If you find this TB and you are a member of OA, please, share a story about your Ordeal.
If you are not a member of OA, I would encourage you to go through the Ordeal on your own, at least the day of service, and then share your story.
My Ordeal medalion from my induction to the Order of the Arrow.
The Ordeal consists of: a day of silence and solitude, a day of fasting, and a day of service. It is supposed to be a time of reflection: learning about yourself and growing.
Everyone who is tapped out to join OA must go through the Ordeal-though the Ordeal is not done the same everywhere.
For my Ordeal, we did all three days as one, starting the night I was tapped out. Me and the other scouts that were tapped out went off and spent the night in the woods under the stars, no tents. Then the next day we worked around the camp in silence, cleaning up and getting ready for winter. All we had for food was three bagels, one for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner. Then that night was the Ordeal ceremony welcoming us into OA.
