Five Sites… Five Weeks… Five Thousand Volunteers

 In 2008 the Order of the Arrow and the U.S. Forest Service are joining together to create a national program titled ArrowCorps⁵ (pronounced “arrow core five”).  ArrowCorps⁵ is a chance for Arrowmen to perform public service at five different U.S. National Forests across the United States.  Each site will be offered for one week during the summer of 2008 and each site will conduct a service project for the National Forest ranging from trail building and maintenance to invasive species control.  Each of the five sites and the dates for each site are listed below at the bottom of this page.

 ArrowCorps⁵ will be the largest service project ever undertaken by the Boy Scouts of America.

ArrowCorps⁵ will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for each participant
to set an example of leadership in service to those who treasure our national forests.

    The minimum age to participate is 14 by June 1, 2008.  Both youth and adults may participate.

    You must be able to meet the Philmont Weight Limits for Backpacking and Hiking in order to participate (see www.scouting.org/philmont/visitors/planning/weight.html for details).  Don’t let being moderately over the weight limits stop you from attending—use ArrowCorps⁵ as your opportunity to become more “physically fit”.

You or your son may attend the ArrowCorps⁵ program at any one of the five sites or any number of the sites.  The cost to attend each week will be $250 (which includes food) plus travel expenses as well as personal gear including tentage.  A $100 deposit is due by January and we strongly encourage that you pay this fee as soon as possible.  More details will follow for those that express interest at the meeting.

 You or your son may travel on your own or with separate lodge contingents currently being planned to both the Mark Twain site in Missouri by ground travel (at an approximate travel cost of $125) and to the Bridger-Teton Site in Wyoming by air travel (at an approximate travel cost of $850).  Please note that all youth must travel to and from their respective sites either with a parent or legal guardian or under travel arrangements meeting BSA standards (tour permits, two-deep leadership, Guide to Safe Scouting, youth protection guidelines, etc.).  If you wish to take part at a site other than Mark Twain or Bridger-Teton the lodge will assist with your travel plans, including putting you in contact with other OA lodges in our area, if desired.

 For more information about each of these five sites, the service projects to be conducted at each,
