Unit ElectionsScoutmasters, Crew Advisers, & Skippers,
The Order of the Arrow is Scouting’s National Honor Society. It recognizes those who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and, through that recognition, cause others to conduct themselves in a way that warrants similar recognition, to promote camping, to develop leaders, and to crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. Each Scouts BSA troop, Venturing crew and Sea Scout ship with qualified Scouts is urged to hold an election not later than March 15, 2023, to select candidates for the Order of the Arrow. The date and place of the election are selected by you, as unit leader. An election team from Buckskin Lodge will be present to conduct the election, which should take 20 to 30 minutes. Voting for youth candidates will be based on their spirit of brotherhood, cheerfulness, and a willingness to give unselfish and wholehearted service to others at all times. To schedule your election use the election scheduler on this page or contact a representative from your chapter. Once the form is completed you will be hearing from your Chapter Election Team within the week. Every effort should be made to have 100% attendance of both youth & adults at this meeting. As per national policy, 50% of registered youth is required to conduct the election. |
