The Order of the Arrow is doing more today, we believe, than it has ever done for Arrowmen, Scouting, and the community. Our organization has been charting a path upward and outward as our message of servant leadership is being carried out in words and actions by thousands of Arrowmen across the nation.

2011 helped chart this path as we completed the largest youth service project ever performed for the National Park Service, developed dozens of new resources for units, chapters, and lodges, and laid the groundwork for future improvements to our high adventure programs.

But the work of the Order cannot be fully expressed through these national projects and initiatives. Our strongest resource and greatest success lies within each of our 300 lodges and 170,000 members. Our local support of councils and their camps, hands-on leadership development in the youth of Scouting, and contribution to retention of older Scouts remain our most robust and important activities. CONTENTS This document, though it gives an incredible glance at the strength of our programs in 2011, represents only the tip of the iceberg. The potential support our programs can provide to the is essentially limitless, and only constrained by our own creativity and drive—as has been shown by the innovative approaches of lodges and chapters across the country. Take this report as a jumping-off point: the bulk of the impact that a local Order of the Arrow program can have on Arrowmen, Scouting, and the community is in your hands.
