Take a look at this exclusive question and answer interview with Pennacook Lodge’s Ordeal Management Chairman Aidan Hanna and a contingent member of the 2018 National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC)!
Q: After attending your first NOAC in 2018, how did it live up to your expectations?
A: NOAC lived up to its expectations and more. I love the learning experiences it gave me, I will always use them in scouting and in my life.
Q: How would you rate the NOAC trip among other scouting experiences?
A: From going to West Point to going to Mass Jam, NOAC has its own special style that anyone can enjoy. NOAC 2018 was one of the best scouting trips I have ever been on.
Q: How much fun was NOAC?
A: NOAC was a ton of fun. There were so many different things to do every day. Nothing was really forced on you, and you could participate in whichever activities you wanted.
Q: What did you learn and take away from attending NOAC? How does it help you in the lodge today?
A: I went to many leadership trainings that helped me focus, improve my skills, and become a better leader. The best part is you can choose which trainings you want to attend.
Q: What reason would you give other Arrowmen to attend NOAC 2020 this summer?
A: If anybody has not gone to NOAC, I would strongly recommend attending this trip. From the side trips to events at NOAC, you will have a blast. NOAC 2020 will be the experience of a lifetime.
