NLS and the Everyday Arrowman
This year, the Order of the Arrow has yet again run an outstanding National Leadership Seminar (NLS) program. These weekend-long seminars are more than just workshops; they are insightful leadership training experiences designed for those ready to aid their local lodges and step into the role of the next leaders and advisers of the OA. The main focus is to provide youth and adult participants with practical skills and knowledge that they can bring back to their lodges, therefore strengthening the overall OA community.
