During the summer of 2008, the Order of the Arrow will deliver one of the largest conservation efforts in Scouting's history. ArrowCorps5 will be unlike any program the Boy Scouts of America has ever offered. More than 5,000 Arrowmen will converge on five national forests over five different weeks to make a difference that will literally last a lifetime.

Whether building new trails or helping preserve nearly extinct species, you will be working shoulder-to-shoulder with Arrowmen from across the country to improve our forests, our lands, and our world. Open to both youth and adult Arrowmen, ArrowCorps5 will teach you valuable leadership and conservation skills you can take home to your lodge to bring the Outdoor Code to life in your community.

We hope that you will consider being on staff at one (or more!) of the five ArrowCorps5 sites. If you are interested, please give us your contact information at the ArrowCorps5 Staff Interest Portal at www.ac5.oa-bsa.org. This is the first step to being on staff but sign up quickly so we know you are interested!

Staff members will be chosen carefully based on their leadership skills, experience, and commitment to the ideals of the ArrowCorps5 project. Importantly, many ArrowCorps5 staff members will be expected to attend the 2007 National Conservation and Leadership Summit to be trained in the skills needed for ArrowCorps5 in 2008.

Please continue to visit the national OA Web site ( www.oa-bsa.org ) for more information about the 2008 ArrowCorps5 project. Information on the various sites, dates, and registration are available there.

ArrowCorps5 will be the opportunity of a lifetime. What you give at that event will give to others for years to come. Be a part of something bigger than yourself -- be of service.
