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.

How can you count merit increase?
Merit increases are based on performance and stability. Merit increases are also provided when you give 110% of yourself when on the job. Are you always doing what is needed and not on your job performance? Do you follow up and finalize matters? Are you a real team player? Do your organization and leadership skills make your supervisor's job easier? Are you able to take charge in lack of a supervisor? Do you use good judgment when making decisions?
A merit increase is a reward for going the extra mile, not for giving 100% when on the job or showing up to work everyday; that is expected of you.

Do you have to do Scout badges with Scouts?
No, there is no requirement to do badges.
In fact, no merit badges are required for the first 4 ranks. If one enjoys being a scout but does not wish to progress any further in rank than First Class he can just enjoy the program and not earn any badges. Some badges are typically earned as part of the scouting activities so a scout who is participating regularly would probably not have to do a badge in his own until fairly high in the program.

If you have committed a crime can you be a Scout or a Scout leader?
Category:Boy Scouts of America
When you fill out the BSA application, it will ask if you have committed a crime. The unit committee and the chartering organization will review the application, then it will go to the local council for a background check. If you lied on the application they will find out. If you committed a crime against a youth or a violent crime, then you will probably not be admitted. Any other determination will be be made by the unit committee and the chartering organization.
If you are a Scout and commit a crime, then the unit leadership will determine whether you can retain your membership.

Another idea would be to ask at the church you plan to help. They probably have a good idea where to get such things.
