The Order of the Arrow is a fraternal organization within a fraternal organization. To keep this simple the qualifications are based of the Scout Oath, Scout Law and camping. The organization was begun in 1915 and still exists today. There are handshakes and other rituals associated with it. Members of the Order of the Arrow are known as Arrowmen or Brothers. There is also a patch associated with this.
The free bonus is the Cobra Patrol Patch. Got this from a donor shirt that is falling apart. The value in the shirts are the patches. Finding a shirt with just a few simple patches like troop number and council patch can be $10 well spent. Add the rank, position and another makes $20well spent.
Got another Saturday Evening Scout post coming next week.

I went to Camp Tuckabatchee(Scout camp in our area) in summer '68. Our whole troop couldn't go all at once, so about 4 of us attended the week I went. Our Scoutmaster had went with a previous group. So we were assigned this elderly guy who didn't have a troop, but was a member of the leaders of the camp. They honored him at an OA show one night. He had joined the Scouts in the teens and had become a member of Arrow in the early 20's. He was the oldest Scout I ever talked to. He was well respected and had been active in Scouting for over 40 years. I love your Scout posts, brings back fond memories.
Thank you very much Toyrebel for adding this to my OA post. Helps explain it a bit better.
Thank you
