Ordeal Candidates
Scouts, in troops, crews and ships who were elected to the Order of the Arrow have 24 months from the date of election to complete their Ordeal. You do not have to participate in a call-out ceremony before going through your Ordeal. You must complete the Ordeal to become an official member of the Order of the Arrow.
Lodgemaster: About a week before the Ordeal, information will be sent to the email provided in the election results (from the unit election) through Lodgemaster, the lodge membership management system (not to the email entered into this registration).
Pre-Ordeal Virtual Orientation: All candidates must attend a virtual orientation. Dates and links will be in the calendar in the Lodgemaster member portal.

Lodge Activities
Order of the Arrow (OA) members are encouraged to attend chapter meetings and to take full advantage of all that the OA has to offer. Colonneh Lodge has many opportunities for service, leadership development, and ceremonies. As a member of the OA, Arrowmen can participate in exclusive lodge events (e.g., Fall Pow Wow, Arrowman Bash), regional events (e.g., Section Conclave), and national events (e.g., National Order of the Arrow Conference). Arrowmen can even serve a valuable role to their unit and chapter by serving as OA unit representative. This role qualifies as a position of responsibility toward the rank of Eagle Scout. The OA has something for everyone!
