What should you know in your OA ordeal?

Best Answer

The Scout is supposed to find out what the ordeal is at the ordeal. Thus, people who talk to the scout about it are doing him a disservice and are not showing good scout spirit. The scout is not told the details of the ordeal because this helps him live the experience in the moment and thus get more out of it. Anything he needs to know about its meaning that he doesn't get while doing it will be explained during or after the ordeal. As the name suggests, the ordeal is supposed to be a time of relative hardship and testing. However, one requirement to get to do the ordeal in the first place is the scoutmaster's approval. This fact should allay any fears of the unknown on the part of scouts and parents. Also, if requested, parents can come out and observe, though they may not participate unless they too are tapped out as ordeal candidates.

Order of the arrow brother hood?

The Order of the Arrow (OA) is Scouting's National Honor Society. Scouts are elected by their troop to join the OA if they have had fifteen nights of camping within the past two years and are First Class rank or above.Once elected to join the OA, the candidate goes through a camping weekend called the Ordeal, and in doing so becomes a member of the OA.There are three 'honors' in the OA:Ordeal Member - A scout who has completed their Ordeal. They receive a white sash with a red arrow.Brotherhood Member - A scout who, having been an Ordeal Member for at least ten months, has completed their Brotherhood Ordeal. They receive the same sash as before only with a red bar at each end of the arrow.Vigil Member - A scout who, having been Brotherhood for at least two years and provided outstanding service to the Scouting movement, has been nominated by the Lodge Vigil Committee, and then completes his Vigil Ordeal. He receives the Brotherhood sash with a special triangle design in the middle of the arrow.In the OA, the term brotherhood can also refer to the OA as a whole. This is referred to by the Lenni Lenape word for brotherhood, Wimachtendienk.
