King Ding Dong Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 In my Lodge a District Advisor would be a Chapter Advisor. Look here. http://www.oa-bsa.org/uploads/publications/GOA-2012.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papadaddy Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It is analogous to the SM/SPL relationship. The Advisor's job is to mentor the youth leaders (Chapter Chief) ... not to run things for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWScouter Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 In addition to advising the Chapter Chief, the Chapter Adviser needs to recruit and assign Associate Chapter Advisers so that the Chapter Vice Chiefs will each have an adviser. The Chapter Adviser needs to work closely with the Chapter Chief and the rest of the Chapter Executive Council (CEC) - The Chief, Vice Chiefs, and their advisers to ensure the chapter is functional and meets its purpose.

JasonG172 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks so much guys for the help. From what I understand this lodge has been in disarray for some time and not very active, only because of the leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeCastor Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Congratulations, Jason! It is quite the honor to be asked, even more so if the Lodge has been struggling. Remember that the youth are the ones making decisions and running their chapter/lodge. Just be there when they have questions and guide them when you think they need guidance. Make good use of Start/Stop/Continue and help them fix the things that seem broken. You want the Lodge to be good but start by helping your Chapter Chief make his Chapter the best in the whole Lodge. Brotherhood. Cheerfulness. Service. It's pretty simple. Patches are nice but the OA is about those first three things... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_OX_Eagle83 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Operating a Chapter is a lot like Operating a Troop, or Crew, that doesn't meet as often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean seriously its a campout! shouldn't they know? Sorry, but it is not a campout, it's an ordeal. For example, the candidates should not be bringing food, snacks, or cooking gear. They shouldn't be bringing a tent. They should be bringing work clothes, their uniform, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here Pre-Ordeal is held at summer camp and Ordeal was last weekend. My Chapter had 200+ candidates, probably 700+ for the whole Lodge. Disbursing that many Scouts in the woods in one night would be a grueling feat. Candidates need to bring something to eat Friday night and Sunday morning.
