The National Order of the Arrow Committee has selected the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as the host site for the 2027 National Order of the Arrow Conference.

From July 26–31, 2027, up to 8,000 Arrowmen from across the nation will gather for six days of leadership, fellowship, service, adventure, and celebration on one of the country's premier university campuses.

For the Order of the Arrow, Illinois is more than just an outstanding venue - it is part of our history.

NOAC 2027 marks the third time the conference has been hosted at the University of Illinois. Previous conferences were held here in 1963, when more than 3,100 Arrowmen gathered under the theme Catch the Higher Vision, and again in 1971, when the university welcomed a record-setting 5,100 delegates under the theme Aim High, Serve All.

More than half a century later, a new generation of Arrowmen will return to the same campus to write the next chapter in the history of the National Order of the Arrow Conference.

With modern residence halls, world-class facilities, an iconic arena, and a walkable campus designed for connection and exploration, the University of Illinois provides an exceptional setting for NOAC 2027 - and an opportunity to build on a legacy that spans generations.

We look forward to welcoming Arrowmen from across the country back to a place that has helped shape the history of our organization.
