I went through my Ordeal. Now what?
If you are a member of the OA, the Lodge needs your help. The first thing to do is to start attending your chapter meeting. Important information about upcoming events is given out at chapter meetings and you need to be there to keep up to date with what is going on in the lodge.
Then, start coming to the lodge events. We have three service days aroud the council each year (Fellowships) and a Winter Conclave, where we have a weekend of fun and games. We also have an annual gathering of the lodges in our section called the "Conclave". This weekend is always exciting and is fun for all. In 2007, the section conclave will be at the Bakersfield College in Bakersfield California. The theme is "2007: The BOND of Brotherhood".
About Tannu Lodge
Tannu Lodge is the Order of the Arrow Lodge for the Nevada Area Council. Members of Tannu Lodge perform service to camp and conduct other fun activities around Northern Nevada. The OA assists with the preparation of Camp Fleischmann for summer camp by erecting tents on the platforms, clearing debris from the sites, and performing other tasks.
What is the Order of the Arrow?
The Order of the Arrow is an organization within the Boy Scouts of America that provides service and leadership opportunities for older Scouts. It is the BSA's honored camper society and is dedicated to cheerful service.
Who can be in the Order of the Arrow?
The OA is often referred to as "Scouting's Honor Society". Membership in the OA is granted only to those who are elected by their own troop. Thus, members are selected primarily by non-members.
Election into the Order of the Arrow is fairly unique. The OA is one of few organizations where selection is made by primarilly non-members. Each year, Boy Scout troops are permitted to hold an Order of the Arrow election. Traditionally, it is held in the spring, but it is permissible for it to be held at any time during the year. All youth members, as well as Scouters under the age of twenty-one, are permitted to vote in this election. Troops that elect at least one youth are eligible to nominate an adult for consideration. To request that an OA election team visit your troop, please contact your chapter.
