I went to do hard labor at Kia Kima, and all I got was this stinking sash and pocket flap! Surely doubts and questions this severe don't run through your mind as you try to sleep each night, but it makes sense if you are an Ordeal member to have questions about the Order; it's natural to want to know more about this mysterious and sometimes confusing organization. The best way to get this information, that is, to learn and grow as an arrowman is to seal your membership in the Order as a Brotherhood member. Becoming a brother is not that difficult, and you will benefit from the increased knowledge and inspiration the ceremony will bring you. Not only that, the Chickasah Lodge will benefit from stronger membership with every new Brotherhood member. Becoming a Brotherhood member is relatively easy. And once again this year, the Lodge is offering several opportunities to complete this key step: at the upcoming Ordeal work weekend at Kia Kima, and each Thursday night at summer camp. That way, you can choose which seems more appropriate to your summer plans. Either way, the requirements are the same. As a preliminary, you must have been an Ordeal member for at least ten months. In addition, you must meet five challenges before you enter the Circle of the Brotherhood: 1. Memorize the signs of Arrow membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of 4 •I your membership card or in your handbook) . Also, memorize the OA Official Song, the Admonition, the sign of Ordeal membership, and the Arrow handclasp. 2. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal. Gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you have passed. Become familiar with The Customs and Traditions of the Ordeal given on pages 54-56 of The OA Handbook(1991 ed.) 3. Serve your unit. Retain your registration in Scouting. During your 10m onth period , strive to fulfill your obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your own troop or post. 4. Plan for service in your Lodge. Retain your registration in the 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. Review your progress. When you earnestly feel that you have met the four challenges above, write a letter to the Lodge Secretary. In this letter: - Explain what you think the Obligation means. - Describe how you have been fulfilling this Obligation in your troop or post and in your daily life, and how you have used your understanding of the Ordeal to aid in this service. - Describe your specific plans for giving service in the lodge program . Bring this letter to the Brotherhood with you.
