National Order of the Arrow Conference Information

The National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) is the flagship national Order of the Arrow event. It is held every two years and is typically attended by as many as 8,000 Arrowmen from all 50 states and numerous other countries. Any youth member of the Shawnee Lodge is eligible to attend the conference with our contingent.  Adult members of the lodge can apply to attend the conference with the contingent or as a member of the conference staff. The 2027 NOAC will be held July 26 – July 31st, 2027 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Join us at NOAC to watch the nightly stadium shows, bring our lodge to victory in the sports and other various competitions, and meet Arrowmen nationwide, all while spending a week living in a college dorm.

The Shawnee Lodge NOAC Committee has formed to start planning our participation in the conference for 2027.  Members can reserve their spot at the conference with a $100 refundable deposit.  

The lodge contingent fee includes:

Conference Fee including housing and all meals during the conference

Conference Training Events

Activities

Round Trip Transportation to the conference.

Commemorative Shawnee NOAC items available only to members from our lodge attending or staffing the conference. (Includes patches to trade - a popular NOAC tradition!)

Reserve your spot for NOAC today and prepare to have a blast with your lodge at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign!

     *The exact departure and return dates/times are still to be determined based on our scheduled arrival/departure times for conference registration, but it is currently expected that the contingent will leave sometime in the morning on July 26th.
