2026 OA High Adventure and National Events Scholarship

Unami Lodge, One offers scholarships of up to $250 to help youth Arrowmen experience the adventure, service, and brotherhood of National Order of the Arrow High Adventure Programs (OAHA) and other national events.

The purpose of this scholarship is to enrich the Order of the Arrow experience for youth members through participation in these outstanding programs, which embody the principles of Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service. The Lodge and its leadership are committed to supporting these opportunities and providing financial assistance to youth who demonstrate dedication to the Order.

Scholarships are awarded to Arrowmen who show active service, enthusiasm, and a continuing commitment to both the Order of the Arrow and Unami Lodge, One. Recipients are expected to remain active in their unit, their chapter, and the lodge, sharing the enthusiasm and lessons gained from their experience. At the conclusion of their program, each recipient is required to submit a brief reflection about their experience for publication on the Lodge website and social media, helping to promote both the programs and the scholarship.
