National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC)
N O A C is a gathering of over 7,000 Arrowmen from nearly every Lodge in the Nation. Once every few years, we get together for six days of fun, adventure and learning. If you choose to go, you will find a large selection of activities ranging from Native American dancing and regalia to scuba and snorkeling. The best thing is YOU get to choose what you want to do and when to do it. At the last N O A C the list of possibilities was huge including hundreds of activities.
While at N O A C you and your roommate will stay in the University dorm rooms, sleeping on real beds with the University providing the linens, using indoor restrooms and showers. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be served in the University Cafeterias where they do the cooking and the cleaning - all you have to do is return your tray.
As a Lodge we usually take about 50 people each time we go, but it may be possible to take more with pre-registrations and deposits. Out of these, we need an equal mixture of Youth and Adults. Normally the adult slots fill up pretty quickly, so the best way for an adult to get in is to register quickly and get a youth to register with you. Adults who register along with a youth will be considered first to fill the limited available slots.
The total cost this year is expected to be around $500.00 which will include your N O A C fees, several exclusive Tecumseh Lodge NOAC shirts, special NOAC Lodge flaps, special NOAC Council strips and a pizza party during our trip. Additional Lodge flaps and Council strips will be available at a reduced cost to those who join our Lodge contingent, so you can join in with the patch trading which will be abundant at the event. We are usually able to get other items donated which we will distribute to those who go with us. Transportation will be provided by adult volunteers. We will leave from Camp Lazarus, so there will be parking available for those who won’t be driving.
