===High Adventure=== [[File:Voyage foremen.jpg|thumb|150px|Two Arrowmen working on a trail in the [[Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness]].]] The Order of the Arrow sponsors service groups to the four National High Adventure Bases that focus on conservation. Inspired by three gentlemen, Edward Pease, Eugene "Gene" Schnell and Marty Tschetter, who gathered at a leadership summit at Philmont Scout Ranch in 1979, the Order of the Arrow High Adventure program was established. It originally started with the Order of the Arrow Trail Crew at the [[Philmont Scout Ranch]] working to build new trails and repair old ones. This expanded to the [[Northern Tier National High Adventure Bases]] with the OA Wilderness Voyage, repairing the portage trails in the [[Boundary Waters Canoe Area]], and then to [[Florida National High Adventure Sea Base]] in 2005 with Ocean Adventure, which works to remove invasive species on some of the Keys and promoting and carrying out of the Bleach watch program in the [[Florida Keys]]. After the addition of the third High Adventure Base, the Order of the Arrow implemented the OA Triple Crown Award in the summer of 2009, the OA began the OA Canadian Odyssey program which provided service similar to the OA Wilderness Voyage to the [[Quetico Provincial Park]]. In 2014, [[The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve]] began hosting the Order of the Arrow Summit Experience<ref>[http://www.oa-bsa.org/pages/content/high-adventure-series-oa-summit-experience High Adventure Service: OA Summit Experience] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160406192204/http://www.oa-bsa.org/pages/content/high-adventure-series-oa-summit-experience |date=April 6, 2016 }} Retrieved August 5, 2016</ref> which gives service to the [[New River Gorge National River]].
