CEREMONY TEAMSWould you like to be on the Netami Chapter Ceremonies Team? Many years ago, the Netami Chapter had an active and vibrant Ceremony Team. We intend to bring it back again.
We need Arrowman Youth that have an interest in OA Ceremonies to start attending our Chapter Meetings and special weekend practices. We also need Adult OA Leaders/Advisers, preferably with Ceremony Experience to make this happen! We would like to have multiple ceremony teams with multiple team advisers. We will start with Call-Out and Ordeal teams, working our way up to other ceremonies. Email [email protected] if you're interested in participating! |
ARROW OF LIGHT AND CUB SCOUT CROSSOVER CEREMONIES – UPDATED SUMMER 2018
The National Order of the Arrow Committee, after months of collaborative work with ceremonialists and lodge leadership representatives, announce the following policy change. This policy change will apply to ALL Order of the Arrow lodges and chapters.
We know that lodges and chapters are frequently asked to perform Arrow of Light and crossover ceremonies for Cub Scout packs, which is an appropriate service in support of our packs. That said, we have had many complaints surrounding these ceremonies from various American Indian tribes due to the manner in which they are conducted as well as the inconsistent nature in which they are performed.
Beginning January 1, 2019, lodges and chapters that are asked to conduct Arrow of Light or crossover ceremonies for Cub Scout packs will only be permitted to conduct them using the new, approved official ceremonies. See Ceremony Script Links Below.
These ceremonies are to be conducted in a Scout uniform and are no longer permitted to be done in American Indian regalia.
