A Message From Your Lodge Chief
Our Lodge Emblem
The legend that is told of the birth of Tecumseh informs us thathis father was looking for a omen. At the moment of the child’s birth, a green comet,the color of a panther’s eye, shot across the sky. Thus he was named, in thelanguage of the Shawnee, Tecumseh. It’s meaning “panther crossing across.”
To represent this historic leader’s birth, we have chosen the form of apanther-shaped comet. The flap of our Lodge shows the unsomo, or birth sign ofthe panther streaking across the sky at the moment of Tecumseh’s birth. The twelvestars on the flap are representative of the twelve points of the Scout Law. The fourstars to the left of the arrow represent the 4 lodges that came together to formTecumseh Lodge: Katinonkwat, Kaniengehaga, Maka-Ina, and Shawnee. Thered arrowhead and shaft are the symbol of our order, pointing on an ever upwardpath.
As the sign of our order the arrow has been fitly chosen, for the first arrowof the hunter must be sure. The shaft should be straight, its point ever keen. Assuch it becomes a token of leadership, and as such we adopt it. The three W’s ,as on all OA patches, stand for the name of the Order of the Arrow in Lenni Lenape,Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui.

The awards and honors provided here are standard throughout theorganization. Individual lodges may form and provide their own local awards such as “Brotherof the Year”, “Most Active Arrowman”, and other achievement awards.
ARROWMAN SERVICE AWARDThe purpose of the Arrowman Service Award (ASA) is to encourage Arrowmen to recommit themselvesto the ideals of the Order, increase their level of service to their local unit and council, and participatein the 100th anniversary celebration of the OA.
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARDThe Distinguished Service Award is presented to Arrowmen, youth and adult, who have rendereddistinguished and outstanding service to the Order on a sectional, regional, or national basis.
E. URNER GOODMAN CAMPING AWARDThe E. Urner Goodman Award was established in 1969 as a tribute and testimonial to the Order’sfounder, E. Urner Goodman. Its purpose is to encourage and challenge Order of the Arrow membersand lodges to increase their effectiveness in promoting and increasing Scout camping in each council.Awards are presented to two outstanding lodges in each region annually. For a lodge to be eligible forconsideration, the E. Urner Goodman Camping Award petition should be completed and forwardedwith the lodge’s charter renewal application.
FOUNDER’S AWARDIntroduced at the 1981 National Order of the Arrow Conference, the Founder’s Award recognizesArrowmen who have given outstanding service to their lodge. The award is reserved for an Arrowmanwho demonstrates that he or she personifies the spirit of selfless service, as advocated by founder E.Urner Goodman and cofounder Carroll A. Edson.
INNOVATION AWARD RECIPIENTSThe Order of the Arrow Innovation Award was established in 2012 to recognize chapters and lodgesfor developing creative and innovative solutions to challenges faced during the implementation oftheir annual program plans. Two awards in each Region are presented annually. The followingrecipients are being recognized for their accomplishments.
JOSH SAIN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPThis scholarship was established in 1998 to honor the spirit and the memory of Josh Sain, a formerNational Vice Chief of the Order of the Arrow.

AWARDS CONTINUED
MAURY CLANCY INDIAN CAMPERSHIP FUNDThis campership fund was created in 1971 to help provide funds to those American Indian Scoutsneeding assistance to attend resident camp. The fund was subsequently named in memory of long-time national committee member Maury Clancy, who contributed significantly to the Order. Mr.Clancy emphasized the significance of our nation’s American Indian culture and worked to encouragethe preservation of our American Indian heritage. Lodges may contribute to this fund through theirsection at will, thereby increasing the fund and enabling more camperships to be awarded.
NATIONAL SERVICE AWARDThe National Service Award was established in 1999 to recognize lodges in each region that haveperformed outstanding service, both in a qualitative and a quantitative sense, to their council.
OA SERVICE GRANTOne of the four-fold purposes of the Order of the Arrow is to crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulnessinto a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. It is with this spirit of cheerful serviceto others that the Order proudly offers the matching service grant program. For several years, theNational Order of the Arrow Committee has provided matching service award grants for a limitednumber of projects.
RED ARROW AWARDThe Red Arrow award was created in 1967 to recognize individuals who are not members of theOrder of the Arrow, for outstanding service to the Order. This attractive award, a red arrow andmedallion superimposed on an engraved plaque, and a miniature charm for civilian wear, can only beawarded by action of the National Order of the Arrow Committee.

