OA Elections
Please have your OA Unit Representative schedule an election with our election teams using the North Shore OA link on the website: https://sites.google.com/site/oatonkawanorthshore/electionceremony-request?authuser=0
To be eligible for OA, youth must be First Class or Discovery, have at least 15 camping nights over the last 2 years with 5 nights from a long-term camp and at least 10 nights from weekend camping, and Scoutmaster or Crew Advisor recommendation. During an election, adults may also be nominated if they meet the camping night requirement and the unit has elected youth members.
