This book is intended only for the elected members of the Order of the Arrow (OA), a Boy Scout supported program for the promotion of camping and service to others. As a handbook it provides precious little information to members about what is expected of them and what they can expect from the OA. For example, it does not tell you how long it takes or what is involved in reaching the various levels of membership. It also does not share any of the "privileged" information for OA members. My suggestion is that unless you're a ownership freak, save your money and borrow a copy from a Boy Scout troop library.
