ArrowCorps5

General Information
The Order of the Arrow and the U.S. Forest Service are joining together to create a national program titled ArrowCorps5. ArrowCorps5 is a chance for Arrowmen to serve in five different U.S. National Forests across the United States. Each site will be offered for one week during the summer of 2008, and each site will conduct a different service project. Visit http:www.event.oa-bsa.org for more detailed information about sites, national forests, service projects, dates, and recreational activities.

What it is:

* ArrowCorps5, pronounced (arrow core five), will be the largest service project ever undertaken by the Boy Scouts of America.

Who should attend:

* Arrowmen over age 14 that meet Philmont Height and Weight Requirements can participate in the program at any site. Philmont Height and Weight Requirements will be strictly enforced due to the nature of the activities, and to ensure the safety of participants.
* Arrowmen over age 18 can participate as staff
* Some Arrowmen over age 16 can participate as staff in a limited capacity as Assistant Squad Leaders.

Where/When:

* Mark Twain National Forest: Missouri, June 7-14, 2008
* Manti-La Sal National Forest: Utah, June 14-21, 2008
* George Washington & Jefferson National Forests: Virginia, June 21-28, 2008
* Shasta-Trinity National Forest: California, July 12-19, 2008
* Bridger-Teton National Forest: Wyoming, July 26 - August 2, 2008

Why:

* This will be the largest OA service project in history, making history not only for the Boy Scouts but also with the National Forest Service.
* A huge service will be provided to the environment, helping to preserve these national treasures for years to come.
* The service opportunities are in some of the most beautiful and pristine wilderness in the United States
* Recreational opportunities will be fun and adventurous
* Service hours count toward the lodge, council, and boy scout rank advancement service requirements
* Attending ArrowCorps5 is now a part of quality lodge requirements.

How:

* A deposit of $100 per site should be given to your lodge contingent adviser as soon as possible.
* Councils will send in deposits and reserve spaces at all sites their members wish to attend. Contingent coordinators will receive additional information about the registration process after sending in their deposits.
* All forms, registration materials, and promotional materials will be available on the National Events Website: http://event.oa-bsa.org.
* Sign up for the National Events Email List off the event website to receive the latest national event information.

HOW MUCH IS IT?

* The cost for the event is $250. The fee covers food, activities, and insurance—but not transportation. We will assemble and submit a $100 nonrefundable deposit per participant, per site by February 1, 2008. Remaining fees are due by May 1, 2008. Transportation fees should be minimal, and will be determined later.

Project Description:

* The project consists of several elements of work on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), feeder trails to the PCT, illegal dump site clean-up, and fuel reduction. The purpose of the project is to provide much needed assistance to the national forest with trail maintenance and clean-up that otherwise would not be done. The projects require a range of abilities that should be sufficient to provide all participants with a satisfying experience, while rendering a service to the forest and future visitors.
* In addition to the trail work, other projects have been identified. Two of the projects will involve the removal of illegally dumped materials in the forest, normally adjacent to accessible roads, within a five miles radius of the towns of Mt. Shasta and Weed.
* Presently there are 6 crews anticipated for the week long project to clean-up the majority of the sites.

Recreation:

* Many recreational opportunities will be available to participants in this beautiful environment. Water activities will be available, as well as many diverse hiking trips throughout the area. More recreational opportunities will be available and released soon.

Transportation:

* The lodge will arrange transportation to Shasta-Trinity for attending members. Cost will be determined by the mode chosen by the attendees.
