Training is an important part of being an arrowman. It teaches us new things and gives us new experiences we can take back to our units, our schools and our communities. Learning about the Order doesn't stop with the Ordeal, it begins there.

National Leadership Seminar

The National Leadership Seminar (NLS) is a weekend conference on the skills and attributes of leadership. It is intended primarily to enhance the leadership skills of the Order of the Arrow’s key youth and adult members as they seek to improve their services to the Boy Scouts of America and the greater community. The weekend format is designed to complement the longer, more detailed Wood Badge and Junior Leadership Training Programs. Near the end of the seminar, participants make a contract with themselves to apply the skills studied in the seminar on projects in their lodge, council, and community.
