2003 OA Service Grant Recipients
For the past several years, the National Order of the Arrow Committee has provided matching service grants for a limited number of projects submitted by application to the national OA office. A total of $35,000 was made available for distribution for projects in 2003. The evaluators considered the innovative scope and design of the project, how the project impacts a significant number of Scouts, and how the project enhances Cub Scouting or Boy Scouting in the council.

- Wiatava Lodge, Orange County Council, Costa Mesa, CA received $5,000 to renovate an old dining hall into a multi-use facility.
