From the Editor This is (drumroll please…) your 2014 Planbook! This publication is intend-
ed to be an easy to read, yet exhaustive compendium of Kawida Lodge
knowledge. We’ve divided the Planbook into nine sections. These sections con-
tain details about anything and everything from lodge events to committees and
chapters, along with a whole lot more awesome stuff, so check it out and make
this Planbook your information source for all things Kawida!
Colin Stapleton 2014 Planbook Editor
Brothers, Welcome to the 2014 Planbook! This document is intended to help you find out
more about our great Lodge, from officer goals to award histories.
The first task of this Planbook is to communicate the goals of the 2014 lead-
ership team to you. Each lodge officer, chapter, and committee has a section
where they describe what they want to do in 2014. The lodge also has a list of
goals, also, called the Annual Plan. If you want to find out more about what the
lodge leadership wants to happen in 2014, look no further than the Planbook!
The Planbook’s second task is to serve as an excellent history of Kawida’s
rich past. Lists of former lodge chiefs, lodge advisers, award recipients, and
more can be found within the pages of this document.
The Planbook is an awesome way to find out more about Kawida Lodge.
Take a look!

About the Order of the Arrow
History of the Founding of the Order of the Arrow
The Order of the Arrow was founded in the summer of 1915 by Dr. E. Urner Goodman and
Carol A. Edson at Treasure Island Scout Camp. Treasure Island Scout Camp was the sum-
mer camp of the Philadelphia Council, and it was located near Treasure Island, New Jersey.
The founders’ purpose and intent was to promote the ideals of scouting and to strengthen
the camping spirit. They utilized the local myths and legends of the Lenni Lenape tribe of
the Delaware Indians to enhance their newly founded organization. The first Ordeal Cere-
mony was conducted on July 16, 1915, and twenty-five new members were inducted. Once
the movement started it grew vigorously, and soon many states and councils adopted the
Order of the Arrow and its principles into their own programs. Today, the Order of the Ar-
row is known as Scouting’s National Brotherhood of Honored Campers.
Purpose of the Order
• To recognize those campers, Scouts, and Scouters, who best exemplify the Scout Oath
and Law in their daily lives, and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct
themselves in such a manner as to warrant recognition
• To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit
• To promote Scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as a part of the unit’s
camping program, both year-round and in the summer camp, as directed by the camping
committee of the council
• To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful
service to others
Mission of the Lodge
The mission of the lodge is to achieve the purposes of the Order of the Arrow as an in-
tegral part of the Boy Scouts of America in the council through positive youth leadership
under the guidance of selected, capable adults.

