For those elected as candidates to the OA: your next step is to attend what is called an Ordeal, the induction experience for the Order of the Arrow. At the Ordeal weekend, you will have a chance to prove your courage and self-reliance; listen to your inner thoughts; serve your fellow human cheerfully; and prove your ability to live the Scout Oath and Law.
The Order is shrouded in mystery. We closely safeguard our ceremonies and traditions. This does not mean that you cannot talk to your parents about what happens. In fact, we encourage it, as it will help you to gain a better understanding. We do, however, ask that you not discuss it with your friends who might become members themselves one day. You would ruin the experience for them.
This is the next available induction date – being held at Treasure Valley Scout Reservation.
