2023 OA Ordeals
Event Details
| NOTE: Given the recent rise in food costs, food for those that do not pre-register and "walk in" will NOT be guaranteed. Therefore, please, be sure to register ahead of time so we can plan for your attendance and accommodate any potential food allergies or dietary restrictions! |
The induction weekend, called the Ordeal, is the first step toward full membership in the Order of the Arrow—the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America. All candidates for membership must complete the Ordeal. Ordeals are held throughout the year and you are free to attend whichever Ordeal works best for your schedule.
- Spring Ordeal (May 19-21) at Camp Kikthawenund
- Summer Ordeal (August 18-20) at Camp Krietenstein
- Lodge Ordeal (September 15-17) at Ransburg Scout Reservation
