Since the founding of the Order of the Arrow over ninety years ago Arrowmen have
been busy incorporating the principles of brotherhood, cheerfulness and service
into their daily lives. In the summer of 2007, over 2,000 Arrowmen from every
lodge will join together for the first ever National Conservation and
Leadership Summit (NCLS).
The NCLS will be the first summit-type event held since the National Leadership
Summit of 1999 at Colorado State University. July 28 through August 1, 2007 are
the dates for this marquee event; the NCLS will be held on the campus of
Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.
The summit has been designed for the key three of each lodge with two other
lodge representatives (and two other lodge leaders), this will be an
opportunity for leadership from lodges across the nation to come together to
learn, educate, and have fellowship with one another. At the NCLS, the third
strategic plan (2008-2012): Living the Legacy, which has been designed by the
national Order of the Arrow committee, will be unveiled to those in attendance.
During the course of this event lodge leaders will have the opportunity to
participate in workshops that will coach lodges in implementing the strategic
plan. The strategic plan has been designed to assist lodges in creating a more
powerful link between the local council and lodge. Much of the ideology
revolving the new strategic plan will build on the predecessor plan, 2003-2007:
A Legacy of Servant Leadership.
All lodge Key 3 members should plan on attending as the summit will lay the
foundation for the next four years of the Order of the Arrow. Not only will
there be plenty of information available but it will also provide a forum for
lodges to exchange ideas throughout the event.
Join the Order of the Arrow and strengthen the ties of brotherhood by
participating in the 2007 National Conservation and Leadership Summit. See you
in Indiana!
