Troop 250B – May 9th
Troop 250G – May 10th

Election for the Order of the Arrow (OA) will be held during the next Troop meeting. We will be meeting in person at Grace Presbyterian Church. Current OA members, please wear your sash.

We must have over 50% of the youth members present at the meeting to hold the election. Plan on being at the meeting to vote, no absentee ballot allowed! Bring a pen or pencil to fill out your ballot.

Voting for youth candidates will be based on their spirit of brotherhood, cheerfulness (no matter how tiresome their duties), and a willingness to give unselfish and wholehearted service to others at all times.

The Order of the Arrow is Scouting’s National Honor Society, its purpose is to:
– Recognize those who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and through that recognition cause others to conduct themselves in a way that warrants similar recognition.
– Promote camping, responsible outdoor adventure, and environmental stewardship as essential components of every – Scout’s experience, in the unit, year-round, and in summer camp.
– Develop leaders with the willingness, character, spirit and ability to advance the activities of their units, our Brotherhood, Scouting, and ultimately our nation.
– Crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.

The results of the election will remain sealed until the OA call out ceremony at summer camp.
