Founders Day is a day of fun and excitement honoring the
Founders of the Order of the Arrow. It is a day-long
celebration that begins with an opening parade where regions
and sections are encouraged to use their creative skills to
decorate their own golf cart and join in as an entry in the
parade. The parade will include both area and National entries
that you won't want to miss.
The parade concludes at the Goodman Games field where a
Founders Day opening ceremony will be conducted. Following the
ceremony, the
Goodman Games
commence with lodge contingent
teams competing during pre-registered time slots. While
awaiting their assigned Goodman Games time slot, lodge
contingents will be able to visit the TOAP site and enjoy stage
performances scheduled throughout the morning.
In the afternoon, Founders Day shifts attention to the
Founders' Fair
area with a kickoff barbecue lunch. During the afternoon,
participants will be able to visit lodge displays from across
the country. This is always an inspiring and fun-filled
event. Included will be inflatable games, a Pow-Wow
coordinated by the American Indian Activities Committee, stage
performances and an opportunity to silk screen your own T-shirt
(bring a white T-shirt with you as you will not want to miss
out on this one-of-a-kind Founders Day logo opportunity).
In the evening the Shows Committee will stage their final show
to be followed by a Rededication Ceremony and a fireworks
display. All in all, Founders Day will be an exciting event
with surprises and fun for all. You will want to participate
in all segments of the program, so sign-up early.
For those interested in joining gaining experience at NOAC
staff members, the Founders Day Committee needs volunteers
to sign up as
Founders' Day Ambassadors
These volunteers will
help out throughout the day as Founders Day staff members and
receive a special recognition as a result. If you are
interested, be sure to sign up early. Only 170 volunteers are
needed and selections will be made on a first-come first-served
basis with consideration for spreading representation across as
many lodges as possible.
