The 2023 National Program of Emphasis is Operation Arrow!
Operation Arrow continues a 60-plus year OA legacy by providing essential service to the National Scout Jamboree. Over 250 youth Arrowmen will support the jamboree program by joining one of the OA program areas: the Service Corps or Summit Apex.
The OA Service Corps is our traditional service-oriented team that has supported jamboree programs and operations since 1950. The OA Service Corps are the boots-on-the-ground of the jamboree staff, which handle the logistical needs of the entire event. This may include supporting contingent arrival, assisting with jamboree program staffing, show mobilization and more. It is a great way to serve and see many different aspects of the jamboree.
Summit Apex is the new jamboree outpost experience hosted by the Order of the Arrow. Summit Apex staff will lead this outpost program consisting of an afternoon and evening of unique activities providing each jamboree participant with new experiences, friends and an even greater appreciation for Scouting.
Operation Arrow staffers do not just provide the essential program and logistical service to the 2023 National Jamboree. We also plan to have scheduled free time for staff members to experience many of the exciting program offerings made available to participants.
