Let’s go camping for free! Simply selling cards helps the Scout earn their way to camp and provides discounts to many local vendors. This is a fantastic way to help fund most of your Scout camping needs, in that you can help pay for those events by selling SCOUT CARDS! There are six regional cards available this year (Nashville Area, Clarksville, Columbia/Lawrenceburg/Pulaski, Cookeville/McMinnville, Murfreesboro, Tullahoma) so everyone across the Council can benefit from one of these cards.

The 2022 Scout Card Sale will begin on February 21, 2022 and run through April 22, 2022. This $5.00 Scout card will help your Scouts earn their way to camp and the unit will earn 50% commission on every Scout card sold! Feel free to contact our Camp Card Advisor, Vance Lackey, at Vance.lackey@scouting.org or 615-383-9724.

The Order of the Arrow (OA) is Scouting’s National Honor Society. It recognizes those who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and, through that recognition, cause others to conduct themselves in a way that warrants similar recognition, to promote camping, to develop leaders, and to crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.

Youth (under 21), must meet a camping requirement and have attained First Class, the Discovery Award, or the Ordinary Rank. Scouters over 21 can be considered for nominations after the election is completed.

OA elections are completed by teams of Arrowmen at the normal time and place of unit meetings. All BSA Troops, Crews, and Ships are urged to have an election by the end of April. This gives their members the most opportunities to attend either of the two Induction Weekends offered by the OA during the summer.

If you are ready to schedule an election, please visit us at www.wa-hi-nasa.org/requestelection/.
