NOAC 1971

For the second time, the Order of the Arrow met at the University of Illinois, Champaign Urbana. Another NOAC attendance record was set, this time with 5,112 delegates. The size was so large; it was actually unwieldy as any picture of registration or memory of a delegate can attest. Future meetings would be smaller… for a while.

The 1971 NOAC attendance record would stand until the 75th Anniversary NOAC in 1990 and the 401 lodges present will stand as the record for all time (because with mergers, there will never be enough councils with lodges to break this mark). Chief Scout Executive Alden Barber was the featured speaker. Barber had entered the Order as one of ten charter members of Tamet Lodge in 1942 at Camp Josepho in the Santa Monica Mountains of California.

Training retained a vital role at the conference. For the first time, Operation REACH, the BSA drug abuse awareness plan was included. There was a brotherhood flame that was kept burning throughout the Conference extinguished at the closing ceremony when the OA Distinguished Service Award (DSA) was presented and Goodman delivered his challenge to all Arrowmen.

1972 National Planning Meeting

Unlike previous years, the National Planning Meeting made an exception and did not travel to the campus that would be hosting the upcoming Conference. That is because the NOAC was scheduled for the University of California, Santa Barbara. All of the previous Conferences (starting in 1948) had been held at centrally located Midwestern universities.

The furthest west the OA had traveled was Laramie Wyoming. It was much easier and less expensive to hold the meeting in the east. The meeting was held at Schiff Scout Reservation, Mendham, New Jersey.

Cliff Harmon, Pellissippi Lodge, Tennessee was elected National Chief and Greg Guy, Tonkawa Lodge, Austin, Texas was elected National Vice Chief. Deputy National Conference Chiefs selected were Eddie Stumler, Steve McMurtry, Stan Galloway, Dan Segersin, Ken Beale and Jay Degarmo.

Area System Reorganized

On January 1,1973 the OA announced the greatest change to the Area/Section system of lodge organization in 25 years.

This time the change was not from expansion. Instead it was triggered by the contraction of the region system from 12 numbered regions to six named regions. Also, with the rising number of council/lodge mergers reorganization, it made sense to consolidate.

This time each region was first broken down into areas with subdivisions called sections.

For example North Central Region was divided into three areas. They were Area NC-1, Area NC-2 and Area NC-3.

These Areas were further subdivided into sections, so in Area NC-1 there was a Section NC-1A and an NC-1B.

This system remained in place until December of 1992 when the six BSA regions were consolidated to four regions.

At that time the lodges were reassigned in a similar fashion to the 1973 reorganization.

1973 National Jamboree

The 1973 National Scout Jamboree was split between two locations: Farragut State Park, Idaho (August 1 to 7) and Moraine State Park, Pennsylvania (August 3 to 9) with the theme “Growing Together”. A total of 73,610 Scouts participated in this first and only dual Jamboree that featured “home troops” as opposed to the traditional council contingent jamboree troops.

The intent was to have “one” Jamboree at two locations, so event results and activities were shared and communicated between the two sites. There were no regional winners, but there was one Jamboree winner for each event. Scouts at the Jamboree West saw comedian Bob Hope and Scouts at the Jamboree East saw entertainer Danny Thomas.

“Firsts” that occurred at the two Jamborees were the introduction of a Merit Badge Midway, an Arts and Sciences Expo, and the inclusion of a host of new patrol and individual competitions, including athletic events and an orienteering test.

The OA provided a total of 10 Service Troops (5 at each location) with each troop comprised of 37 Scouts and three Leaders. Service duties at both Jamborees included supporting activities such as traffic control, assistants at the arena and the shows, aides to personnel, office assistants, program aides and a variety of other tasks.

In addition, the 1973 jamboree would, for the first time, use a Youth Advisory Committee formed from OA members. A total of 36 Arrowmen were elected at the 1971 NOAC (three from each of the then twelve Regions) to serve on the committee.

OA Day at Disneyland

On Monday, August 20, 1973 the Order of the Arrow (OA) hosted the first, and only, Order of the Arrow Day at Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California. For most Arrowmen this was their first visit to one of the Magic Kingdoms. This event was held the day before the 1973 NOAC officially started.

The price was $5.50 per person, which included admission, 11 rides, and a meal. Most participants arrived early in the afternoon and stayed in the park until after the 9:30 PM renowned Main Street Electric Light Parade.

The only similar event in OA history was in 1933, when delegates to the Grand Lodge Meeting in Chicago went to the Chicago Century of Progress World’s Fair.

Jim Lovell

Jim Lovell is best known as the Commander of the Apollo 13 mission. He was also an Arrowman. Lovell was an Eagle Scout serving in Milwaukee County Council and in 1946 served as lodge treasurer of Mikano Lodge.