History of Kawida Lodge Prior to the existence of the Order of the Arrow, many councils across the country had
secret organizations, fraternities, orders, and societies whose purpose was very similar to
the purpose of the Order of the Arrow. One such organization was known as the Ku-Ni-Eh
Order. Arthur E. Roberts founded the Ku-Ni-Eh Order in 1922 at Camp Edgar Friedlander,
located on the Little Miami River near Cincinnati, Ohio. Camp Edgar Friedlander was the
summer camp of the Cincinnati Area Council, and Arthur E. Roberts was the Camp Direc-
tor for many of its early years of operation. Mr. Roberts also served the Cincinnati Area
Council as its Scout Executive for many years. During those early years at summer camp,
Mr. Roberts saw a need for the development of a brotherhood to honor a select number of
Scouts who best exemplified the Scout Oath and Law. After many months of searching, Mr.
Roberts found what he considered to be the best ceremony for the induction of candidates
into this brotherhood. This ceremony was based on a ritual used by the Kankau, a tribe of
the Maidu Indians of Northern California. The Kankau used this ceremony to test their boys
in the virtues necessary to become a brave. The word Ku-Ni-Eh means “Order of Man-
hood” in the Maidu tongue, and thus was chosen as the name for this new brotherhood.
The symbol that was selected to represent the Ku-Ni-Eh Order was the “We-hin-ay-pay,”
which means Rising Sun. This symbol was taken from a design in the base of a ritual basket
of the Maidu Indians.
The Ku-Ni-Eh Order had its own requirements for membership, rules and regula-
tions, and even its own handbook. Its popularity spread throughout the Cincinnati Area
Council, and the knowledge of the Ku-Ni-Eh Order’s success spread to many other Coun-
cils. Soon over forty councils had the Ku-Ni-Eh Order as an integral part of their summer
camp program. However, the Ku-Ni-Eh Order was never recognized by the Boy Scouts of
America as an official organization. The local sponsor of the Ku-Ni-Eh Order was O.C. Ran-
kin of Cynthiana, Kentucky, and he presided over the organization’s activities, as well as
the selection of candidates. Candidates for induction into the Ku-Ni-Eh Order were select-
ed by Ku-Ni-Eh Order members, unlike the Order of the Arrow, where non-members elect
candidates.
By the early 1950’s, the Ku-Ni-Eh Order was flourishing in the Blue Grass Council.
There were many Ku-Ni-Eh members, and the organization was very active. The center for
9
these activities was located at Camp Offutt, which was the Blue Grass Council’s official
Scout camp. Camp Offutt was located on the Kentucky River near Fintville, Kentucky. By
the early 1950’s, however, most of Kentucky’s non-Order of the Arrow organizations had
been replaced by the Order of the Arrow, which was a chartered organization of the Nation-
al Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and which functioned as an official part of the Na-
tional Camping Committee. Thus, it was inevitable that the Ku-Ni-Eh Order would also
soon be replaced by the Order of the Arrow.
A Blue Grass Council District Executive named Guy Walton “Walt” Ferrell began to
actively support the idea of chartering an Order of the Arrow Lodge in the Blue Grass
Council. This idea of chartering an Order of the Arrow Lodge created friction between
those who wanted the Order of the Arrow, and those who wished to remain members of the
Ku-Ni-Eh Order. After many debates, eventually the Order of the Arrow replaced the Ku-
Ni-Eh Order, and the wheels were set in motion to charter an Order of the Arrow Lodge in
the Blue Grass Council with the submission of an application to the National Office.
In April of 1952, five individuals were selected to attend an Order of the Arrow induc-
tion weekend being held at Covered Bridge Reservation near Prospect, Kentucky. These
five individuals included Guy Walton “Walt” Ferrell, Henry T. “Hank” Ravencraft, John
Rue “Chunk” Beard, William D. “Bill” Hepburn, and Frank D. Lewis. This Order of the Ar-
row induction weekend was hosted and conducted by the Zit-Kala-Sha Lodge #123 of Lou-
isville, Kentucky. Zit-Kala-Sha Lodge #123 had held similar induction weekends for other
newly formed Lodges in the surrounding areas. The purpose of this weekend was three
fold:
1. To educate these five individuals on the history of the Order of the Arrow, its structure,
and its rules and regulations
2. To officially induct these five individuals into the Order of the Arrow
3. To train these five individuals to conduct an Order of the Arrow induction weekend back
in their own council

Due to the enormous efforts of countless individuals, the Order of the Arrow was offi-
cially chartered in the Blue Grass Council on July 28, 1952, as the Kawida Lodge #480. Even
the selection of the Lodge name has a colorful history. In trying to hold on to the past, the
Blue Grass Council respectfully submitted the name of the “Ku-Ni-Eh” Lodge to the nation-
al office. To the council’s surprise, they were informed that the name “Ku-Ni-Eh” had al-
ready been issued to Lodge #462 of Cincinnati, Ohio. The old Ku Ni-Eh Order members
looked to their Ku-Ni-Eh handbook for guidance. In the back of the handbook there was a
list of the five “Chief Braves” of the tribe of the Ku-Ni-Eh, and one of those braves was
named “Kawida,” also known as the “wise” brave. Thus, the name Kawida was selected by
the Blue Grass Council to be the name of the new lodge, and it was approved by the nation-
al office. The lodge chose the mythical thunderbird as their new totem, and they selected
the call of their lodge to be that of the owl. Kawida Lodge #480 conducted its first Ordeal
induction weekend on June 7, 1952, at Camp Offutt near Fintville, Kentucky. One adult and
one or two youth members (depending on troop size) from each troop in the council were
selected to be charter members, and to undergo the test of the Ordeal. The five members of
the original induction team presided over the weekend with help and support from mem-
bers of the Zit-Kala-Sha Lodge #123 of Louisville, Kentucky. Many camp projects were
completed during that first Ordeal weekend, and some of the more notable projects includ-
ed the building of a new health lodge, improvements on the trading post and handicraft ar-
ea, the raising of a new flag pole, and the building of a swimming crib to be used on the
Kentucky River. The first Ordeal weekend concluded with the repeating of the Obligation,
and the presentation of the Ordeal sashes. These traditions, which had their beginnings
that June weekend in 1952, have continued uninterrupted for more than six decades, with
the induction of literally thousands of Kawida Lodge members.
Over the course of its history, the Blue Grass Council has absorbed several other Cen-
tral, Eastern, and Southeastern Kentucky councils, which led to two Order of the Arrow
lodge mergers. The Mischa Mokwa Lodge #435 merged with Kawida Lodge #480 in 1963,
when the Blue Grass Council absorbed its supporting council, the Cumberland Council of
Middlesboro, Kentucky. To permanently signify this merger, the seven stars of Ursa Minor
(the little dipper), which was a part of Mischa Mokwa’s Lodge totem, was added to the
chest of Kawida Lodge’s totem, the thunderbird. A similar merger occurred in 1979 when

