(The Best of the Best)
Order of the Arrow
The Order of the Arrow (OA) is the Scouting Brotherhood of honor campers.
It is a society of Boy Scouts that function as a part of the regular camping
program of the Boy Scouts of America. Its foremost purpose is to promote
and enrich Scout camping. Elements of Indian traditions are used in the
OA ceremonies for dramatic effect. The OA members in a local Scout Council
form a Lodge (used as in Indian traditions of hunting or council lodge).
One becomes a member, not so much for what he has done, but for what he
is expected to do in the future.
The purpose of the OA is to recognize those campers- Scouts, and Scouters-
who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their lives and by such recognition,
cause other campers to conduct themselves in such a manner as to warrant
recognition. It is to develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit,
to promote Scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as apart
of the Unit's camping program, and to strengthen the District and Council
programs both year-around and summer camp, as directed by the camping and
activities committee of the Council. Finally, its purpose includes crystalization
os the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life of leadership in cheerful
service to others.
The OA was founded in the summer of 1915 by the directors of Treasure
Island, the Philadelphia Council Scout Camp. It grew out of the desire
to emphasize that the good Scout Camper is not only proficient in the skills
of Scoutcraft, but also practices the principles of the Scout Oath and
Law. It was intended to make these Scout principles more effective in the
lives of Scout campers. It focuses particular attention on making cheerful
service and brotherhood working realities to the boy.
The Order of the Arrow is run by the Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts and
Venturers. Adults only serve in Advisory roles.
