Section C-3B American Indian Seminar

Regalia - the first impression the Order of the Arrow leaves upon its newly inducted brothers. So often it is neglected how influential the indigenous cultures are within our Order. They shape, define, and grant us an identity as a brotherhood of service and caretakers of the outdoors. The traditions of our ceremonies are the first impactful experiences a candidate has in the OA. The question then becomes: Why do we not capitalize more so on this unique opportunity to engage newly inducted Arrowmen?

NE-5 Leadership Conference

Each and every Arrowman at some point in their Scouting career wishes to leave a legacy within our Order, wishes to make their voice known, and wishes to make a positive, lasting impact for generations to come. Each has a great idea waiting to be implemented into our organization, however, many go unheard. This past January, Section NE-5 leadership recognized this invaluable opportunity to obtain perspective, and coordinated a leadership conference to foster a positive environment for their lodges to exchange best practices.

Tuku'Ut Lodge Rivers and Mountains Conservancy Grant
