While the Order of the Arrow exists as a single organization, there are dozens of sections, hundreds of lodges, thousands of chapters, and an uncountable number of units supporting Scouting and the world around us. Despite this, the endeavor of providing cheerful service, inducting new members, promoting camping and outdoor stewardship, and much more is a significant undertaking for a single lodge.

For this reason, the Order of the Arrow creates and maintains resources designed to help lodges deliver the organization’s mission and purpose. Many of these resources have been created by leaders with personal experience delivering the OA’s program at the lodge level. Other resources are best practices that have been cultivated by lodges through experience and innovation. All of these resources have one goal in common: to support the local levels of the Order of the Arrow.

The OA is always looking to provide more resources to support units, chapters, lodges, and sections in delivering our vision. If you have suggestions or best practices to share, reach out to us here.
