2006 SPRING ORDEAL’S ARE HERE! 

Ordeals 2006

Congratulations on being elected as a candidate for membership into the Order of the Arrow. In most organizations, those who are already a part of the group select new members. However, with the OA, your peers, many of whom may not be OA members, selected you. They saw a quality inside of you that you might not be aware of, and they have faith in you and how you live the Scout Oath and Law. Do not fail them

Having been elected (youth) or selected (adult) and properly called out you are now ready to continue with the inductions process to become a member in the Lodge and the Order of the Arrow.

There is only one step left:  Attend an Ordeal within one year of the unit election date.

The Ordeal:

What is the Ordeal?

The Ordeal is a weekend experience in which those elected or selected learn about the customs and traditions of the Order of the Arrow and undertake a spiritual journey to discover the true meanings of leadership, service and the Brotherhood of Scouting. You might think that this sounds like a lot to do. It is, but we have faith that you can do it. This weekend will test not only your physical strength, but your inner strength as well.

What weekends can I go through my Ordeal?

The Lodge conducts weekends in May, June, and November in which you can go through your Ordeal. These are held at the Council's three camps. Woodruff Scout Reservation, May 5-7, 2006, Bert Adams Scout Reservation, May 19-21, 2006 & June 7-8, 2006 (held during summer camp) , and a Make-up Ordeal at Camp Allatoona Aquatics Base, November 3-5, 2006.

How do I register?

To register for an Ordeal please download, complete, and mail to the Council Volunteer Service Center the 2006 Ordeal Registration Form.

Please register by the deadline in order to attend the Ordeal weekend - A lot of work is done in preparation for the event and there is no such thing as a late registration for Ordeal candidates, walkins are not accepted. See the registration form or the event calendar above for deadline dates.

What do I need to do?
