Operation Arrow, our national program of emphasis, is the Order of the Arrow’s service and program team at the 2026 National Jamboree. This incredible opportunity brings together hundreds of Arrowmen from across the country to support one of Scouting’s largest events. Arrowmen serving on Operation Arrow help make the Jamboree possible by assisting with program operations, supporting Jamboree staff, guiding contingents, and helping run OA program areas.
Operation Arrow will take place July 19–31, 2026, at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in the Glen Jean Mountains of West Virginia. Participants may serve on the OA Service Corps, which provides essential support across the jamboree, or help deliver exciting OA programs like the Summit Circle Experience, OA Legacy Experience and more!
Operation Arrow is open to Arrowmen age 16 and older, and it is one of the most affordable ways to attend the National Jamboree while serving alongside Arrowmen from across the nation. Beyond service, participants will also have opportunities to experience jamboree activities and build lifelong friendships through cheerful service.
