2012 OA Unit Elections

  OA Unit election team members, please click on the "Election Teams" tab on the left to see information specifically for election teams.

The Purpose of the Order of the Arrow is fourfold:

• To recognize those Scout campers who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives

• To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit

• To promote Scout camping

• To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others

   Every year from January to March, OA Unit Election Teams visit Scout Troops and Varsity Teams throughout the District to honor those Scouts that have best lived up to, and exemplified,  the Scout Oath and Law. Each Election Team conducts an election so that a Scout Unit can recognize, and honor, those qualified Scouts. It is considered an honor just to be nominated for membership in Scouting's National Honor Society, the Order of the Arrow.

   For the 2012 election season, we will be having Election Teams visiting Scouting Units throughout the District. On the navigation tab to the left you will find FAQ's (frequently asked questions), training material for Election Teams, a calendar of elections for every Unit in the District, youth election forms for Election Teams, election packets and adult nomination forms for Scout Masters.

   On the Unit Election Calendar page you will find which Troops or Teams we have an election scheduled for so far. If you do not see a date listed for your Unit then please contact us so that we can get an election scheduled for you.

   Scout Masters please note: Adult nomination forms and election packets specifically for Troops and Teams can be found on the Scout Masters page. Also, on the column to the left is a link to a submission form where Scout Masters can submit names of eligible youth (20 years of age and under) for the elections.
