Join thousands of Arrowmen from across the country for the OA’s largest event!

Approximately every two years, the Order of the Arrow holds a national conference (NOAC) on the campus of a major university. NOAC is our flagship national event, held over six days with 6,000 – 8,000 Arrowmen participating from throughout the BSA. The conference program includes innovative leadership development, programs, fellowship periods and inspirational shows.

All contingent members must be in good standing with the lodge with current dues paid through the current year. Acceptance requires approval by the Scout Executive, the Lodge Advisor, or their designee.

A limited number of spots are available and are on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to youth/youth-adult (<21 year old) participants. Once our reserved spots have been filled, participants will be added to a waitlist until more spots become available. Participants on the waitlist will be offered a position in the contingent based on the order of registration.

Participants removed from the contingent due to violations of NOAC conference or BSA policies will not receive a refund and may be responsible for their own housing/transportation home. All balances must be paid in full before departure - no exceptions.
