Ordeal This Weekend

By

With much of western NC being hit with rain and flash flood warnings, we’ve had some questions regarding Ordeal this weekend. Good news – Ordeal is not cancelled! Camp Bud Schiele is in fine shape and the weather forecast is calling for a slight chance of rain Saturday night with partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 80s on Saturday with no chance of rain.

We will be monitoring the weather and camp throughout the week. If anything changes, we will post it here and on our Facebook and Twitter channels but we don’t anticipate anything at this point. Ordeal is on for this weekend!

If you’re a candidate, make sure you check out our 2018 Ordeal Guide.

If you’re an Ordeal member eligible for Brotherhood, check out our 2018 Brotherhood Guide.

See you at Ordeal this weekend!

2018 Vigil Honor Nominations

By

vigil honor nominations

Nominations Closed On June 1, 2018

The Vigil Honor is unique. It is the highest honor that an Order of the Arrow Lodge can bestow on its members. The Vigil honor is not earned; it is given to honor someone for going above and beyond the description of his or her position in scouting, for the greater good the lodge and Scouting.

Under no circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered as reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation.

To be eligible for consideration for the Vigil Honor, an Arrowman must have been a Brotherhood member for at least two years at the time of the Lodge Vigil selection meeting; and a member in good standing with the Piedmont Council, BSA and Eswau Huppeday Lodge #560 (registered with dues paid).

All brothers in the list below are verified eligible for nomination of the Vigil Honor. They are grouped by Chapter. Both adults and youth can be nominated.

To nominate a brother, use the online nomination form

Nominations must be received by May 31, 2018 to be considered.
