First Impressions Helping Retain Membership
Wahissa believes active participation starts with great first impressions: experienced election leaders at the troop level, a polished new candidate introduction at Summer camp, and most importantly, a quality Ordeal in the Fall. How a new member feels coming out of their Ordeal sets the tone for that Arrowman’s involvement in our Order, so this should be one of the most important aspects of a successful Lodge.
Meet the 2018 National Officers
With the start of the new year comes the election of new national officers. Elected at the National Planning Meeting in Dallas, Texas this past week, these officers will serve for the next year until the following planning meeting. The newly elected officers will play a big role in planning and executing the upcoming National Order of the Arrow Conference.
Attend the 2018 AIA Seminar
The weekend will be full of sessions on numerous Crafts, Ceremonies, Dance, Singing, Advising, and overall Lodge AIA Program. All Arrowman interested in Indian Affairs are welcome and encouraged to attend. No matter if they have one day or one decade of experience in AIA, everyone will benefit from attending this weekend. Youth and adults will have the chance to attend sessions by individuals who are considered to some of the most knowledgeable individuals in Scouting in their respective areas. The Section AIA Committee has worked hard to draft a schedule that is packed with training. The event is taking place February 16th-18th at Camp Durant. The cost is $20 for the weekend.
Meet the Vice Chief Program
