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!
