DULUTH, MN – On December 9, 2009 the Order of the Arrow received an Eastern Region 9 Honor Award from the U.S. Forest Service for the Wilderness Voyage High Adventure program contributing service to the Superior National Forest. The award is presented annually showcasing the outstanding accomplishments of dedicated employees, retirees, and private citizens. The award is presented in ten categories including: Natural Resources Leadership and Stewardship, Multicultural Organization, Volunteers National Program, Outstanding Customer Service, and Safety and Occupational Health.
Based in Charles L. Sommer’s Boy Scout Canoe Base near Ely, MN, the Order of the Arrow’s Wilderness 3 Voyage program contributes the equivalent of roughly $150,000 in portage and trail work each year. The efforts of Arrowmen help maintain and preserve portage and hiking trails within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
During the OA Voyage program, Arrowmen spend one week working on portage rehabilitation and one week traveling the Boundary Waters. Arrowmen receive instruction and practice wilderness skills such as Leave No Trace as well as learn history about the area. Since inception, more than 750 Arrowmen have participated in the OA Voyage program.
