One of the Order's most succesful service programs in recent years has been the Order of the Arrow Trail Crew (OATC). An OATC Reunion of past crew members was held at the 1998 NOAC in the Memorial Union on the ISU campus.

Present were 1998 OATC Co-Directors Todd Turner and David Stowe, as well as 1997 Director Ryan Miske and a number of former participants. The directors noted that the impact of the OATC program at Philmont has been great. "OATC was the hallmark experience of my life," said Turner. Miske agreed that the program was something very special.
