Update
Arrowcorps5 sites such as George Washington-Jefferson, Bridger-Teton
and Shasta-Trinity are estimated to be full based on initial
estimates council submitted by councils, but as of January 4, 2008
the sites still have space based on the number of deposits received.
Current reservation information can be
found at
here.
If you can go then don’t wait any
longer to get your AC5 application and deposit turned into the

ArrowCorps5
The Order of the Arrow has had a long-standing interest in
coordinating a national service project, utilizing the
infrastructure and leadership established over many years of success
at the Boy Scouts of America's high adventure bases. Working closely
together, the United States Forest Service and the OA have chosen
five project sites, spread across America, that will be the focus of
our combined efforts. ArrowCorps5 (pronounced Arrow Corps Five) will
provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for each participant to set
an example of leadership in service to those who treasure our
national forests.
Five thousand physically fit and able volunteers (determined by the
"Philmont Weight Limits for Backpacking & Hiking"), made up of youth
and adults, will participate. The national Order of the Arrow
committee and key sponsors will fund the projects. Participants will
pay a reasonable fee to help pay for accommodations, meals, and a
full day of recreational activities during the projects.
Additional information will be available through the National
Bulletin and National Order of the Arrow Web Site in the future.
Mark Twain National Forest will be the first of the five sites to be
featured starting in the fourth quarter of 2006 with the other four
sites following in 2007.
