Check out the new National Order of the Arrow "OA Training Central" at www.training.oa-bsa.org. This site provides an excellent resource to those wanting to provide training to your chapter or lodge. OA Training Central also contains all the content that was presented at the 2006 NOAC during the training cells. You can download the PowerPoint presentations, handouts, and all other materials that were given out or discussed at the previous NOAC.
Don’t forget that the Central Region will be hosting a National Leadership Seminar (NLS) and National Lodge Adviser Training Seminar. NLS and NLATS is a weekend training offered at the region level. These seminars explore the "skills and attributes of leadership".
The weekend format is designed to complement the longer, more detailed Wood Badge and National Youth Leadership Training Programs. Near the end of the seminar, participants make a contract with themselves to apply the skills studied in the seminar on projects in their lodge, council, and community." Be sure to take part in the upcoming NLS and NLATS. The next NLS and NLATS offered in the Central Region will be February 22-24, 2008 at the Geneva Center in Rochester, IN.
