Existing OA Members

There are about twenty five or more active members of the Troop who underwent the Ordeal for the Order of the Arrow of the Coosa Lodge of the Greater Alabama Council during the past several years.

There is a August 14-16 Ordeal coming up at Camp Comer that they should consider attending in order to earn their "Brotherhood" in the Order. We will announce this at the Monday night meeting and have a meeting at the end of the Troop meeting in the Hut for all OA members.

Since they are wearing the OA flap on their right shirt pocket, they obligated themselves to further service for the lodge by earning their Brotherhood and by attending Chapter and Lodge activities. The more we have at these meetings, ordeals, and lodge activities, the more fraternity we share, the more opportunity he picks up, and the stronger the Lodge and Chapter becomes. He only need prepare for the Brotherhood by reading his OA pamphlet or by calling P Kidd, J Kunka, J Ng, and J and K Berry who will make the preparation easy and locked in.

By more attending we also ease on the transportation requirements.

Please give this email to your son if he is an OA Member and encourage his getting his Brotherhood and becoming more active with the OA.

All of this applies to leaders who have also attended an Ordeal and who are not active at this time. Leaders serve as Chapter and Lodge advisors by setting the tone through attendance and example.

We will have a local Nunne-Hi Chapter (Vulcan District) meeting this coming August 20th, or as announced, Thursday night (at the Bryarwood Presbyterian Church Scout hut) (rear of the main building on the hill). It starts at 6:30 PM and is finished in an hour and a half. Class A uniform and OA sash is required. J Kunka is the Chapter Chief and P Kidd is the Vice Chief for Service.
