Dying to get involved in the OA? Looking for something else to do? Are you ready for a new challenge? Have you considered joining a chapter ceremony team?

The Order of the Arrow has a world of opportunity for you. Cahuilla Lodge is organized into 10 different chapters, and most chapters use ceremony teams to get members involved, to provide service and entertainment for their district, and to uphold one of the OA's oldest traditions.

Indian Lore and ceremonial tradition are as old as the OA itself. Not only do you get to present yourself to an audience in your regalia, but you master other skills like public speaking, memorization, and stress management when something goes a little awry despite your hours of practice.

Whether you are new to the OA or have been a member for several years, you have the opportunity. Some of the OA ceremonies you could be involved with:

- Pre Ordeal Ceremony
- Ordeal Ceremony
- Brotherhood Ceremony
- Arrow of Light Ceremony

The opportunities don't end there either. Some chapters have ceremonies for Packs/Troops that have Scouts bridging from Cubs to Boy Scouts, some have ceremonies for Eagle Court of Honors, and some even have rededication ceremonies for their fellow Brothers in the OA.

Interested? Get started! You can communicate to your Chapter Chief and ask him how you can get involved, because the OA is only as great of an organization as you make it. If you stay home and get involved, you'll never know all of the opportunities it holds for you! If you have trouble contacting your chapter, then email your Lodge Chief and tell him you want to get involved!
