Order of the Arrow
The Order of the Arrow (OA) is the national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America. Founded in 1915, it uses American Indian traditions and ceremonies to bestow recognition on Scouts selected by their peers as best exemplifying the Scout Oath and Scout Law in their daily lives. Inducted members are known as Arrowmen or brothers and are organized into local youth-led lodges for fellowship and the rendering of service to Boy Scout councils and their communities.
The purpose of the Order of the Arrow is fourfold:
- To recognize those Scout campers who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition cause other campers to conduct themselves in such a manner as to warrant recognition
- To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit
- To promote Scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as a part of the unit’s camping program, both year-round and in the summer camp, as directed by the local council’s camping committee
- To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others
Our Arrowmen are:
- Patrick Bisconti
- Savino Brusco
- Chris Carley (OA Representative)
- Clark Gordon
- Stephen Ircha
- Christopher Landy
- Joseph Landy
- Will Stoeffhaas
