Cardinal Conclave is the most hype event of the year. In April, a thousand Arrowmen from all across North Carolina will gather for a weekend of fellowship, training, and competition. Highlights of the weekend include OAX, in which dozens of exhibitors set up booths throughout the camp, Quest, where all the lodges compete in games, and the nightly shows. You do not want to miss this weekend full of lifelong friends and memories, endless opportunities and fun, and valuable insight and learning gained from experienced members of the OA. The cost for Conclave has a base price of $50, but lodges may include additional fees for travel, merch, etc. For more information, check out the “Cardinal Conclave” page or contact your lodge delegation leader/any member of the Section Team. We hope to see you there!

The Order of the Arrow eXperience (OAX) at the annual Cardinal Conclave allows over a thousand E8 Arrowmen the chance to “Spark Your Future” with diverse, high-impact training. Set up like a dynamic exhibit hall, OAX offers a wide range of hands-on exhibits focusing on personal skills and hobbies, such as wilderness first aid, public speaking, and leadership principles, promoting exploration and development. Crucially, the program also includes specialized training sessions tailored to individual lodge needs, helping leadership teams solve specific issues like membership retention or leadership conflict. By combining broad personal enrichment with targeted, lodge-focused tools, OAX ensures attendees gain the practical skills needed to be effective leaders back home.
