It certainly wasn't open to non-members back in the day. I don't think it is now, though it's been a while since I've been to an OA induction ceremony.

The Arrow of Light ceremony is open to the entire pack and parents and the one insignia that a boy can wear on his Boy Scout uniform from Cub Scouts. . . . More trivia: A boy can only earn Arrow of Light as a Cub, he can't go back and get it later.
But wait, there's even more trivia:

Arrow of Light is one of only three awards earned as a Cub or Boy Scout that an adult Scouter can wear (in the form of a knot) on his uniform. The three are:

Arrow of Light:


Eagle:


and a Religious Award (such as God and Country):


Don't know why the religious knot shows up smaller.

(And yes, I have all three on my uniforms.)
