Now that the ties of Brotherhood are upon you, what’s next?

✔ Get into your chapter/lodge activity weekends!

  • Inductions Weekend – In the South, this is done during the winter. Up North, it may be done in warmer times of the year, including at Summer Camp.
  • Spring Conclave – Let’s have fun.
  • Service Weekend – Let’s help camp get ready for summer and have fun doing it.
  • Fall Fellowship – Let’s have fun.
  • Section Conference – A group of lodges in your area having fun.
  • NOAC – All the lodges in the nation having fun.

✔ Work with your Troops/Crew OA Representative. • Find a place to help out in your chapter.

  • Ceremonies Team – Lots of ceremonies to perform. Principals, regalia, etc.
  • Drum Team – Keep the beat and feel the spirit. Drummers, Dancers, etc.
  • Spirit Team – Always need help with planning upcoming events.
  • Elections Team – Helping others to look for their arrow.
  • Leadership Team – Lots of positions to fill. Chapter Chief, Assistant CC, Treasurer, Historian, Elingomats, etc. 

✔ Adults brothers can help give leadership to the chapter and lodge teams. Typically if you are not the chapter advisor you're an associate advisor of some capacity.

✔ Youth brothers in the spirit of the OA should strive to achieve the highest scouting rank.

✔ Remember Troop/Crew service comes before Chapter or Lodge.
