dan Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 BOY oh BOY I should not post when I am tired! Dont got no grammar nor spelling scents! I should add the OA members where all dressed in Native American costumes (the Scouts not the leaders) a big drum was being beat and it was dusk. Much fire and dancing! If you get a chance take your cubs to one of these, it should peak their interest in boy scouting. Of course I ain't got no spelling scents when I am not tired!

Gold Winger Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I would think that your lodge would provide them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-in-KC Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Welcome to the Forums Have you talked to your Lodge Chief yet to get budget authority to buy from BSA Supply Service? Have you talked with your Lodge Adviser and/or Professional Staff Adviser to actually order them? I assume you are chair of your Lodge's C-team in writing this. If not, what's he doing about the task? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWScouter Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Umm, as far as I know, OA does not have any official call out ceremonies as there is for the Pre-ordeal, ordeal, brotherhood, and vigil ceremonies. This is all under the purvue of individual lodges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokala Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Wow! Someone resurrected an old thread! "OA does not have any official call out ceremonies " I have not seen a National generated tap out/call out script ever (since 1977). Lodges were encouraged to generate their own and include local tribal/camp legends/history in their ceremonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRATPLAYEr Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Okay, I do not have the site but my father/ scoutmaster printed off some stuff about the tapout ceremony and there are guidelines. Many Lodges have developed call-out ceremonies for use for Ordeal membership or the Vigil Honor. This recognition has been purposefully left in the hands of the lodge. All other ceremonies are prescribed nationally. 1, The Candidates and teh audience of youths, parents, and leaders should be made aware of the importance of the honor being given. 2, The name and unit number of each candidate should be announced clearly. 3, The ceremony should be conducted with dignity. Rough stuff, kneeling, hazing, and/or any other kind of physical or psychological abuse is forbidden in any Order of the Arrow ceremony or activity. 4, Call-out ceremonies should be held in public at evening retreat ceremony or at a special gathering of all the Scouts and Scouters in the camp. Other sites could be at mealtime in the dining hall, at campfire areas, or other suitable places and occasions. 5, Ceremonies should be dignified and impressive. They should have an American Indian theme with campfires, tom-toms, and American Indian dancing to supplement, but not overwhelm, the honor.

Gold Winger Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Maybe the adults need to look at their role as ADVISORS again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emb021 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 "if someone could get the position roles of the advisors" The OA's Lodge Leadership Development websit has resources that give clear job descriptions for several officer and advisor positions. Further, check out the "Guide for Officers and Advisors", which is the handbook for these people. Can be downloaded from the OA website, and ALL Officers and Advisors should have a copy. Your Lodge DOES run LLD each year, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
