Our Mission and Purpose

The mission of the Order of the Arrow is to fulfill its purpose as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America through positive youth leadership under the guidance of selected capable adults.
​
As Scouting’s National Honor Society, our purpose is to:

• Recognize those who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and through that recognition cause others to conduct themselves in a way that warrants similar recognition.
• Promote camping, responsible outdoor adventure, and environmental stewardship as essential components of every Scout’s experience, in the unit, year-round, and in summer camp.
• Develop leaders with the willingness, character, spirit and ability to advance the activities of their units, our Brotherhood, Scouting, and ultimately our nation.
• Crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.

Our Annual Spring Pow Wow is Fast Approaching! At this event we prepare for the upcoming section SR 9 Conclave 2020! We practice all activities that are at the Conclave, including Quest Games,  AIA events and more.
Fellowship is What we are about at Pow Wow. Be Prepared for Fun and Friends.
Included in this event is our first Ordeal of 2020 (for those that missed our Ordeal weekend in August 2019).
