Back by popular demand, our two-day, two-night Arrow of Light (AOL) program (June 12-14) is the perfect chance for AOL Scouts and their families to meet and engage with Scouts BSA Troops, making the transition into Scouts BSA smooth, exciting, and fun!

AOL Scouts will:

• Experience real Scouts BSA camping and adventure
• Meet and interact with Troops from across the region to find the best fit
