Order of the Arrow (OA) Ordeal Candidate

Event Details

Ordeal Candidates

About the Ordeal: To become a member of Colonneh Lodge, Scouts elected into the Order of the Arrow (OA) by their unit must complete an Ordeal within their eligibility period at a Lodge Induction and Service Weekend. Candidates have 18 months from their election date to complete the Ordeal. If you don't complete it within this timeframe, you'll need to be re-elected by your unit.

Key Requirements:

  • You must complete the Ordeal to become an official Order of the Arrow member
  • Your Ordeal must be completed through Colonneh Lodge
  • You do not need to participate in a call-out ceremony before your Ordeal

Communications: Event information will be sent to the email address provided in your unit's election results through Lodgemaster (our lodge membership management system). We will not use the email entered in this registration form.

Required Candidate Orientation: All candidates must attend a virtual orientation session via Zoom. Dates and meeting links will be emailed the week before the event and posted on the OA Portal.
