2018 NOAC Announcement

Dear Arrowman,

Registration for the National Order of the Arrow Conference 2018 is now open! NOAC is Scouting’s second-largest national event, and carried out entirely by Arrowmen. This year, participants will be travelling to Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, for a five-day conference from July 30th to August 4th. Participants will have the opportunity to develop enhanced leadership skills, gather ideas from a national perspective on how to better their own lodge, and enjoy fellowship with Arrowmen from across the country.

Due to anticipated interest and the facilities available at Indiana University, our Lodge’s slots are limited. If you are interested in participating in this great national event, we must know in advance so we may organize a contingent. An initial deposit of $100 is required to secure your slot in our contingent, and must be paid by September 29th at the latest. The conference fee for NOAC 2018 will be $525 per participant, with an estimated additional cost of $100-$300 per participant for transportation.

To express your interest in attending as a part of our Lodge’s contingent, please visit www.leatherstockingcouncil.org/NOAC and complete the online interest form. Please note that your $100 deposit is nonrefundable but does apply to the conference fee. If our Lodge is unable to provide you a slot at NOAC 2018, your deposit will be refunded.

Join us in representing Ohkwaliha·Ká Lodge #34 for our Lodge’s first national event! We hope to see you there!

In Service,
Kegan Kleeschulte
Lodge Chief
