Nexts Steps for New Members
1. Pay Your Lodge Dues Anually
To stay an active member, you must pay your lodge dues each year. This keeps you on the roster and allows you to attend events and wear your OA sash.
2. Brotherhood Membership
- After a minimum of 6 months of active membership, you can seal your membership by completing the Brotherhood.
- Brotherhood conversion is offered at most lodge weekends. Start participating now so you’re ready!
3. Get Involved Through Service & Leadership
Now that you’re an Arrowman, it’s time to participate and give back through cheerful service:
- Attend lodge events like fellowships, service weekends, and chapter meetings
- Help with camp service projects and unit elections
- Join a lodge committee (communications, ceremonies, service, event planning, etc.)
- Serve as an Elangomat (guide) for Ordeal candidates
- Join a ceremonies team
- Sign up to help run Ordeals for future candidates
- Run for a lodge or chapter leadership position
The more you participate, the more you will grow as a leader and make the most of your OA experience.
