ArrowTour comes to Haymarket, VA - July 26th

In 1915, a Scout Leader in Pennsylvania started a movement by creating what is known as the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s National Honor Society. The Bull Run District of the National Capital Area Council is excited to announce it will celebrate the Order of the Arrow’s centennial by hosting a stop of the ArrowTour.

ArrowTour is an interactive event for Scouts, volunteers, Scouting alumni, and even future Scouts and their families that will travel throughout the country during the summer of 2015. The tour will make a stop on Sunday, July 26th at Camp William B. Snyder at 6100 Antioch Rd. in Haymarket, VA from 12pm - 6pm.

The purpose of the ArrowTour is to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Order of the Arrow, the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America. During the event, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the Order of the Arrow, its story, and its future. Some of the program highlights include interactive exhibits, activities such as silk-screening and branding, and challenge games. Participants will have a chance to meet some of the Order’s national leaders, and alumni can learn about the Scouting Alumni Association and local alumni efforts to supporting Scouting in our area.

The program will conclude with a special show that recognizes the Order’s rich history and empowers participants to help shape the organization’s future. The Order of the Arrow is creating a truly unique and interactive experience for all Scouts, volunteers, and Scouting alumni. The tour will open at 12:00pm and will conclude at 6:00pm. The event is free, however you will need to bring your own items which can be branded and silk-screened.
