Information:
Every two years, Arrowmen from across the country gather on the
campus of a major university for the National Order of
the Arrow Conference (NOAC).
The National Order of the Arrow Conference is Scouting's
second-largest national program event. The reason for its growing
popularity can be attributed to the fact that it is planned and
carried out by Arrowmen themselves. Youth involvement ensures that
the conference program will be exciting, relevant, and non-stop fun.
These gatherings draw over 7000 Arrowmen, traveling from as far
away as Europe and Asia, for five days of training, fun, and
fellowship. With each conference, NOAC becomes more diversified,
more fun, and more exciting.
NOAC has many different aspects and it is impossible to
participate in every event in one year. Each year events are added
and changed so you could go to NOAC every time and do new things
each time. The main activities at NOAC include training, ceremonies
evaluation, American Indian events, shows, competitions, and
Founder's Day. NOAC has something for everyone of all backgrounds
and all ages. It is definitely one of Scouting's most unique and
entertaining training events.
