Boone Trails Order of the Arrow Neckerchief Pre-Orders

Pre-orders for Order of the Arrow, Boone Trail neckerchiefs are open again.  The cost of a neckerchief is $20.00 each.  The pre-order site will remain open until November 8th, 2019 and we will then send the order in to the vendor.

Special recognition neckerchiefs are available for youth ceremonialists.  These neckerchiefs have black piping instead of white.  See your team adviser if you are interested in purchasing one of these.

We expect to receive the neckerchiefs in mid-December and we will have them at district Roundtable meetings and Chapter meetings for delivery.
