Calling all Ordeal members of Kittan Lodge! Have you been an Ordeal member for 6 months and ready to take the next step on your journey in the OA? Then come join the Kittan Lodge Spring 2025 Brotherhood Hike. This will be a great opportunity to provide service at Camp Chingachgook YMCA Camp in Pilot Knob, NY, as well as completing your membership in the Order of the Arrow. Brotherhood and Vigil Honor members are encouraged to attend, assist in the project, enjoy the fellowship of lunch and then participate in the Brotherhood Ceremony. This year's event will focus on the historic connection of Kittan Lodge to Camp Chingachgook. 

At its begining Camp Chingachgook was also Camp Rotary operated by the Schenectady County Council, BSA. Yes over a hundred years ago this YMCA camp was jointly opperated as a Scout Summer Camp. When the Order of the Arrow first came to what is today Twin Rivers Council in 1925 that included inductions at Camp Rotary in that summer. Read more about the beginings of what is now Kittan Lodge, from the August 2020 Newsletter, here.

Lunch will be in the Camp Chingachgook Dinning hall. Their amazing Chefs will prepare a special meal for us! The cost of lunch is included in your event fee. We will again be "Calling Out" the Kittan Lodge Vigil Class at the conclusion of the Brotherhood Ceremony. Remember that all current Ordeal members in Kittan Lodge are eligilble to complete their Brotherhood at this event.

We will also have a unique event patch available for sale at the event! The cost will be $5 each, available to attendees first. The price of the patch is not included in your registration.
