NOAC 2009 - BE THERE!
Hey everyone!! Below you will find some information about NOAC, and you can find more at http://event.oa-bsa.org/events/n2009/ !!!
NOAC 2009 Training is filled with plenty of new opportunities to train the Arrowmen of today and those who will be chosen to lead into tomorrow. This year our theme is
The Power of One, and the Training Committee is working to incorporate this theme into all the sessions. Here’s a taste of what we have cooking for the first-of-its-kind signature theme session for this summer’s main event:
“History proves all things of value start with one person who acts to better the world around him. You have that power, The Power of One, and this signature training session for NOAC 2009. Discover your power and your responsibility to use that power. This session will challenge you to IMAGINE how you can make a difference, BELIEVE that you have the power to effect change and learn to LEAD through SERVICE to change your life and the world around you. What is your greatest fear? Who, what, how do I impact? What makes a difference? What difference does it make? How do I succeed? What is success? What is the Power? Am I the One? Find the answers to these questions and others. Join us and discover your 'Power of One.'”
Our stride is fueled by new formats and new styles. We are moving to new session lengths and times. Participants have over 100 classes to choose from as they fill their two (2) 75-minute sessions each morning (Sunday through Tuesday) from 7 of our 8 different schools! The schools include:
• Leadership – A school on Leading those you Serve
• Nuts & Bolts – A school geared towards the basics of Lodge Operation
• Planning – A school that features courses to help you plan for everything that could come your way as leaders in the Order of the Arrow
• Service – A school aimed towards our basic purpose…cheerful service
• OA Traditions – A school providing rich OA history to the young and old
• Tools – A school providing you the items you need to fill your leadership tool box
• Vision – A school aimed to provide you with the higher purpose of the Order
Our 8th School will take place in the afternoons on Sunday and Monday. The School of Innovations will be introducing afternoon symposiums and workshops to give you hands-on experience in the new technologies and leadership methods that are continuing to shape your lodge as we speak. Features will include a Leadership Symposium, Media Blitz, The ONE Film Festival and a National Events Promotion Workshop.
In our pursuit to deliver cutting edge programs, the Training Committee is rolling out a new concept designed with ArrowCorps5 in mind. The Arrowmen Conservation School (ACS) is a new training opportunity to provide the technical and management skills needed to run a successful outdoor service project. The ACS is limited to 150 lucky participants. The school will provide youth outdoor leadership training, wilderness engineering (trail building, the 5-steps of conservation, etc.) and a very adept advising track for the adults. We are proud to support this great new opportunity that will give YOU the POWER to make difference in the nature that surrounds you back home!
Again, the Training Committee is STOKED about the great opportunities we have for you, provided by nothing short of the BEST trainers in the country. Come on down to this NOAC and discover how you can use your POWER to be the ONE to make a difference!
