Northeast Region, Order of the Arrow

National Leadership Seminar (NLS) – these three words can hardly explain the experience that participants enjoy at a NLS. If you have gone through the seminar already, you may remember the fellowship with fellow Brothers in the region as well as the professional and friendly staff that worked with you. To be asked to serve on NLS staff is an honor and privilege; indeed, one must set the example in order to be a good leader (a lesson taught throughout NLS).  The Northeast Region is dedicated to providing the best NLS experience to our guests, and recently hosted a Train-the-Trainer weekend for potential NLS staff members! History was made during the weekend, as this region-based event was the first in the history of the Northeast.

The Northeast Region is thrilled to announce that we have surpassed our $35,000 goal and now have raised over $37,000! With the addtion of $15,000 from the Northeast Region Committee and $5,000 from the OA National Committee, our grand total has soared past $57,000! Grant applications are currently being reviewed and reciepients will be annouced at the Northeast Region Board Meeting to be held on March 8th.

On behalf of all involved in this project, THANK YOU! We truely could not have been sucessful without your immense support and generosity. For those who would still like to support the fund, patches are still available and donations are still being accepted. To learn more about the Northeast Region Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund, click here.

Arrowmen of the Northeast Region,

Thank you to everyone that has supported me so far in my scouting career and aided in my success. I wish to share my enthusiasm and love for The Order of the Arrow with all brothers in the Northeast Region this year.

During my term as your 2013 Northeast Region Chief I will strive to accomplish a number of monumental and beneficial achievements, so that our region may strengthen and evolve. I have developed five goals that will be accomplished with assistance from all members of our region.
