The National Order of the Arrow Endowment was created in the late 1970s to preserve and perpetuate
the history and traditions of the OA. Today, the interest earned from this endowment
provides crucial funding to such programs as the
OA Trail Crew,
the OA Wilderness
Voyage, the OA
Ocean Adventure, and popular attractions at the Boy Scout National Jamborees,
such as Scoutopia, and
Twelve Cubed, which is planned for the
2005 National Scout Jamboree.
