Order of the Arrow

Waupecan Lodge #197 Order of the Arrow

Each year the scouts elect peers to represent the troop in OA. Elections are usually in the spring, and call out ceremony is at RSR Summer Camp. If a scout is elected and does not attend Summer Camp, they can do their Ordeal (induction) at the Fall Fellowship camp.

The OA hosts its own meetings once a month at the same time and location as Roundtable. They also host Spring and Fall Camporee at RCSR in Morris.

For over 100 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. This recognition provides encouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long term resident camping, and providing cheerful service to others. OA service, activities, adventures, and training for youth and adults are models of quality leadership development and programming that enrich and help to extend Scouting to America's youth.