Lovell piloted the Gemini 7 space flight in December of 1965 and Gemini 12 in November of 1966. As Goodman put it,

we shot an Arrowman in the air.

In December 1968 Lovell was Commander of the first flight to orbit the moon. Upon his return he presented a Mikano Lodge flap that had traveled to the moon and back with him. In 1970 Jim Lovell was Commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13 flight. Lovell wrote about the experience in his book, Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13. The mission was popularized in the movie, Apollo 13, with Tom Hanks playing Lovell. Lovell had intended to bring a Mikano Lodge flap to the moon and actually coat it in lunar dust.

In a “Dewey defeats Truman” type article in the National Bulletin an article was placed proclaiming that Lovell had attempted to start a lodge on the Moon and that the flap with lunar dust was on display at the national office. By the time the article was published virtually everyone on the planet knew of the failed lunar mission.

Jim Lovell received the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award in 1990 and served as the President of NESA, the National Eagle Scout Association, in the mid-1990s. He received the Silver Buffalo Award from the National Council in 1992.

1968 National Planning Meeting

The National Planning Meeting returned to Indiana University at the end of 1968 to plan the 1969 NOAC. Thomas E. Fielder of White Feather Lodge, Paducah, Kentucky was elected National Conference Chief. Later that year, his home lodge would make a special flap patch commemorating Chief Fielder, the beginning of a tradition that exists to this day. Philip Chabot, Nentego Lodge, Bel Air, Maryland was elected Conference Vice Chief. Among the Area Chiefs in attendance was future National Committee Chairman Ed Pease who was selected a Deputy Conference Vice Chief (often called a DCVC). The other DCVC’s selected were John Koepke, Ron Rupp, Dick Acker, Bob Wessels, Joe B. Alexander, Howard Phillips and Brett Kirkpatrick.

1969 National Jamboree

The 1969 National Jamboree was held at Farragut State Park, Idaho, from July 16 to 22 with the theme “Building to Serve”. Astronaut and Eagle Scout Neil A. Armstrong sent the 34,251 Scouts greetings from outer space during his historic voyage to the moon.

Lady Baden-Powell made an appearance at the closing arena show and the popular singing group “Up With People” gave a special performance. This was the location of the 1967 World Jamboree and it marked a number of “firsts” such as the introduction of the “wide game” that had been used at the last two World Jamborees (which required finding Scouts from other parts of the country to complete the phrase “Building to Serve”), and the availability of a complete aquatics program with boating, canoeing, swimming, and fishing.

The Jamboree also had some of the other common elements that had become typical of a Jamboree including open competitions in Scoutcraft skills areas, a skill-o-rama and spectacular arena shows.

A total of 234 Scouts and Explorers formed the OA Service Corps serving in six troops. Duties included supporting activities in the jamboree headquarters, the waterfront, public relations, Jamboree Journal, arena shows, exhibit tents, the ham radio shack operation, and the Chaplain’s service. In addition, an OA Pow Wow was held for all Scouts, Explorers and Scouters belonging to the OA.

NOAC 1969

The OA returned back to Indiana University for a sixth time to hold the 54th Anniversary National Conference (what we now call a NOAC). While the term “Conference” had replaced “Meeting” for a number of years, the 1969 Conference patch was the first to actually say “Conference” on it. The Conference theme chosen by the National Planning Committee was “Pathways to Service”. A record 4,421 Arrowmen attended the Conference. The national meetings were still growing in size.

A specialized group of three training sessions called “Arrowdynamics” was taught to every delegate. National Committee Chairman George Feil announced at the meeting the establishment of the E. Urner Goodman Camping Award.

The closing show featured the presentation of the Distinguished Service Awards (DSA), and, in keeping with tradition, E. Urner Goodman again gave the closing challenge to the delegates.

Onward Arrowman Plan

Mindful of our High Tradition we, as Arrowmen assembled for our Golden Anniversary National Conference, hereby resolve to dedicate ourselves, our lodges, our areas, and national organization to the following quests in cheerful service:

The above was the preamble to the Onward Arrowman Plan announced at the 1965 NOAC. The plan was divided into four quests, the first letter in each quest spelling the word “PLAN”.

Personal Quest – What was expected of each Arrowman.

Lodge Quest – What each Lodge should strive to complete.

Area Quest – Called for Area Conferences, training conferences and more.

National Quest – Spelled out the goals of the National OA Committee.

Today the Onward Arrowman Plan is partially divided into the National Standard Lodge / Quality Lodge program and the national OA Strategic Plan.
