is the HONOR SOCIETY of SCOUTING.



A Scout must be at least a First Class Scout prior to be eligible to be elected into the Order. If it wasn't for all of the work that the Scouts and Leaders of the Order do to improve and maintain our camps, they would not be of such high quality as they are.

BSA OA - ORDEAL
  • After election from his troop or unit, a Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Scouter is considered an Ordeal Candidate until he completes the Ordeal of the Order.
  • Purpose of the Ordeal: It is the purpose of the ordeal to have the candidate reflect on his own Scout life and character and come to a deeper understanding of the Scout Oath or Promise and the principles of the Order.
  • Ordeal Membership: The steps required to complete the Ordeal membership are defined clearly. Once a person has been elected to the Order of the Arrow by his unit members, he is formally recognized as a candidate. This is done at a calling out ceremony, usually conducted by the ceremonies team in an outdoor setting. The candidate takes part in a brief pre-Ordeal ceremony, then an actual Ordeal (series of tests) to prove his sincere dedication to the principles of the Order of the Arrow. Finally, if he qualifies, he is accepted as a member in a colorful and memorable ceremony.
