2008 ArrowCorps5 Service Team Member
Emblem
The
National Order of the Arrow Committee announces the release of the 2008 ArrowCorps5 Service Team Member Emblem. This colorful patch is
being issued to Arrowmen who have committed to serving this summer at one of the
five ArrowCorps5 sites.
The emblem will begin to be shipped from the office late the last week of March
to all Arrowmen (both participants and staff) who have paid deposits to attend
or staff one of the five ArrowCorps5
sites.
The looped emblem is to be worn on the Uniform in the temporary patch area, and
will be replaced with the ArrowCorps5
Service Shield that will be given to each person completing their
ArrowCorps5 Service. The Order is proud of the service its
members are about to provide and encourages every member to wear their Service
Team Emblem and tell the story of ArrowCorps5!

to allow councils to reserve and confirm preferred sites. ArrowCorp5

until June 1, 2008. Following June 1 only the National Office of
the Order of the Arrow will be able to grant access.
Final fees for a total of $250 per participant
per site are due May 1, 2008. Fees paid after May 1, 2008
will be $300 per participant per site.
ArrowCorps5 - Brotherhood
and FellowshipHas your council reserved
your spot in history? Over 50% of the councils in the nation have
made a commitment to ArrowCorps5 to be a part
of the largest, most complex, most challenging conservation project
ever planned by the Order of the Arrow. Four sites have
space available, but a $100 deposit per person, per site,
must be submitted to the national office immediately. Do not be
left at home this summer, contact your lodge leadership to join
your council's contingent and plan to attend ArrowCorps5!
Your Summer of 2008
What do you see yourself doing during the summer of 2008?
Sitting at home, complaining you are bored, waiting for summer camp week to get
here? Wouldn't you rather be a par of something big? How big you ask? How about
5 US National forests, over 5 weeks with 5,000 Arrowmen? ArrowCorps5
is the largest, most complex, most challenging conservation project ever
conceived by the Order of the Arrow. Over 8 days you will have a chance to
participate in a variety of activities that may include trail building, brush
removal, cleanup activities, reconstruction, and one fun-filled action packed
day of adventure. These projects will have a lasting impact for generations
allowing tens of thousands to enjoy the efforts of ArrowCorps5.
Wait? What? You are going to be over the age of 21 by next
summer? No problem! For the first time ever adult Arrowmen will have the
opportunity to participate in a high adventure like atmosphere with the youth
Arrowmen. No it is not Trail Crew, nor Wilderness Voyage, but ArrowCorps5,
our largest conservation project.
