2027 National Order of the Arrow Conference

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. Participants 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 at the unit, district and council levels.
  • New programs, knowledge, and skills to improve lodge and chapter operations.
  • Enhanced leadership skills and a better understanding of how to carry out the work of the lodge. The latest information on outdoor and high-adventure programming, including how to successfully promote Boy Scout camping.
  • New friendships with fellow Arrowmen from throughout the nation.
  • Memories to last a lifetime!

Who Should Go

Muscogee Lodge will receive a delegate allotment (e.g., 25 lodge members), though we may have an opportunity to bring more! When our registration opens, you will sign-up for a chance to attend on the lodge's registration page.

What It Is

NOAC will be the largest OA event of the year. Arrowmen can expect only the best and most exciting activities, training sessions and shows. Attendees will meet their fellow Arrowmen from around the country and have the opportunity to trade patches, make new memories, and find lifelong friendships. Each day will begin with premier training sessions and close with an exciting show. Arrowmen will have the freedom to choose their own journey and which activities they attend throughout the day.

More information about the 2027 NOAC is available HERE and on the NOAC 2027 Event Page.

How To Register

The cost to attend NOAC with Muscogee's delegation is about $1,250 per delegate. This includes the conference fee, transportation, and various memorabilia items. Conference fees cover the promotion patch, conference patch, residence hall housing, meals starting with Monday dinner and ending with Saturday breakfast, credentials and other program materials. Transportation fees to and from the conference, related contingent expenses, and anticipated fundraising amounts are estimates, which will be finalized closer to the event. That said, our goal is to keep the per delegate cost to $1,250, not including money you might bring for discretionary purchases (e.g., patches, memorabilia, meals not provided).

The lodge will coordinate all registration for Muscogee Lodge members, and a link will be provided to sign-up for the lodge delegation. All lodge delegates must travel with the group, unless the Lodge Key 3 approves an exception (requires written approval and discussion with parent/guardian of any Arrowman under 18).
