The Council Fire first episode of 2023!

Find the upcoming episode of The Council Fire—the new OA podcast—on Spotify, releasing later this month. This month, listen to former lodge chiefs Bradley Krpejs of Wahissa Lodge and Coleman Hunsaker of the legacy Elkuta Lodge about getting newer Arrowmen involved in the Order. This conversation will discuss how being hospitable, inclusive, and charismatic with new members can be beneficial in creating long-term friendships that enable Arrowmen to reach their highest potential and develop lasting bonds.

OA Ocean Adventure Program Announcement

The Order of the Arrow will not operate the OA Ocean Adventure program out of the Dry Tortugas National Park for the 2023 summer season.

Without finding an alternative location and increased participation costs, it is in the best interest for the OA Ocean Adventure to pause for this 2023 season. 

Farewell From the 2022 National Officers

When historians look back on this last year, we are positive 2022 will be a turning point in the success and growth of our time-honored Order. While there have been some obstacles along the way, no obstacle was too grand. Over this year, memories and friendships were made that will last a lifetime. 2022 served as a year that restored energy we have not felt in many years. We want to showcase some of the best things from this year and ways to move forward.
