The past 4+ years we have ordered the 25" agate tip arrows from:
www.arrow-of-light-awards.com.

The pack does reimbuse the cost of the arrows.

The template for painting the scouts achievements:

(replace "arrow points" with number of adventures for each rank)

There are jigs to help, ask the previous year leaders for them.

  1.  Sand the arrow first using a fine sandpaper (120 or 240 grit).
  2.  Apply a multipurpose sealer to the arrow.  You can get a multipurpose sealer at Michaels.  
    It looks like watered down milk, but does the job of sealing the wood grain and provides a smooth surface for painting.
  3. Sand again after the multipurpose sealer dries.
  4. Apply paint with paint pens.  
    ​​​​​​​For those colors that are not available with paint pens, use the Testors "model car" paints available at Michaels.
  5. Pin stripping works best for a line between colors, but it can be expensive.  
    The alternative is black paint with a steady hand.
