New Arrowmen

We’re excited to provide a unique and memorable experience for our new Ordeal members.

What is a Very Important Arrowman (VIA)?

A Very Important Arrowman (VIA) is a new Arrowman who was inducted into the Order of the Arrow since our last conclave. As the future of our organization, we consider all new members to be Very Important Arrowmen.

Am I a VIA?

If you were inducted into the Order of the Arrow after September 2025, you are a new Arrowman and a VIA for the 2026 Section G16 Conclave.

How is conclave different for new Arrowmen?

We make the entire conclave experience special for new Arrowmen:

Special Name Badge Ribbon: New Arrowmen are identified at conclave with a special VIA ribbon to add to their name badge.
VIA Luncheon: New Arrowmen get to attend the Very Important Arrowman Luncheon, a special event just for new Arrowmen! At the event, new Arrowmen will meet a national officer and enjoy a special dessert treat. Learn more about the VIA Luncheon.
