Hank and his friends take Bobby's scout troop on a rite of passage journey in the wilderness. The point of "The Order of the Straight Arrow" is for the kids to realize that their parents are ganging up to play jokes on them, and the joke Hank and the guys choose is to put the kids through a series of fake Native American rituals. However, Bobby takes the rituals seriously, and things become very serious indeed when, on a "snipe hunt," Bobby accidentally clobbers an endangered whooping crane.moreless

    Season 1 continues with another perfect episode, in this episode, Hank and the guys take Bobby, Joseph, Randy, Garth to pass the order of the straight arrow. This episode had some more classic moments such as Wemetanya, Bobby almost cussing, here's a funsaver, take lots of pictures, peggy trying to rush hank and them to leave, bobby killing a whooping crane, taste the wind one last time bird spirit, the slim jims, and much more. In conclusion, I will give this perfect episode a.

    There was atime in which I thought things couldn't get as weird. Well, I was proven wrong. This episode was kind of silly, but also a bit weird. Hank took Bobby on this camping trip that was kind of like a boy scout thing. He made Bobby pass obstacles and wanted him to do what he did. He made up a big lie just to make Bobby go on the trip. Bobby ended up killing a rare bird, only it wasn't really dead. Overall, this episode was kind of funny, had some interesting bits and was not bad at all. Thank you.moreless

  • Wematanye this is still one of the best king of the kill episodes to date. This episode alone makes owning the season on DVD worthwhile. Wematanye.

  • Order of the Straight Arrow is easy to relate to for many guys because, well frankly, who hasn't heard about or participated in the classic "Snip Hunt" in the woods?

    "Superb"
    By TasForMayor, Sep 24, 2006
    Order of the Straight Arrow includes a much under-used characture in Eustice(dale calls him "Useless"); he failed out of the Order when he was about 11 years old. Now he's a successful patent lawyer and his son is going to become a member of the Order. Also another never before seen characture in the show appears in a scene around the campfire, he remains unexplained and unnamed to this day; a little boy with a strong resemblance to Boomhauer (same eyes, same color and texture of hair, same calm demeanor and same build). Really the sponsors of this camping trip are Hank and Dale but they take Bill and Boomhauer along for the ride. In this episode, John Redcorn gets slightly offended, Bobby believes he has become a Shaman and we gain some insight on the long-time friendship the men of Arlen have shared.moreless

    The guys are taking Bobby's scout group on a trip to earn their Order of the Straight Arrow badge. During a "snipe hunt," Booby acciedntly kills a whooping crane. Hank wants to dispose of it, but soon someone sees Bobby holding the crane and calls the Park Ranger. The ranger tracks everyone down and is about to arrest Hank, when the crane comes back to life. Hank believes it was just luck, but Bobby thinks it was Whematonya. Also, Peggy sets out to do her "to do list," but gets it done in only one day. This is a pretty good episode.moreless

It is a brotherhood of cheerful service, where scouts and scouters who enjoy camping can come together to bond, and learn from each other. The Order of the Arrow has well over one million members, including men from all walks of life.
