2009 OA
Trail Crew Applications Now Available
 The
Order of the Arrow Trail Crew program is one of the best ways to experience
Scouting's premier high adventure base, Philmont Scout
Ranch. For two
weeks, participants see and experience all that Philmont has to offer and much
more.
For the first
week, participants have the chance to make a significant difference to Philmont
by participating in trail building in the backcountry. Work will include
clearing terrain for trail and constructing switchbacks, retention bars, and
several other erosion controls. The impact of this service will be felt by
scouts for decades.
The second week
of the program is spent experiencing Philmont in its finest. Unlike regular
treks, Trail Crews make their own itinerary,
instead of selecting from pre-planned routes. You can do and see just about
anything, from the Tooth of Time to Baldy Mountain, your crew decides!

2009 OA
Wilderness Voyage
Applications Now Available
 The
Order of the Arrow Wilderness Voyage program is an experience like no other. For
two weeks, you will join together with Arrowmen from around the country and
experience all that the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern
Minnesota has to offer.
The first week
of the program is spent giving back to the Boundary Waters through portage trail
restoration work. Participants have the opportunity to leave their mark on the
Boundary Waters that will enable millions of visitors each year to better enjoy
their experience. Trail work involves restoring and protecting trails that have
existed for centuries and are in dire need or repair.
The second part
of the program is a trek planned by the crew. From the 8-1/2 mile "Grand
Portage" leading to Lake Superior, to the Height of Land, even the pictographs
on Fishdance Lake, crews have done and seen all in the Boundary Waters.

2009 OA
Ocean Adventure
Applications Now Available
 The
Order of the Arrow Ocean Adventure is a unique opportunity to experience the
programs at the Florida Sea Base, while providing a new type of service to the
Atlantic Ocean. In a two-week period, participants will complete PADI SCUBA
certification, as well as interact with undersea wildlife like no other Scouts
do.
For one week,
participants will undergo intensive SCUBA certification in preparation. Arrowmen
will also provide meaningful service to the staff of the Florida Sea Base, and
enjoy fun in the Florida sun while brushing up on their volleyball skills.
The second week
of OAOA is spent using the SCUBA certification to its fullest extent.
Participants will spend their time taking wildlife samples in the Florida Keys,
performing island restoration and other meaningful projects to the surrounding
area.

"The
Order of the Arrow is a 'thing of the spirit' rather than of mechanics.
Organization, operational
procedure, and paraphernalia are necessary in any large and growing movement,
but they are not what count in the end. The things of the spirit count-
Brotherhood - in a day
when there is too much hatred at home and abroad.
Cheerfulness - in a day when the pessimists have the floor.
Service - in a day when millions are interested only in getting or grasping
rather than giving.
These are of the spirit,
blessed of God, the great Divine Spirit."
- Dr. E. Urner Goodman |
