information from successful lodges across the nation, and to discuss possible
solutions to some of the common challenges faced by many chapters and lodges. Our
goals are to challenge, educate and inspire the participants and staff!
Some of the topics that may be covered at the conference include how to improve
membership retention, the effective techniques of lodge and chapter communications,
helpful insight regarding the Quality Lodge Recognition program, proven techniques
to improve Brotherhood conversion, and other subject matter as requested by the
participants. Participant input will have a large impact on what is discussed during
the week, as we will strive to exceed the expectations of everyone in attendance!
The conference is led by members of the national Order of the Arrow committee
and professional staff from the national Order of the Arrow office. Staff members
have previously served as lodge advisers and bring a wealth of knowledge to the
training while at the conference. Special guests will train throughout the conference
including former and current national officers, members of the national committee
and inspirational speakers.
While at the Philmont Training Center, participants and their families will have
several opportunities to experience the many extracurricular activities that are
available at both the Philmont Scout Ranch and surrounding areas. To learn more
about the family programs, visit the Philmont Training Center website here.
Every evening and all day Wednesday, participants and their families will be
able to enjoy many activities, some of which may include hiking, fishing, horseback
riding, pottery-making demonstrations, museum visits, a Buffalo Barbeque on the
Greensward, a Western Night of dance and games, and shopping in Cimarron and nearby
towns.
