=== Training ===
In addition to training courses available at a NOAC or section conclave, the OA offers specialized leadership training as weekend events for members: Lodge Leadership Development (LLD), National Leadership Seminars (NLS), and National Lodge Adviser Training Seminar (NLATS). LLD is a one-day or two-day event conducted by a lodge to train their officers and advisers. NLS's are conducted by regions for lodge officers and advisers. Many lodges send key officers to receive training. Typically, each region schedules three or four NLS weekends annually, at geographically dispersed locations within the region. NLATS is a training event for adults, usually held in conjunction with an NLS and conducted by regions, on the role of advisers in the OA.<ref>{{Cite web |title=OA Training Central |url=http://training.oa-bsa.org/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130403104824/http://training.oa-bsa.org/ |archive-date=April 3, 2013 |access-date=March 5, 2013 |publisher=Order of the Arrow, Boy Scouts of America}}</ref>

Largely considered the adult equivalent of the NLS program, NLATS's primary objective was to provide advanced training to adults in each lodge. NLATS and NLS usually happened concurrently on the same weekend. The events were planned and executed by a staff of adults. After successful pilots in 2016, the Developing Youth Leadership Conference curriculum began replacing NLATS in early 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |first=Chuck |last=Coutteau |title=Developing Youth Leaders Conference |url=http://www.oa-bsa.org/pages/content/developing-youth-leadership-conference-info |publisher=Order of the Arrow |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170211080652/http://www.oa-bsa.org/pages/content/developing-youth-leadership-conference-info |archive-date=February 11, 2017 |access-date=February 9, 2017}}</ref>
