Program Details

The Section Officers Seminar is a weekend conference for the exchange of ideas and best practices related to Section operations. It is intended primarily to enhance the leadership skills of the Order of the Arrow's key youth and adult members as they seek to improve their service to their section and its respective lodges.


Linen Packages

To help alleviate additional baggage costs, once again the Eastern Region is offering SOS attendees the option to purchase a linen package for the weekend for an additional $30 per person. If you would like to purchase a linen package, please select "Yes" to the linen package upon registration. Section officers and advisers will have the final cost applied to their Sections bill. Event staff members and National / Regional Committee members attending not as a part of the section contingent will need to pay the fee at registration. The linen package will include

  1. Towel
  2. Wash Cloth
  3. Twin XL Fitted Sheet
  4. Twin XL Sheet
  5. Pillow and pillow case
  6. Blanket


Optional Offsite Activity

SOS attendees may sign up to participate in an option group boat tour of the Statue of Liberty that includes a visit to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. For those who wish to participate, the fee will be approximately $25.50 per person. The fall tour schedule has not been released yet, but we anticipate meeting in the parking lot of Liberty State Park at 12:45 p.m. on Friday, October 24.

There is the possibility that the meeting time will be pushed a bit later once we have the official schedule in hand, but we are confident that the meeting time will be no later than 12:45 p.m, so we recommend arranging your travel with this in mind.
