NOAC

National Order of the Arrow Conference

July 30 – August 4, 2012

Michigan State University, East Lansing

The National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) is Scouting’s second largest national program event. Over 8000 Arrowmen from around the country will be there. This spectacular event will be exciting, relevant and non-stop fun. 

NOAC will feature a number of unique events, including national competitions for ceremonies, drum, and dance; evening shows; the OA history museum; and awesome recreation competitions such as soccer, basketball, and ultimate Frisbee. Highlights such as the Founder’s Day festivities including the Founder’s Day Parade, the Grand Hodag, and the inter-Region dodge ball battle are some of the exciting events at NOAC.

Arrowmen can participate in service projects, high adventure opportunities, leadership training, American Indian Activities training, and much more. While enjoying the various activities, Scouts will have a great time meeting new brothers and sharing their experiences with people from around the nation.
