Individual Nomination & Petition Forms
The Distinguished Service Award and Red Arrow Award are presented at National Order of the Arrow Conferences. Nominations for these awards to be presented at the 2027 NOAC must be submitted by Sunday, January 31, 2027.
The online portal for DSA and Red Arrow Award nominations is now available at forms.oa-scouting.org. All nominations for these awards must be made using this portal. A few notes:
- To access the portal, the nominator will need to sign into the portal with their ArrowID. If the nominator doesn’t have an account, they can create one as they log in.
- Once the nominator is signed into the portal, they will be able to create the nomination and submit all the biographical information online.
- There is the opportunity to upload one letter of support for the nomination. This is outside of the justification that the nominator completes online.
- The nominator must upload the council signature page, available for download within the portal. This should be completed by obtaining all signatures required from the nominee's local council, then uploading a single signature page.
- Approval of nominations by region OA chairs is handled through the portal, alleviating the need to get the forms to the region chair and submitted prior to the deadline.
- The portal will close on 1/31/27 at 5 PM CST.
