For over 100 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. This recognition provides encouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long-term resident camping, developing leaders, and providing cheerful service to others. OA service, activities, adventures, and training for youth and adults are models of quality leadership development and programming that enrich, support, and help to extend Scouting to America's youth.

The Lodge and Council serve over 1,000 Scouts and Scouters of Albany, Clinton, Columbia, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Essex, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady,Washington, and Warren counties.
