About
The Order of the Arrow has three distinct organizational levels: lodges, sections, and regions. Lodges carry out the Order of the Arrow program at the local level and are closely tied with BSA councils. Sections consist of several lodges within a geographic region and regions in turn consist of sections within a geographic region of the United States. Lodges, sections, and regions each have a distinct set of responsibilities which ensure that the OA program runs smoothly.
Each section is led by a chief, vice chief, and secretary, who play a crucial part in making the annual Conclave a success. The section may lead training seminars, promote national programs of emphasis, and provide resources to local lodges. The section chief presides over the Council of Chiefs, attended by delegates of each member lodge.
Section G5 of the Order of the Arrow serves 5 lodges in the heart of the Midwest, spanning Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and South Dakota. We strive to support our lodges in their day to day operations and provide section wide events for arrowman to come together and celebrate all which we accomplish each year.
The Order of the Arrow is organized into two geographic regions (Eastern and Gateway) that serve as the middle layer between national leadership and local program. Each region is led by an elected youth Region Chief and an appointed volunteer Region Chair who work together to coordinate activities and support across multiple states. Regions make national programs more accessible and provide personalized support that understands local challenges and opportunities.
- Bridge the gap between national and local programs by translating national initiatives into actionable support for sections and lodges in their geographic area
- Organize regional training events like National Leadership Seminars, Developing Youth Leadership Conferences, and Section Officer Seminars to develop leaders across multiple councils
- Provide a regional youth leader (Region Chief) elected by section chiefs who serves as a direct connection between local lodges and national leadership
