OA Induction Weekends 2024

An OA Ordeal is a unique Scouting experience.  The event challenges a candidate physically, spiritually, and mentally.  It provides the candidate a time to reflect on how brotherhood, cheerfulness, and service will direct the candidate’s life. 

Check-in begins at 7:30 PM on Friday. Ordeal candidates will have completed their ordeal by approximately 9:00 pm Saturday evening and are invited to join the fellowship activities (including games, service opportunities, and training) that are planned throughout the weekend and ending at 9:30 AM on Sunday. Food is provided throughout the weekend to registered participants. Participants will be camping.

You can find a letter from the Lodge Chief giving more details on what to expect and bring to the event. The letter may be found here: https://www.netopalis.org/candidate-information/

Each participant is required to bring a copy of a current BSA medical form, Parts A & B to check-in.
