In honor of the 50th anniversary of the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America declaring that the Order of the Arrow (OA) is officially a program of the BSA, the National OA Committee in 1998 produced the E.

• A unique and beautifully bound History of the Order of the Arrow book by Kenneth P. Davis, Ph.D.
• A framed signature picture of Dr. Goodman including a mounted special cast medallion
• A new printing of The Building of a Life book authored by Dr. Goodman
• A 16 page Goodman Biography by Nelson Block
• A video tape of Dr. Goodman; a cassette voice tape of Dr. Goodman's remarks and comments on the Order
• A personalized numbered Certificate of Authenticity
• A special imprinted carrying and storage case for all portfolio items suitable for bookcase display.

This portfolio was produced as a keepsake for Arrowmen interested in our Orders rich history, and also to serve as a valuable resource to add to lodge and personal libraries.
