Where to get
The past 4+ years we have ordered the 25" agate tip arrows from:
www.arrow-of-light-awards.com.
The pack does reimburse the cost of the arrows.
How to paint
The template for painting the scouts achievements:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1iRbi0cZisdH1_abQMo9KSkOEkGx9TqWciwaKHh644kE/edit?usp=sharing
(replace "arrow points" with number of adventures for each rank)
There are jigs to help, ask the previous year leaders for them.
- Sand the arrow first using a fine sandpaper (120 or 240 grit).
- 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. - Sand again after the multipurpose sealer dries.
- Apply paint with paint pens.
For those colors that are not available with paint pens, use the Testors "model car" paints available at Michaels. - Pin stripping works best for a line between colors, but it can be expensive.
The alternative is black paint with a steady hand.
