The Order of the Arrow (OA) is the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America. The society was created in 1915 as a means of reinforcing the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. Scouts are elected by their peers as those best exemplifying the ideals of Scouting. The OA promotes Scouting ideals, especially selfless leadership and service to others, as lifelong values. OA also encourages continued participation in Scouting and camping. 

• The Arrowmen within the Daniel Boone Council belong to the Tsali Lodge.

• In order to be eligible for election, a Scout must be a rank of “first-class” and have completed 15 days of camping over the past two years. The 15 days and nights must include one, but no more than one, long-term camping experience consisting of six consecutive days and five nights of resident camping.

• The induction process, called the Ordeal, is the first step toward full membership in the OA. Upon completion of the Ordeal and its ceremony, the member is expected to strengthen his involvement in the unit and encourage Scout camping.

•  After 10 months of service as an Ordeal member and after fulfilling certain requirements, a member may take part in the Brotherhood ceremony, which places further emphasis on the ideals of Scouting and the Order. Completion of this ceremony signifies full membership in the Order of the Arrow.

• After two years of exceptional service as a Brotherhood member, and with the approval of the national Order of the Arrow committee, an Arrowman may be recognized with the Vigil Honor for their distinguished contributions to their lodge, the Order of the Arrow, Scouting, or their Scout camp. This honor is bestowed by special selection and is limited to one Arrowman for every 50 members registered with the lodge each year.
