The National Order of the Arrow conference was awesome, and I think that everyone who went will gladly agree with me. This year’s NOAC was in Bloomington, Indiana, at Indiana University.

The theme at this year's NOAC was the Power of One. With over 7,000 guests attending, the lodge met a lot of new people from across the country. Our lodge had 12 guests in our contingent and 15 members on staff. The contingent drove up the day before and visited the Louisville Slugger Museum. 

Once we got to IU, there were great training opportunities as well as plenty of patch trading and fellowship. There were a total of four fully produced shows in an arena stadium and they were amazing! The weather was all in all, not bad. 

The next NOAC will be in 2012 at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. I strongly suggest that if anyone that is even slightly interested that they sign up for it in two years. It will be one of the best experiences you will have in your OA career. See you there!
