During an ordeal, you will work with other individuals to test your will and see if you have the drive to go above and beyond the regular duties of a scout, and be given the prestigious title of Arrowman. Your ordeal is the gateway to the Order of the Arrow, where you will make new friends. We can't wait for our cantidates to arrive! If you would like to achieve the honor of Brotherhood, this is the place to do it!

Trail Corps 748
The first Trail Crew meeting was 12-16-09 in the Admin Building at Camp Yocona! What an adventure to be involved in! We have 20 new members. Some members still need a little more coaxing. There are so many things to be done, that the trail work planned for spring break will involve an overnighter on the trail. Most of the bridges out at Camp Yocona need tread and rails. The most important thing right now is getting the program areas ready for summer camp! These program areas include pioneering and wilderness survival. We have a lot of work in front of us so prepare yourself for the challenge! What will be your legacy?

Develop leaders with the willingness, character, spirit, and ability to advance the activities of their units, our Brotherhood, Scouting, and ultimately our nation.
-
To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.

Founder
The Order of the Arrow (OA) was founded by Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948, the OA was recognized as the BSA's national brotherhood of honor campers and became an official part of the national camping program of the Boy Scouts of America. Today, the OA is recognized as Scouting's National Honor Society.
