Brotherhood Candidates: After 6 months as an Ordeal member you may take part in the Brotherhood conversion, which places further emphasis on the ideals of Scouting and the Order. Completion of this ceremony signifies full membership in the Order of the Arrow.
If you completed your Ordeal in 2021, or before, you are eligible. Please see the Brotherhood requirements checklist here to prepare: https://troop250tegacay.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Brotherhood.pdf
Old Brothers: We need you to register as well and come support our Lodge! Who qualifies as an “Old Brother?” Any Arrowman who has already completed the Ordeal (including current Ordeals not eligible for Brotherhood yet).
Steak dinner option on Friday night: I encourage you to purchase it and enjoy it with us. Ordeal candidates are NOT eligible for the steak dinner.
Notes and reminders:
- Lodge Dues: If this is the first OA event you are attending this calendar year, don’t forget to pay your Lodge dues as well: https://scoutingevent.com/549-54106 (This does NOT apply to new Ordeal candidates, dues are waived for the current calendar year.)
- Current medical form needed: Make sure to bring a current copy with you, you will need to turn it in during check-in. It’s also highly recommended to keep a personal copy in your day pack at all times.
- Pack your tent: There are no permanent camping facilities on site, you will need to use your own personal tent. Hammocks are not recommended as suitable spots are very limited and may not be available.
If you have any questions please get in touch with the OA Representatives of the troops or feel free to contact me.
