National Order of the Arrow Conference

The National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) is the premier event of the Order of the Arrow and is Scouting's second-largest national event. Over 8,000 Arrowmen from across our nation gather for an inspirational and unforgettable experience full of fellowship, training, adventure, and fun!

Join thousands of Arrowmen from across the country for the OA’s largest event!

During NOAC, Arrowmen will participate in a five-day conference that includes top-notch training sessions, cool recreational opportunities, evening shows full of theatrics and special effects, and exciting programs.

Arrowmen can attend with the lodge contingent or as a staff member supporting the thousands of Arrowmen attending the conference. #NOAC2022 #KNOXROCKS

NOAC Refund Policy

The Sam Houston Area Council refund policy (including #8) applies.
