May 7, 1991

Dear Brother:

Greetings from O.A. Land! The next Ordeal and Broth
erhood will be held at Kia Kima Scout Reservation
near Hardy , Arkansas, on June 7, 8, and 9, 1991.
All members are encouraged to attend the Ordeal to
make a good impression on the candidates and to show
them the new spirit of the Chickasah Lodge . As
well, your service that weekend will greatly aid the lodge
in fulfilling its service to the council in preparing
Kia Kima for the hundreds of campers who will attend
camp this summer. Finally, if you have been an
Ordeal member for more than ten months, you may
participate in the Brotherhood Ceremony offered that
weekend . Youth members are also eligible to serve
as Elangomats, or friends , to the candidates as they
undergo the Ordeal. Please indicate your interest in
this program on the enclosed form .
All members eligible for Brotherhood membership
should read the enclosed notice. This summer , the
Brotherhood Ceremony will be held on the Ordeal weeke
nd and each Thursday at camp. As The Order of
the Arrow Handbook explains, beco ming a Broth
erhoo d mem ber is the natur al way to seal
your mem bersh ip in the Orde r.
Broth erho od mem bersh ip is for all Arrow men
who
belie ve in the princ iples of the Orde r and want
to learn and grow more . Please take the
time to participate in the Ceremo11y while at CarrtR with
your troop, as an individual participant by coming up
· Orie Thursday, or on the Ordeal weekend. See the
handout for registration and fee information.
Back to the Ordeal weekend. Everyone should bring
work gloves, work clothes, extra clothes, rain gear,
Scout uniform (make sure you have one for Satur
day night), sleeping bag, ground sheet and/or tent,
flashlight, and any other necessities . The fee for the
weekend should be submitted with the registration
form to the council office by May 31 for the $10.00
price, or a late fee of $2.00 will be added. This fee
includes all meals Saturday, breakfast on Sunday, and
insurance. The Brotherhood fee is $20.00, with a
late charge of $3.00 , which also includes sash. Check
-in will be from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Friday at
the Administration Building, and the weekend's event
s wiii end by 10:00 a.m., Sunday.
We hope you become a part of the lodge's exciting
summer program , whether by attending the Ordeal,
going to Kia Kima, becoming a Brotherhood memb
er at Kia Kima, or enjoying the August fellowship--or
even better, all of the above. The Chickasah Lodge
's new strength has been evidenced by the
outstanding participation and performance in the Natio
nal Conference, the Section Conclave, and the
camp promotion assault--a spirit we can build on
to better serve the troops of the council. Come
experience the new lodge--seek the knowledge ; share
the spirit! That's O.A.S .P.--Order of the Arrow
Summer Program . See you at Kia Kima!
