The Order of the Arrow uses two main systems for the coordination of Lodges and Events. These systems are LodgeMaster and the National Order of the Arrow Event Registration System (NOAERS). Every Arrowman should have a LodgeMaster account. This page provides guidelines on how to receive a LodgeMaster account and how to register for events through NOAERS can be found below. Lenape Lodge also uses Slack, a system that allows Arrowmen to communicate through channels. You can find more information below.

Slack

Slack is the primary communication platform for our Order of the Arrow lodge, facilitating general communication and collaboration among all members. Each committee within the lodge has its own dedicated channel, allowing for organized discussions and project coordination. Slack is available to all lodge members, and it is highly recommended that every Arrowman create an account to stay informed and actively engaged with lodge activities. By using Slack, we ensure smooth, efficient communication across all lodge events, meetings, and service opportunities.

To claim your Slack account, go to the Technology Support Request Form, and select “Slack Account Request.” You will then receive an invitation to Slack within 3-5 days. LodgeMaster
