Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.

Could someone please tell me the process to apply for the Order of the Arrow Trail Crew? How selective is it? For any one who has gone, is it worth doing? If I go, this will be my first trip to Philmont. Should I chose a diffrent program for a first time? Thanks, Eaglepacker

I use a Garmin Etrex. It works great.

First, let me say I love The OA, Venturing, and Scouting, these are fantastic programs that benefit youth. Second, I believe all these should work together and enhance each other. I am in a very small crew (only 6 youth and 5 advisors)of our 11 members, 8 are in the Order of the Arrow 3 are vigil and 1 youth(a former lodge chief), plus our COR(former lodge advisor), has received the founders award. of the 8 people in the order 6 have served on our LEC. We do wear the flaps. I believe venturers are scouts, and are slowly being accepted into the community. Back on topic, the BSA uniforming guidelines state a lodge flap is allowed to be worn on a venturing uniform, plain and simple. But is it really necessary to establish this rule? A person can decide to wear a patch or not it is that easy. A scout who is in the OA joined a crew with the same rule as Trail Pounder's. He asked me if he could still wear his flap, I asked him: "Is an arrowman defined by what is on his pocket or by what is beneath it?" Eaglepacker "Macaroni and cheese...is a thing of the sprit"
