NOAC 2024

July 29th - August 3rd, 2024

University of Coloroado, Boulder

NOAC is the premier event offering of the Order of the Arrow.  10,000+ Order of the Arrow members come together for a conference full of training cells, activities, and a multitude of brotherhood opportunities with Order of the Arrow members from across the country.

The reason for its growing popularity can be attributed to the fact that it is planned and carried out by youth Order of the Arrow members.  Youth involvement ensures that the conference program will be exciting, relevant, and with non-stop fun!

Participants will return home with:

• A deeper understanding of the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Order of the Arrow Obligation, and what it means to "live" these words in one's daily life.
• A renewed spirit, pride, and enthusiasm for Scouting and the Order of the Arrow.
• Ideas that can be used to better serve Scouting at the unit, district, and council levels.
• New programs, knowledge, and skills to improve chapter and lodge operations.
• Enhanced leadership skills and a better understanding of how to carry out the work of the lodge. 
• New friendships with fellow Arrowmen from throughout the nation
• Memories to last a lifetime.
