New Members
The induction ceremony, called the Ordeal, is the first step toward full membership in the Order of the Arrow. The entire experience is designed to teach the significant values of the OA.
When
The Ordeal is offered on the following dates and must be completed within 1 year of your election or nomination date.
- Fall Fellowship - October 6-8, 2023
- Spring Fellowship - May 3-5, 2024
What You Need To Bring
Pack for this even like any weekend camping trip. Bring a tent, tarp, sleeping gear, rain gear, full uniform for your induction ceremony, work clothes for service projects, and work gloves. Bring a copy of your up to date BSA medical form, parts A & B.
Recently Inducted
After completing your Ordeal, you are now a member of the Order of the Arrow. Your completion of the Ordeal sets you on the path of an exciting adventure. The National Order of the Arrow has a page on their website that can help you JumpStart your adventures. You will need your OA Handbook.
