In addition, three Ordeal members will be returning to seal their membership as Brotherhood members in OA.

Several others will attend in support for those processing as Ordeal and Brotherhood candidates.

For those staying in the campsite, we will spend Friday night under the canopy (canopies), weather permitting.

Here is the permission slip.

The Order of the Arrow (OA) is the national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Founded in 1915, it uses American Indian traditions and ceremonies to bestow recognition on Scouts selected by their peers as best exemplifying the Scout Oath and Scout Law in their daily lives. Inducted members are known as Arrowmen or brothers and are organized into local youth-led lodges for fellowship and the rendering of service to Boy Scout councils and their communities. 

Troop 111 will be participating in the Induction weekend over 08/22/2008 – 08/24/2008.

An email invitation has been sent for those eligible to participate in the election.

If your name was not on the list, but you would like to attend for support, please call Mr. Hines.
