Lodge Leadership Development (LLD) LLD is held during November of each year in order to train the new Lodge Officers and Committee Chairman, in addition to planning the year for the Lodge. Lodge Executive Committee Meetings The Lodge Executive Committee(LEC) meets periodically and handles the business affairs of the Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge #558.

The Chickasaw and Delta councils were in the process of merging. The fall elections were held during the fellowship at Camp Tallaha, located outside Charleston, MS, to select the new Lodge Executive Committee (LEC). It was agreed to have a balanced representation of leadership from the two merged lodges. After an arrowman from 406 was elected Lodge Chief, nominations were then limited to members of 345 for 1st Vice Chief. All the other offices were open to arrowmen from either lodge. Only the position of 2nd Vice Chief ran opposed. The event offered identically designed pocket and back patches featuring the combined totems of the Thunderbird (Chickasah) and White Panther (Koi Hatachie). After the first meeting at Camp Tallaha, the newly elected lodge officers met at the Chickasaw Council office to officially determine the new lodge totem and name. After several attempts, they selected the black bear and the name Ahoalan-Nachpikin, which means “We Who Love the Outdoors”. The new lodge was officially chartered on January 1, 1995. It was a member of Section SR-9 from 1995-1997 It was then moved to Section SR-6N where it remained from 1997-2008. With a section restructuring in 2008, the lodge came to be in its current section, Section SR-6. Initially, each district in the lodge was represented by a chapter. In August of 2000, restructuring occurred to form four chapters, each comprised of two or three districts. The chapters that made up the new lodge structure were: Macheu Machque (Great Bear), Lippoe Blaknik (Wise Flying Squirrel), Nashoba Tobhi (White Wolf in the Choctaw), Sakima Machque (Chief Bear). In 2003, with the formation of new districts, a new chapter, Okla Kamassa (Strong People) was added to the lodge structure. All of these remain currently.

As an Ordeal member, you will fall into one of the following three categories: If you have just completed your Ordeal Ceremony CONGRATULATIONS! Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge #558 is happy to have you as a Brother. Ordeal membership is only the first step that you are expected to achieve. Ten months from now, you will be eligible to participate in the Brotherhood experience. Will you be ready? There are five goals that you must meet before you are eligible to earn your Brotherhood Membership. The time to prepare for this journey is now! If you have been an Ordeal member for less than 10 months Then take a few minutes to assess where you stand in your commitment to obtaining Brotherhood. Also, check your Lodge Calendar, call your Chapter Chief, or talk to the Vice-Chief of Unit Elections and Camp Promotions, to find out when the next Brotherhood opportunity is scheduled. The Ordeal Ceremony contains some very powerful words and lessons that you must learn. These will help you understand what you will need to take the next step to Brotherhood. Review the Order of the Arrow Handbook and obtain a copy of the “Brotherhood” Information Sheet to aid you in your preparations. Your Lodge depends on its members’ support, and you can be an exciting part of its growth! If you have been an Ordeal member for more than 10 months Then contact a Lodge Officer or Adviser to discuss your Obligation and commitment to this awesome organization, the Order of the Arrow. You can continue to contribute to your Lodge and assist with its growth and future. If you feel you are not receiving necessary support from Lodge members, contact your Lodge Officers and/or Advisers for assistance. The Challenge of Brotherhood Membership You must meet five challenges before entering the Circle of Brotherhood. As an Ordeal member you have completed the first challenge. The next three require steady effort over a period of many months. The final challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you have lived up to the first four. First: Memorize the signs of the Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card and in the front of this book). Memorize the Order of the Arrow official song (printed in the front of this book), the admonition, the sign of Ordeal Membership, and the Arrow Handclasp. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal, and gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you passed. Second: Serve your unit; help them improve their camping program. Retain your registration in Scouting. During a period of at least 10 months, strive to fulfill your Obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your Troop or Crew. Third: Plan for service in your Lodge. Retain your registration in your Order of the Arrow Lodge and keep your dues paid. Be aware that acceptance of Brotherhood Membership involves a pledge of service to the Lodge. Develop a concrete idea of how you plan to fulfill this pledge. 5 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book Officers Roster The following list of officers is for your reference.

The Troop/Team Representative program was begun in 1999, and is a program of the Order of the Arrow that has been officially adopted by the Boy Scouts of America. The OA Representative is now an official leadership position within the troop or team, and boys can earn time towards their leadership rank requirements, just as with Den Chief, Troop Scribe, or any of the other leadership positions. What Are the Responsibilities of the Troop/Team Representative? There are numerous possibilities for the job description of the OA Representative. The beauty is that it is flexible enough to allow your unit to fine-tune the exact responsibilities. However, the most basic tasks of the Representative will be to coordinate service opportunities within the unit, to coordinate unit involvement with the Order of the Arrow, including Unit Elections, Camp Promotions, and Inductions, and request lodge and chapter resources to help meet unit needs. Who Can Serve as a Troop/Team Representative? Anyone in the unit who is under the age of 18 can serve as the OA Representative for the unit, provided he is a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow. He should be appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader or Varsity Team Captain, and will be a member of the Patrol Leaders’ Council and attend lodge and chapter meetings. Will There Be an Adviser for the Troop/Team Representative? As with all positions in the Order, the OA Representative should have an adult as his Adviser. This adult needs to be 21 years of age or older, a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow, and be appointed by the Scoutmaster. Does This Position Count for Rank Advancement? Scouts may use the Order of the Arrow Troop/Team Representative position to meet the leadership position requirements for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. As BSA publications are revised and updated, they will include this new position. 28 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 29 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 30 2011 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 31 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 32 2011 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book - 33 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 34 2011 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 35 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 36 2011 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 37 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin 2011 Vigil Nomination Form Return by: June 15, 2011 The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon an Arrowman.

