About
For over 100 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. This recognition provides encouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long term resident camping, and providing cheerful service to others. OA service, activities, adventures, and training for youth and adults are models of quality leadership development and programming that enrich and help to extend Scouting to America’s youth.

Any first year Arrowman who completes the requirements will be awarded the Kansa Lodge First Year Arrowman Award. It is with hope that you will meet new friends, find new interests, and get a head start on the path of service that is central to the Order of the Arrow.
It is a feather pin to be worn on the Lodge flap and is designed to be worn over the top so that everyone can recognize your achievement.

The Scouting adventure, camping trips, high-adventure excursions, and having fun are important to everyone in Scouting—and so is your safety and well-being. Completing the Annual Health and Medical Record is the first step in making sure you have a great Scouting experience. You can download a copy HERE.
The safety of our Scouts, volunteers, employees, and communities continues to be our top priority. We must continue our vigilance to assure that youth and their families are safe while they enjoy the many benefits of Scouting.
We continue to follow the guidance from expert agencies and follow the measures that have become second nature to many – hand hygiene, masks, distancing, meeting in cohorts and remaining at home if you have symptoms or feel bad.
We encourage everyone to consult with their physician and get vaccinated. It is our best hope for returning to normalcy in our Scouting family.
The critical need of today is for all to understand the rationale for our caution and actions. Because of the pandemic, fewer youth have joined our Movement. To welcome new members and their families, we must demonstrate that we are safe and are concerned with the health of all. The success of the Scouting program depends on conducting regular meetings and activities in a safe and responsible way.
As always, please be mindful of the Scout Oath and Law as we continue to navigate a safe return to the activities we enjoy.