The Legend of the Order of the ArrowYears ago, in the dim ages, In the Valley of the Delaware, Lived a peaceful tribe of Indians- Lenni Lenape their name was. Deer and bear, wildcat and pantherthrough the forest oft they hunted. On the bosom of the river Peacefully they fished andpaddled.
Round their busy village wigwams still the chase they nimbly followed. In this state of blissso happy Many moons they lived contented, Springtime blossomed into summer, Summerinto autumn ripened, Autumn died on winter's bosom; Thus the seasons in succession Neverending seemed to pass on.
But, behold, a cloud arising Changed how soon this peaceful aspect. Neighboring tribes, anddistant enemies, Suddenly disturbed their hunting. Then Chingachgook, aged chieftain Of thetribe, made quick inquiry: "Who will go and carry warning Of this dire and dreadful dangerTo all Delawares, our brothers?" But none wished to make the journey.Then spoke up the noble Uncas, Worthy son of the old chieftain, "O my father, I am ready;Send me on this gracious errand. If we would remain a nation, we must stand by one another.Let us both urge on our kindred firm devotion to our brethren and our cause, Ourselvesforgetting, Let us catch the higher vision. Let us find the greater beauty In the life of cheerfulservice."
Off upon the trail they started, Old Chingachgook and young Uncas; And in every tribalvillage Some were found who were quite willing To spend themselves in other's service. Whenat last the fierce marauders Were forced back to their own country And peace was declaredbetween them, They who first themselves had offered For the service of their brethren, To theplaces most respected By the chieftain were promoted: For, said he, who serves his fellowsIs, of all his fellows, greatest!
As a seed dropped by the sower On good soil bears quick fulfillment: So this saying of theirchieftain In their hearts found glad acceptance And they asked that in some manner He shouldmake its memory lasting.
So together fast and firmly Chief Chingachgook bound these warriors In a great and honoredOrder, Into which can be admitted Only those who their own interests Can forget in servingothers. And so firm must be their purpose So to live that their companions, Taking note of theirdevotion, Shall propose them to the Order, We, therefore, to them succeeding To the presentday perpetuate The names and tokens of this Brotherhood of Cheerful Service Called byDelawares: Wimachtendienk - Wingolauchsik - Witahemui.

HISTORY
The Order of the Arrow was founded by Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson in1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. Itbecame an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scoutingprogram in 1934. In 1948 the OA, recognized as the BSA's national brotherhood of honorcampers, became an official part of the Boy Scouts of America. In 1998, the Order of theArrow became recognized as Scouting's National Honor Society when it expanded its reach
beyond camping to include broader service to Scouting and the community.
PURPOSE
The Order of the Arrow was founded in 1915 to serve a useful purpose: to cause the ScoutOath and Law to spring into action in all parts of the nation. To this day, the Order is dedi-
cated to this high purpose.
MISSION AND PURPOSE
For more than 90 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouterswho best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. This recognition providesencouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Arrowmen are known for maintainingcamping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long term resident camping, andproviding cheerful service to others. OA service, activities, adventures, and training foryouth and adults are models of quality leadership development and programming that enrichand help to extend Scouting to America's youth.
The Order of the Arrow has over 170,000 members nationwide.

