Order of the Arrow |
|
Calling out ceremonies and Ordeals will be conducted each week of the regularly scheduled Boy Scout camping weeks. It is the responsibility of the Scoutmaster, or the summer camp unit leader, to show the unit’s copy of the O.A. election results to the summer camp chief. This will be requested by the camp chief at the beginning of your week at camp. This will need to be done for your unit to have participants in the calling out ceremony and the Ordeal. As with all O.A. lodges, we are not permitted to have out-of-council Scouts or leaders participate in the full Ordeal. This must be done in the council to which you unit is registered. Out-of-council units may have their elected Scouts and leaders “called out” as public recognition while at camp. To have this happen, we need to have a letter from the council of these units to grant us permission to do so.
The Ordeal fee is $35.00 for troops camping at Camp Lowden or Canyon Camp. The Ordeal fee includes the following items: O.A. sash, Wulapeju Lodge #140 pocket flap, O.A Handbook, and dues paid through December 2007. |

Mile Swim |

Mile Swim is an activity badge that can be earned by any scout or leader who is able to complete a one mile swim in the swimming pool. This activity is led by the aquatic staff at the pool. The Mile Swim is done on Friday morning following breakfast. |

On Wednesday night, camp is open to parents and friends. Everyone is invited to observe the flag lowering at 6:00 p.m. and afterwards share a barbeque supper, which will be available until 6:40 p.m. Please inform parents that after 6:40 pm food will not be available in the camp dining hall. Picnic tables are available for troops wishing to organize family or troop picnics.
Following supper, there will be an “open house” where parents and friends can visit camp program areas. The evening program will conclude with Native American dancing and the Call-Out Ceremony for the Order of the Arrow.
Leaders must inform the Camp Director at check-in on Sunday as to the total number of additional family members that may be expected for the evening meal on Wednesday.
