Purpose

The Northeast Region exists for many purposes, including the promotion of the Order of the Arrow and its goals within the region. The Region also assists in promoting and coordinating National events such as the Philmont Trail Crew, OA Wilderness Voyage, and the National Order of the Arrow Conference. Beyond general administration, the Northeast Region, under the leadership of the Region Chief, runs three National Leadership Seminars (NLS), two Developing Youth Leadership Conferences (DYLC), and one Section Officer Seminar (SOS) annually.  The Northeast Region Order of the Arrow program is run under the direction of the Region Chief, who is advised by a volunteer, the Region Chairman, and a professional Scouter, the Region Staff Adviser, much like every level in the Order of the Arrow program including the lodge.
