Ordeal Candidates
If you were called out to join the Order of the Arrow (OA) earlier this year and missed the Spring Fellowship, this upcoming event is your last opportunity to complete your Ordeal Induction. You are not an Arrowman until you have completed your Ordeal with Skyuka Lodge. Should you fail to complete your Ordeal during the Summer Ordeal, you would have to be re-elected next year in order to join the OA.
Here are more details about how to prepare for the Ordeal, read this carefully: https://www.skyukalodge.org/candidate
Brotherhood Conversion
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 OA. If you completed your Ordeal in 2023, 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 are the “Old Brothers” you may ask? The answer is any Arrowman who has already completed the Ordeal. Don’t forget about the steak dinner option on Friday night, I encourage you to purchase it and enjoy it with us.
Notes and reminders for all
– Lodge Dues: If this is the first OA event you are attending this calendar year, do not forget to pay your Lodge dues as well: https://scoutingevent.com/549-77897 (This does NOT apply to new Ordeal candidates, your dues are waived for the current calendar year.)
– Current medical form needed: Make sure to bring with you an updated copy, you will need to turn it in during check-in. It is 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, suitable spots are limited and may not be available.
