Fall Ordeal and Vigil Call-Out (August 26-28, 2011)
The induction ceremony, called the Ordeal, is the first step toward full membership in the Order. During the experience, candidates maintain silence, receive small amounts of food, work on camp improvement projects, and sleep apart from other campers. The entire experience is designed to teach significant values.  All candidates for membership must complete the Ordeal in the year that they were elected to the Order of the Arrow.  The fall Ordeal is the last time in 2011 that the candidates for Ordeal membership will have the opportunity to complete the Ordeal.  On this weekend, we will also call out the Vigil candidates for 2011.

Fall Fellowship and Vigil Honor Inductions (October 14-16, 2011)
The lodge fall fellowship is one of the highlights of the lodge's year!  The Fall Fellowship is White Horse's special weekend-long party, with plenty of fun and adventure to go around.  The lodge will host the induction of the new Vigil Honors recipients in addition to an opportunity for eligible Ordeal members to  become confirmed in Brotherhood.  On Sunday, the youth will elect its officers for 2012. will have the impressive Vigil Honor call out ceremony and the election of our 2011 Lodge Officers.  The fall fellowship will be the last opportunity in 2011 for eligible Ordeal members to take part in aBrotherhood ceremony, which places further emphasis on the ideals of Scouting and the Order. Completion of this ceremony signifies full membership in the Order.


Lodge Community Service Day (November 19, 2011)
This is a community service project which allows Arrowmen of our lodge to serve in the communities where we live.  In the following of the traditions of the Order of the Arrow, projects conducted on this day should not benefit the Scouting community, but the community at large.  More information will be posted on this page as it is made available.
 

Winter Banquet (January 7, 2012)
A great ending to a great year!  The food is always excellent, the camaraderie is beyond compare and the program that follows will be both entertaining and informative.

West Fellowship Award recipients.  All registrations received at the council service center by December 23, 2011 will be charged the "early bird" rate of $15.00; all registrations after will cost $20.00.
