Arrow Corps5
The Order of the Arrow has had a long-standing interest in coordinating a national service project, utilizing the infrastructure and leadership established over many years of success at the Boy Scouts of America's high adventure bases. Working closely together, the United States Forest Service and the OA have chosen five project sites, spread across America, that will be the focus of our combined efforts. ArrowCorps5 (pronounced Arrow Corps Five) will provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for each participant to set an example of leadership in service to those who treasure our national forests.
Five thousand physically fit and able volunteers (determined by the "Philmont Weight Limits for Backpacking & Hiking"), made up of youth and adults, will participate. The national Order of the Arrow committee and key sponsors will fund the projects. Participants will pay a reasonable fee to help pay for accommodations, meals, and a full day of recreational activities during the projects.
Additional information
will be available through the National Bulletin and National Order of
the Arrow Web Site in the future. Mark Twain National Forest will be
the first of the five sites to be featured starting in the fourth
quarter of 2006 with the other four sites following in 2007.
What is the Fee to Attend?
The ArrowCorps5 fee is $250.00 per site for participants who pay their fee by May 1, 2008 (postmark date). Fees paid after May 1, 2008 will be $300.00. All late fees must be received by the OA Director no later than May 31, 2008. The fee includes eight days of program, 20 meals, safety equipment, insurance coverage, recognition items and a full day of recreation.
