 The National Order of the Arrow Conference is Scouting's second-largest 
national program event. The reason for its growing popularity can be attributed 
to the fact that it is planned and carried out by Arrowmen. Youth involvement 
ensures that the conference program will be exciting, relevant, and non-stop 
fun. 
As you promote the conference to your lodge membership and plan the details 
for your lodge's involvement in conference activities, keep in mind the many 
benefits that are likely to accrue for your lodge and its members. Lodge members 
will return home with: 
	- A deeper understanding of the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Order of the Arrow 
	Obligation, and what it means to "live" these words in one's daily life.
 
	- A renewed spirit, pride, and enthusiasm for Scouting and the Order of 
	the Arrow.
 
	- Ideas their lodge can use to better serve Scouting in their home unit 
	and council.
 
	- New program ideas, knowledge, and skills to improve the lodge.
 
	- Increased leadership skills and a better understanding of how to carry 
	out the work of the lodge.
 
	- The latest information on camping and high- adventure programming, 
	including how to successfully promote Boy Scout camping.
 
	- New friendships with fellow Arrowmen from throughout the country.
 
	- Memories to last a lifetime.
