Throughout the week, Arrowmen were encouraged to meet people and engage with the conference program through the conference-wide game, Ascent, sponsored by America’s Navy. Ascent enabled Arrowmen to interact with the conference in unique ways, earning points in a conference-wide competition.
In total, over 309,000 new connections were made throughout NOAC. With Arrowmen checking into programs more than 177,000 times throughout the week, earning over 52,000 badges. In total, more than 30 million points were earned during NOAC 2024. Congratulations to everyone who participated in making their own Ascent!
Youth delegates had the chance to earn exclusive prizes throughout the week, and competed to land atop the leaderboard. The top three Arrowmen would receive an REI Gift Card to help fuel their outdoor adventures. Congratulations to Yashas K. from Owaneco Lodge, Connecticut Yankee Council for winning the youth delegate competition and winning a $1,000 REI Gift Card. Second place went to Brian S. from Owaneco Lodge, Connecticut Yankee Council, who received a $750 REI Gift Card, while third place and a $500 REI Gift Card went to Anderson S. from Egwa Tawa Dee Lodge, Atlanta Area Council. Congratulations to all Arrowmen, especially the over 5,200 who earned a prize this week!
Regardless of where your journey took you this week, we hope your personal Ascent through NOAC was just the beginning. We can’t wait to see where your Scouting journey takes you as you Seek New Heights at your home lodge, council, and unit.
