S.H.A.C. (Scouts Helping at Camp) Corps is an opportunity for troops and crews to give back to camp in the form of a day of service. The Order of the Arrow (OA) is leading this opportunity, but this service project is open to all troops, crews and ships. Service projects could include camp maintenance, creating trails, and developing program areas. Letters will be given to youth who need school service hours.
Registration
There are three registration options. The deadline for registration is the Tuesday prior to the event.
Troop Registration: Registration is completed by the unit leader. The fees include camping. The registration fee is $20/person and includes four meals. Troops have the option to cook their own food at the campsite and only pay $3/person.
Ordeal Registration: OA Ordeal candidates attending their Ordeal during SHAC Corps should register separately at oa.shac.org/ordeals.
Individual Arrowmen Registration and Ordeal Staff: The registration fee includes camping and four meals. Each Arrowmen must complete a separate registration. Most Arrowmen who are not ceremonialist will be assigned as an Elangomat or to serve on the service team.
