 Scoutreach
Mentoring
The Order of Arrow Scoutreach Mentoring Program is a joint effort of the national
Scoutreach Division of the Boy Scouts of America and the Order of the Arrow.
Its purpose is to identify and assist urban and rural Scout troops whose camping
and advancement programs are below standard. The program has many goals and
functions as described below:
- To act as a positive influence in the midst of dramatic social, political,
economic, and demographic forces affecting urban and rural communities.
- To increase advancement and camping opportunities for Scouts in urban and
rural troops whose programs, leadership, and resources are limited.
- To provide additional, positive youth and adult role models for disadvantaged
urban and rural Scouts and adult leaders.
- To create a "guided discovery" for Order of the Arrow members
to reflect on the ideal of "He alone is worthy to wear the arrow who
will continue faithfully to serve his fellow man."
- To fulfill the Order of the Arrow Strategic Plan.
- To create the opportunity for more urban and rural Scouts to become eligible
for membership in the Order of the Arrow.
