Momentum: Discover is the third national event within the Momentum series, focusing around camping and the outdoors. Arrowmen are invited to participate in this virtual event by joining us from April 23 – 24, 2021 as the Momentum team broadcasts content from council camps throughout the country.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been confined to our own homes, with limited access to the outdoors. With the end of the pandemic in sight, we are able to get back into the outdoors and back into Scouting at our local Council Camps. With that exciting prospect in mind, we are thrilled to announce Momentum: Discover!
Momentum: Discover will be the ultimate experience to re-engage with camping and the outdoors, and ALL SCOUTS are invited to register! Our team has worked hard to provide every registered delegate with a Momentum: Discover experience they will not forget.
For the first time ever, we will be broadcasting LIVE from camps in all four regions with fresh, innovative, and exciting entertainment, contests, and training. All Scouts are sure to be in for a scouting experience like no other!
To assist lodges in promoting Momentum: Discover, we have created this promotional toolkit for your use. We are excited to see you and the arrowmen of your lodge at Momentum: Discover!

Dear [insert lodge name] members,
We are excited to invite you to participate in Momentum: Discover, the third event in the Order of the Arrow’s series of national virtual events! Since August 2020, our organization has hosted some of the most innovative events in the history of the Order of the Arrow. At Momentum: Launch, we learned how to build momentum with over 35 hours of exciting activities and training sessions. In November, we welcomed more than 700 Scouts into the Order of the Arrow at Momentum: Spark. Now, Momentum: Discover will bring us back to our roots and focus on camping and the outdoors. In continuing the Momentum tradition, there will also be plenty of original content, including competitions with the national officers, training sessions, and special guests. More information about the event can be found on our lodge website or on the Momentum: Discover website at momentum.oa-bsa.org.
We hope you’ll participate in this great event. You can watch the livestream for free as a basic delegate or register as a premium delegate. Premium delegates get the full event experience in exchange for a $25 registration fee: access to the community platform, the event wide game, access to all archived Momentum content, and the Momentum: Discover patch and sticker.
Help us continue to build our organization’s Momentum by attending this event. Registration for premium delegates is online now at momentum.oa-bsa.org! [insert lodge name] Lodge is excited for Momentum: Discover and we encourage you to participate in this event and to also get outdoors safely, responsibly, and frequently!
