2024 NOAC - National Order of the Arrow Conference - WAITLIST

NOAC
National Order of the Arrow Conference
"Seek New Heights"
THIS IS A WAIT LIST ONLY - NATIONAL REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED
On January 26, the National registration portal was closed due to NOAC being "sold out". They have now started a waitlist program for Lodges to add any interested members to the contingent.
In order to add your name to the waitlist, you will still need to make a payment of $625 and follow the payment schedule until we get approval or denial from National. This is because the Lodge will be charged for that spot as soon as we reserve in your name. If you are not selected to attend then a full refund will be issued. At this point youth spots will be given priority over adult spots.
What is NOAC?
The National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) is the flagship national Order of the Arrow event. It is held every two years at a major university campus and is attended by over 6,000 Arrowmen from all 50 states. It is second only to the BSA National Jamboree in size and scope. We can’t wait to get back to NOAC and watch the nightly stadium shows, bring our lodge to victory in the sports and ceremony competitions, and meet Arrowmen nationwide, all while spending a week living in a college dorm—and yes, it will have air conditioning!
The conference itself is held from July 29-August 3, 2024, but we will also need time to travel to and from Colorado. We’ll share more details in the coming weeks about our itinerary and opportunities, but for now, mark your calendars to attend the 2024 NOAC with our lodge contingent!
