In this episode, we take you deep inside the Order of the Arrow (OA) — the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) — uncovering its rich traditions, secret ceremonies, and the lifelong bonds formed through service and brotherhood.
Whether you're a Scout, an Arrowman, or just someone curious about the deeper traditions of Scouting, you'll discover what it really means to live by the ideals of Cheerfulness, Brotherhood, and Service.
We explore:
The founding of the Order of the Arrow in 1915
What it takes to be selected into the OA
Symbolism behind the arrow, ceremonies, and regalia
The meaning behind the “Ordeal,” “Brotherhood,” and “Vigil Honor” levels
How the OA continues to impact young leaders today
Join us for this inspiring look into the "Secret Society" of Scouting that shapes character, leadership, and a lifetime of values.
