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.

Unit Elections

Has your troop or crew conducted an OA unit election this year? If not there's still time! Our induction weekend has been postponed until October 9-11, and we have extended our unit election season to accommodate troops and crews who were unable to hold a unit election earlier due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are able to conduct unit elections virtually, if needed. In addition, the camping night policy for OA membership has been revised: to learn more please visit, oa-bsa.org/coronavirus/temporary-camping-night-policy-due-covid-19. Remember, the only way to induct members into the Order of the Arrow is by a unit election conducted by Waguli's election team. Our Team will work with any situation and if you are unclear with the challenges this year, just contact us and we will help you unit work through to a solution.  Please contact us at wagulilodge@gmail.com if your troop or crew is interested in an election.
