The National Council of Chiefs (NCOC) is a gathering of lodge and section leaders from across the nation aimed at providing an opportunity for the OA’s youth leaders to provide input on the direction of the OA, make connections with Arrowmen they would not ordinarily have the opportunity to meet, and participate in a quality training program aimed at supporting their leadership role. Typically, the NCOC is held at the Philmont Training Center in Cimarron, New Mexico. Arrowmen who attended NCOC in the past had the opportunity to directly connect with national leadership, give input into future national programs of emphasis, and explore the Philmont Scout Ranch’s backcountry trails.
