Welcome to the Order of the Arrow
The Order of the Arrow was founded upon the principles of brotherhood, cheerfulness, and service. These principles form the foundation for the Obligation of the Order. This is not an easy pledge to fulfill, for there are few who live a life of cheerful service in our world. For some, the Order will be like a supernova, shining brilliantly for a brief time and soon crumbling to ashes. For others, the Order will kindle a flame or brotherhood, brighter than a thousand suns, lasting throughout eternity.

Brotherhood Candidates - We are excited that you are now ready (it's been 6 months since your Ordeal) to seal your membership in the Order of the Arrow.
OA Members - Thank you again for your Service to our council/camps and your Fellowship with your brothers in the Order of the Arrow. Check with the Area Leadership to sign up to be an elangomat and show everyone what cheerful service means in Mishigami Lodge.
Culinary (Kitchen) Staff - Please check with Area Leadership to make sure you are on the list for this option and to coordinate any special instructions prior to arrival.
Elangomat Staff - If you choose to be an Elangomat, you will re-live your Ordeal, and help lead the new Ordeal candidates during their day of service. This is an important role as you will also work as a crew leader for a small group of candidates during their service project. We need at least one elangomat for every 8 candidates, in order to hold the induction, and more is better. If you sign up for this please bring the same equipment as the Ordeal Candidates, and plan on doing everything the Ordeal Candidates do aside from the ceremonies.