THE JOURNEY FROM ORDEAL MEMBERSHIPTO BROTHERHOOD
Your completion of the Ordeal sets you on the next part of your long and toilsomejourney; at least 10 full months of active preparation for sealing your membership in theBrotherhood Ceremony.
The Ordeal has introduced you to the mysteries of the Arrow. Now, during yourservice as an Ordeal member, you have ample opportunity to increase your knowledge of theArrow and make it work for you.
The following gives all the basic information you will need during this importanttime. Your brothers in the Order stand ready to help also, and you should take advantage oftheir support whenever possible.
The Challenges of Ordeal Membership
You must meet five challenges before you can enter the Circle of Brotherhood. Thefirst of these you should meet now. The next three require steady effort over a period of manymonths. The last challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you are meeting the firstfour.
1. Memorize the signs of Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Orderwhich you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card).Also, memorize the Order of the Arrow song, the Admonition, the Sign of Ordeal Member-ship, and the Arrow handclasp.
2. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal. Gain a thorough understanding of theOrdeal through which you have passed. Obtain a copy of the Manual for the Ordeal, or attendother Ordeal Ceremonies and learn more about what you have experienced.
3. Serve your Unit. Retain your registration in Scouting. During a period of at least 10months, strive to fulfill your Obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your ownTroop or Post.
4. Plan for service to your Lodge. Retain your registration in the Order of the Arrow Lodgeand keep your dues paid. Be aware that acceptance of Brotherhood membership involves apledge of service to the lodge. Develop a concrete idea of how you plan to fulfill this pledge.
5. Review your Progress. When you earnestly feel that you have met the four challengesabove, write a letter to the Brotherhood Chairman. In this letter:
A. Explain what you think the Obligation means.
B. Describe how you have been fulfilling this Obligation in your troop or post andin your daily life, and how you have used your understanding of the Ordeal to aid inthis service.
C. Describe your specific plans for giving service in the lodge program.
Page 31
YOUR RELATION TO YOUR UNIT
Always remember that your fellow Scouts honored you by electing you to the Orderbecause of your Scout Spirit and camping ability. They set you apart as one from whom theyexpect a great deal. Your experience with the Ordeal should now enable you to give theleadership they want and need. For this reason, your first duty as an Arrowman is to continueand expand your service to your own troop or post. The success of the Order in your unitmainly depends on what you do individually. Your example of cheerful service in camp andat troop or post meetings is the spark that brings the spirit alive.
By striving to fulfill your Obligation you will not only help your fellow Scouts, youwill also gain the experience needed to understand the Brotherhood membership.
YOU AND YOUR UNIT
An Arrowman's primary responsibility is to his troop or post. Remember, it was your fellowscouts or explorers who elected you into our noble order, and it is to them that you shoulddevote most of your service. Dr. E. Urner Goodman, founder of the Order, once said, " Letit be remembered that the Order of the Arrow was created to help the unit - to help it presentits membership a better idea of the inner qualities of the honor scout camper.
Qualities of character, like cheerfulness and service, are hard for a boy or a man tounderstand in the abstract. They come easier when seen in human life.
The Order was started to help glorify these qualities of the honor Scout Camper in the unit,so that they might be appreciated there, not only during the brief term in summer camp, butthrough all of the days and weeks of the year."
Let us remember the significance of the Order in the unit - for the unit is our one best hopein Scouting..."
What are your responsibilities in your home troop or post? You should make sure that yourunit maintains an active camping program and that as many members as possible are involved.Be sure your lodge camp promotion team visits your unit at least once a year and that you havean annual Order of the Arrow election. Your unit should help the lodge give service to as manycommunity projects as possible. It is also most important that you keep your unit membersinformed on current happenings of the lodge and in the local council.

HOW THE ORDER OF THE ARROW IS ORGANIZED
The Order of the Arrow has three distinct organizational levels; lodges, sections, and re-gions. Lodges carry out the Order of the Arrow program at the local level and are closelytied with Boy Scout Councils. Sections consist of several lodges within a geographic regionand Regions in turn consist of Sections within a geogrpahic region of the United States.Lodges, Sections, and Regions each have a distinct set of responsibilities which ensure thatthe OA program runs smoothly.
At the national level, the Order of the Arrow is governed by the national Order of the Arrowcommittee. The national committee sets policy, directs the national program of the Order,and broadly manages the organization above the local lodge level. The committee is com-posed of the national chief and national vice chief (and their immediate predecessors), whoare elected annually at the national planning meeting; the chairman, who is appointed annu-ally by the chairman of the national Outdoor Adventures committee; other volunteer mem-bers, appointed by the chairman; and two staff members, the director of the Order of theArrow and the OA specialist.
RegionsThe Order of the Arrow, like the Boy Scouts of America, is organized into four geographicalregions: Central, Northeast, Southern, and Western. Each region is led by a youth regionchief, a volunteer region chairman, and a region staff adviser. The region leadership helpsexecute the national program on a more local level, implements the National LeadershipSeminar and National Lodge Adviser Training Seminar, provides its member sections withresources, and facilities communication between local organizations and the national OAcommittee.
SectionsAn Order of the Arrow section consists of lodges within a geographic area of the region.Each section is led by a chief, vice chief, and secretary, who play a crucial part in making theannual Conclave a success. The section may lead training seminars, promote national pro-grams of emphasis, and provide resources to local lodges. The section chief presides overthe Council of Chiefs, attended by delegates of each member lodge.
Where does Tecumseh Lodge fit in?Tecumseh lodge is part of Section C-4B in the Central Region.During the year we will have two functions where we are directly involved with the otherLodges in our Section.The Section Conclave is a gathering of the Lodges in the Section. It is hosted in May by adifferent Lodge each year, who will choose one of their camps to showcase. At the Conclavethere will be training and competitions along with activities just to have fun and fellowship.ALTC, the Area Leadership Training Conference, is a training session held by Sections C-4Aand C-4B combined. It is hosted each November by Tecumseh Lodge at Camp Lazarus.This is a great training opportunity for those interested in furthering their involvement in the
Lodge by becoming a Lodge officer or a Chapter officer.
