ORDER OF THE ARROW:
The Order of the Arrow is the BSA honor society. Once you have reached the rank of 1st class and has obtained 15 nights of camping with the troop, one being a long-term camp (summer camp or winter camp) within the past 24 months they are eligible to be elected for OA. Once elected, you will need to attend ordeal and pass the ordeal, then you will be in the OA. We want to encourage all our scouts to be active in OA. The district OA has quarterly meetings, and if a scout attends the OA meeting in lieu of a troop meeting that week still counts as being active in scouts. Sometimes OA events will fall on the same dates as the same time as troop activities, it is okay for the scouts to attend the OA event and it will still count as them being active in the troop. If the Scouts campout under the stars at an OA event they will be counted as nights camping as well as it is a Boy Scout event.
