First of all, Congratulations !
You have been selected by your unit as one who is worthy of recognition, not only for the service you have provided in the past, but also for the service you will provide in the future. We welcome you into our Brotherhood of Cheerful Service, Ittawamba Lodge #235, West Tennessee Area Council. In order to fulfill the candidate requirements and become an Ordeal member in our Brotherhood, you must complete an Ordeal. On Saturday evening of the Ordeal Weekend, after you complete the Ordeal, you will have a gathering and bonding time with your fellow lodge members and chapters. On Sunday morning, you will be given further knowledge and instruction about our Order's purpose and be presented your Ordeal booklet and patch.
The Spring Ordeal weekends are scheduled for March 9-11 and March 23-25 at Camp Mack Morris, near Camden, TN. We are offering you the opportunity to attend either weekend. By doing so, you will be eligible to either attend or staff our section conclave which will be held at our very own Camp Mack Morris! Conclave is the annual gathering of the nine Order of the Arrow lodges in Section SR-6. It a great event where you can meet other Arrowmen, participate in competitive events, learn more about the Order of the Arrow and its opportunities, and have a ton of fun!
