Fellow Arrowmen,
I am pleased to announce that the 2010 applications for OA Trail Crew, OA
Wilderness Voyage, and OAWV: Canadian Odyssey, have been posted to the high
adventure website,
www.adventure.oa-bsa.org (
http://www.adventure.oa-bsa.org) . There will be 9 sessions of each program,
including the new Canadian Odyssey Voyage, running from early June through mid-August. The OA
Ocean Adventure program is currently being revised to give arrowmen the
opportunity to leave an even greater impact on the areas Sea Base serves, at a
lower cost to the participants. Details about the program, as well as the
application, will be available later this summer.
Each year the OA's High Adventure programs continue to grow in popularity
and have been filled to capacity for four straight years. As such we
encourage arrowmen to apply as soon as possible. For more program information
including promotional flyers, videos, participant testimonials, newsletter
articles, scholarship form templates, website banners, training syllabi and
more, visit the resources section of our website.
Many of you on this list serve in leadership capacities within your lodge
and section. I hope that I can count on all of you to help spread the news
about our 2010 application release by putting articles in your lodge &
section newsletters, posting the information and applications on your websites,
sending an email to your lodge distribution lists and using the
promotional resources our team provides at all your OA functions.
We promote OA High Adventure so vigorously because we firmly believe that
the experiences of our participants can be life changing and inspiring. At
the bottom of this email I have copied a letter we received from the
father of a past OAHA participant. I hope this letter will help show you the
power of these programs and that you will help us fill them for a fifth
straight year. Thanks for all you do.
