Does your lodge use the Troop Representative program? It's a great opportunity to allow one of your youth serve in a leadership role, and it's a recognized OA position. Check it out. Once you have someone in this role, get him involved in Chapter and Lodge meetings. Let him serve in his liaison capacity bringing the word of OA and their activities back to the troop. The council I served as camp director actually carried this one step further when the lodge funded the appointment of a Camp Chief who was the key OA liaison at camp. Made it easier to have those last minute elections with a team from camp, to get youth involved in extra roles for call-out, and an in camp weekly brotherhood ceremony with recognition the next day. The idea is to put the Order out in front and let them sell themselves to their felows.
