The Section E20 Pathfinders’ Scholarship program was created to give Arrowmen from across the Section an equal opportunity to attend Section and National events at a reduced price or for free on the basis of service to scouting and the OA, with consideration of future Scouting plans and financial need.
This program is funded by selling a limited edition patch at the Section Trading Post (as shown below) for $25. All sales of this patch go directly to the scholarship helping our Arrowmen.
For an Arrowmen to be eligible to apply, they must meet the following requirements:
- Is a youth under the age of 21, and will be under the age of 21 for the entirety of the event they plan to attend.

- Is not one of the Section Scholarship Committee Members.
- Plans to attend the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) 2027 OR Order of the Arrow High Adventure (OAHA) 2027.
