Need You! Do you possess the dedication, time and energy to be in a youth leadership position within the Lodge? The Order of the Arrow is a brotherhood of Scout campers led and run by youth leadership and guided by adult advisers. Being a Lodge Officer will teach you a great deal about yourself and how well you can set your own goals and work to achieve them. The process for election is very simple. At Fall Fellowship, the general meeting of the Lodge will be opened. Candidates must submit a Lodge Officer Nomination Form approved by their Chapter Adviser and District Executive prior to the election. The nomination form must be turned in to the Lodge Chief or his designee prior to the election. Each candidate will be given a few minutes to speak and tell the Lodge members present why they feel they should be elected. The same process is followed for the offices of Lodge Chief, Vice Chief of Administration, Vice Chief of Program, Vice Chief of Indian Affairs, Vice Chief of Communications, and Vice Chief of Finance. A Lodge Leadership Development Course (LLD) will be held in December to instruct officers in the duties of their respective office. No officer is alone in their leadership; there are many adult advisers as well as past officers who are willing and able to help. Any youth (under 21) in the Lodge can be a Lodge officer. Take a look at the Lodge Leadership positions:
From the Lodge Chief..... On behalf of Egwa Tawa Dee I would like to welcome you to our website. Here you can find any OA related news and information. If there is something that you think should be added contact the VC of Communications. The year 2010 is the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. It is going to be a busy year, but I am confident that it will be a great year. This will be the year for the OA to “Shine the Brightest” in the Atlanta Area Council. It will be an opportunity for us to prove how great an organization the Order of the Arrow really is. We as Scouting’s Society for Honor Campers have a responsibility and privilege to lead Scouting into its next century. Egwa is charged with setting the example as Scouts. To celebrate the Centennial year of the BSA I challenge every Arrowman, every Scout, youth or adult to carry out Scouting’s original purpose. That is to give service to others, to provide unique opportunities, and to train and raise boys into men. I further to find and take any opportunities to provide Service and Leadership, and you as the finest Scouts and Scouters that the AAC has to offer are the best candidates to lead the Lodge, Council and Scouting. There are many great opportunities that are overlooked. OA High Adventure is one of the greatest experiences one can have as a youth in the Order of the Arrow. For a greatly reduced cost you can experience two weeks at any one of the BSA’s High Adventure bases, make friends and give service to the great outdoors. Serving you will be my greatest opportunity for the year 2010, it will be difficult, I know, but it will be rewarding. There will always be opportunities to serve your Lodge. I will need chairmen and members for our many committees, if you are interested please contact me at chief@aacegwa.org. Celebrate Scouting for what Scouting really is, seek out opportunities, and be an honored member of the Brotherhood of Cheerful Service. Yours in Brotherhood,
2010

The National Order of the Arrow Committee is pleased to announce SummitCorps - The New River Experience - a hybrid of ArrowCorps5 and our OA High Adventure programs. During July 2011, SummitCorps - The New River Experience will provide service to the New River Gorge National River in West Virginia. Upgrading the trail bed of the Garden Grand Hike and Bike Trail, along with invasive species removal, will be the focus of the project. The Garden Grand Hike and Bike Trail connects the New River Gorge National River to the Boy Scout's new high adventure base and home of the Jamboree - The Summit: The Bechtel Family National Reserve. Lodge contingents have a choice of four sessions to attend - 1) July 3-9, 2) July 10-16, 3) July 17-23, and 4) July 24-30. Similar to ArrowCorps5 and our High Adventure programs, the week will consist of service and recreation opportunities. The
projected cost for each participant is $250. Youth and
adults may participate in SummitCorps - The New River
Experience. Lodge contingents are responsible for transportation
to and from the event site. The Charleston, WV and Columbus,
OH airports are convenient to the event site. More event information, registration details, and promotional materials will be available by late summer 2010. A series of informational webinars will be held in late summer 2010 to provide more details to section and lodge leadership. We hope you will join us for this exciting event in 2011!