The Chickasaw and Delta councils were in the process of merging. The fall elections were held during the fellowship at Camp Tallaha, located outside Charleston, MS, to select the new Lodge Executive Committee (LEC). It was agreed to have a balanced representation of leadership from the two merged lodges. After an arrowman from 406 was elected Lodge Chief, nominations were then limited to members of 345 for 1st Vice Chief. All the other offices were open to arrowmen from either lodge. Only the position of 2nd Vice Chief ran opposed. The event offered identically designed pocket and back patches featuring the combined totems of the Thunderbird (Chickasah) and White Panther (Koi Hatachie). After the first meeting at Camp Tallaha, the newly elected lodge officers met at the Chickasaw Council office to officially determine the new lodge totem and name. After several attempts, they selected the black bear and the name Ahoalan-Nachpikin, which means “We Who Love the Outdoors”. The new lodge was officially chartered on January 1, 1995. It was a member of Section SR-9 from 1995-1997 It was then moved to Section SR-6N where it remained from 1997-2008. With a section restructuring in 2008, the lodge came to be in its current section, Section SR-6. Initially, each district in the lodge was represented by a chapter. In August of 2000, restructuring occurred to form four chapters, each comprised of two or three districts. The chapters that made up the new lodge structure were: Macheu Machque (Great Bear), Lippoe Blaknik (Wise Flying Squirrel), Nashoba Tobhi (White Wolf in the Choctaw), Sakima Machque (Chief Bear). In 2003, with the formation of new districts, a new chapter, Okla Kamassa (Strong People) was added to the lodge structure. All of these remain currently.

There are five goals that you must meet before you are eligible to earn your Brotherhood Membership. The time to prepare for this journey is now! If you have been an Ordeal member for less than 10 months Then take a few minutes to assess where you stand in your commitment to obtaining Brotherhood. Also, check your Lodge Calendar, call your Chapter Chief, or talk to the Vice-Chief of Unit Elections and Camp Promotions, to find out when the next Brotherhood opportunity is scheduled. The Ordeal Ceremony contains some very powerful words and lessons that you must learn. These will help you understand what you will need to take the next step to Brotherhood. Review the Order of the Arrow Handbook and obtain a copy of the “Brotherhood” Information Sheet to aid you in your preparations. Your Lodge depends on its members’ support, and you can be an exciting part of its growth! If you have been an Ordeal member for more than 10 months Then contact a Lodge Officer or Adviser to discuss your Obligation and commitment to this awesome organization, the Order of the Arrow. You can continue to contribute to your Lodge and assist with its growth and future. If you feel you are not receiving necessary support from Lodge members, contact your Lodge Officers and/or Advisers for assistance. The Challenge of Brotherhood Membership You must meet five challenges before entering the Circle of Brotherhood. As an Ordeal member you have completed the first challenge. The next three require steady effort over a period of many months. The final challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you have lived up to the first four. First: Memorize the signs of the Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card and in the front of this book). Memorize the Order of the Arrow official song (printed in the front of this book), the admonition, the sign of Ordeal Membership, and the Arrow Handclasp. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal, and gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you passed. Second: Serve your unit; help them improve their camping program. Retain your registration in Scouting. During a period of at least 10 months, strive to fulfill your Obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your Troop or Crew. Third: Plan for service in your Lodge. Retain your registration in your Order of the Arrow Lodge and keep your dues paid. Be aware that acceptance of Brotherhood Membership involves a pledge of service to the Lodge. Develop a concrete idea of how you plan to fulfill this pledge. So You are a New Ordeal Member... 6 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book The following list of officers is for your reference.

The Troop/Team Representative program was begun in 1999, and is a program of the Order of the Arrow that has been officially adopted by the Boy Scouts of America. The OA Representative is now an official leadership position within the troop or team, and boys can earn time towards their leadership rank requirements, just as with Den Chief, Troop Scribe, or any of the other leadership positions. What Are the Responsibilities of the Troop/Team Representative? There are numerous possibilities for the job description of the OA Representative. The beauty is that it is flexible enough to allow your unit to fine-tune the exact responsibilities. However, the most basic tasks of the Representative will be to coordinate service opportunities within the unit, to coordinate unit involvement with the Order of the Arrow, including Unit Elections, Camp Promotions, and Inductions, and request lodge and chapter resources to help meet unit needs. Who Can Serve as a Troop/Team Representative? Anyone in the unit who is under the age of 18 can serve as the OA Representative for the unit, provided he is a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow. He should be appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader or Varsity Team Captain, and will be a member of the Patrol Leaders’ Council and attend lodge and chapter meetings. Will There Be an Adviser for the Troop/Team Representative? As with all positions in the Order, the OA Representative should have an adult as his Adviser.