the Blue Grass Council absorbed the Lonesome Pine Council of Pikeville, Kentucky, and the
Tomahaken Lodge #241 merged with Kawida Lodge #480. To permanently signify this
merger, the tomahawk, which was a part of Tomahaken’s lodge totem, was also added to
the chest of the thunderbird.
In 2009, Bracken, Mason, Robertson, Lewis, and Fleming counties from the Simon
Kenton Council of Columbus, OH also joined the Blue Grass Council and our lodge. This
was not a lodge merger, but to honor the event, the LEC voted that all future patches with
the thunderbird should
have the tail feathers a different color than the wing feathers. Today, the Blue Grass Coun-
cil and Kawida Lodge proudly serve the fifty-five county area of Central, Eastern, and
Southeastern Kentucky.
Kawida Lodge #480 is currently in its sixty-second year of existence. The lodge has
evolved greatly, from its early humble beginnings as a pre-Order of the Arrow society, to
the great and honored lodge that it is today. Kawida Lodge has never wavered from its
original purpose and intent since being granted its official charter back in 1952. The lodge
has always promoted the ideals of Scouting, worked hard to strengthen the camping spirit,
and given service cheerfully in the spirit of brotherhood. Kawida Lodge #480 has proudly
and diligently perpetuated the message set forth by the founding fathers of our great and
honored order, and our lodge stands committed to continuing on this same path of success
for coming decades.

Chapters play a critical role in fulfilling both the mission of the lodge and the purpose of
the Order of the Arrow. They are like patrols within a troop in that they are their own or-
ganization (to a certain extent) but they are still part of a larger organization (the lodge).
Chapters are organized by the Lodge Executive Committee based on the current districts of
the Blue Grass Council. Each district has one chapter that covers its entire area; district
boundaries are chapter boundaries.
Chapters have many important responsibilities. These include, but are not limited to,
the following: holding at least four meetings per year; ensuring that summer camp promo-
tions and OA unit elections are held in every troop or team in the chapter who desire one;
forming their own committees and ceremony teams; providing committee members, cere-
monialists, and dance team members to the lodge; performing Brotherhood conversions;
providing support to district events; encouraging attendance at lodge events; and much
more! Visit your chapter’s page to find out more.

Section 5: Committees

Ceremonies Committee Every member of the Order of the Arrow has participated in at least two ceremonies dur-
ing their induction. The Ceremonies Committee is the committee that makes these cere-
monies happen. From Call-Outs, Pre-Ordeals, Ordeal Ceremonies, and Brotherhood Cere-
monies to Cub Scout Crossovers, Arrow of Light Ceremonies, and Eagle Courts of Honor,
the Ceremonies Committee is the team behind lodge ceremonies. They are in charge of re-
cruiting and training ceremonialists, and they make sure all ceremonialists are assigned to
a ceremonies team. They work with the CAP Committee to help chapters form their own
ceremonies teams, and are in charge of making sure that all ceremonies at lodge events
run smoothly and well.

of all Lodge Digital Media. They administer the lodge website, lodge social media pages,
LodgeMaster, and are in charge of creating the summer camp promotion video and the
Year-In-Review slideshow for Winter Banquet. They make sure that digital media needs at
all lodge events are met (such as a projector for Winter Banquet), and work with the Publi-
cations Committee for photography at all lodge events and the content of the lodge web-
site; they also help the Publications Committee with the technical aspects of the Where to
Go Scouting Guide.

Elangomat Committee If you’ve ever wondered who is in charge of all the elangomats that you see at Ordeals,
look no further for an answer! The Elangomat Committee is in charge of recruiting and
training elangomats, and it is this committee who provides elangomats for each Ordeal. The
Elangomat Committee Chairman is not the Vice Chief of Service but works closely with him.
Known as “Head Elangomat” or “Elangomat Sakima” during Ordeals, the Elangomat Com-
mittee Chairman is responsible for coordinating the training and efforts of all the lodge’s
elangomats.

