Remember OA's Purpose?
To recognize campers who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in
their daily lives and, by such recognition, cause others to conduct
themselves in such a manner as to warrant recognition.
To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit.
To promote Scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness
as part of the unit’s overall program.
To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose
of leadership in cheerful service to others.