Publications Committee Chaired by the Lodge Secretary, the Publications Committee is in charge of the assembling
and distribution of the Thunderbird (our lodge newsletter) and all other lodge publications.
They publish the Thunderbird quarterly, take minutes at lodge events, update and manage
the Lodge Where to Go Scouting Guide, write documents such as this Planbook, and more!
The Committee is composed of Arrowmen who are interested in layout, graphics, and other
fields related to journalism.
26
Registration Committee The registration committee is in charge of registration for all lodge events and workdays.
Members set up the registration tables and man the entire process, from medical checks to
event check-in. They also man the check-out stations, and work with Lodge Master both
times to ensure that they have a complete list of who’s-on-camp at all times. The committee
is chaired by the Lodge Treasurer, and works closely with the Lodge Secretary and Digital
Media Coordinator.

Service Committee From workdays to Ordeals, the Service Committee is in charge of running the service as-
pect of the lodge. Chaired by the Vice Chief of Service, they decide on service projects, both
to Camp McKee and the community. They are in charge of all workdays and community
service projects, and run the service part of Ordeals. The Service Committee, however, is
not “all work and no play” – they also ensure that workdays have a fun aspect to them. The
Service Committee works closely with the Elangomat Committee to train Elangomats in
how to lead an Ordeal service project, and they help make sure that the Elangomats know
what to do and how to lead Ordeal service projects.
27
Training Committee The Training Committee is the team which runs the annual “Lodge Leadership Develop-
ment” weekend and other trainings throughout the year. They ensure that training is fun
and not like school. They plan and run the Lodge Leadership Development, or LLD, week-
end; they also assist the Ceremonies Committee and the Elangomat Committee with training
ceremonialists and elangomats. The Training Committee also ensures that there is a small
training aspect to every lodge event, and works with the CAP Committee to help chapters
incorporate training into their program. The Training Committee also helps train the Arrow-
men who will be running the Nimat Program in their chapters.

Annual Plan Vision
The objective of the 2014 Kawida Lodge Executive Committee (LEC) members is to take our
lodge to the next level, so that Kawida will be an exemplary lodge by the end of 2014. We
plan to accomplish this through improving communications, empowering chapters, en-
hancing inductions, servicing an outstanding Conclave, and instilling lodge spirit.
Communications
Communications are crucially important to our lives and our organization. Without the
ability to communicate, teams collapse and each member is forced to work on his own.
Therefore, it is the goal of the 2014 LEC to improve our communications wherever possible.
In doing so, we will streamline the process of sharing ideas, planning for events, and brain-
storming what we can do for the youth in our council, the council, and our lodge. We will
also streamline our ability to share these plans with the membership of the lodge.
In past years, a Facebook LEC group was used for officer/adviser communication. This
year, however, this means of communication may become ineffective. Therefore, we will
have to use other methods. Phone calls, emails, and text messages will be used much more.
We will have to work hard to ensure that proper communication is occurring, but this will
keep us from becoming complacent about this essential function.
The LEC’s plans are not worth much if they are not communicated to the members who
comprise this great lodge. This year, we plan to increase the effectiveness of our communi-
cations through our national-award winning lodge website (www.kawida.org), our lodge
Facebook page (Kawida Lodge #480 – Order of the Arrow), and emails sent out from our
membership software, OA LodgeMaster. Kawida communications will generally fall into
two categories: event promotions and informational messages. We plan to communicate
about upcoming events both at the beginning of the year and before each event. We also
plan to convey news about the lodge to you and to seek your input through polls. In doing
so, we ask for your cooperation. Together, let’s help this succeed.

Much like a troop is divided up into patrols, Kawida Lodge is divided up into smaller enti-
ties called chapters. These chapters have their own officers and can run their own events,
while being a part of the lodge as a whole. Chapters have the potential to do great things
for the youth in their area, and the goal of the 2014 LEC is to empower them to do just that.
We plan to accomplish this through two means: focused service and lodge competition.
One of the things chapters have struggled with in past years is not having a definite focus
for their efforts. Chapters have the capability to give outstanding service, but this capability
has not often been called upon. With districts now holding Cub campouts and camporees,
however, our chapters have a potential worthwhile focus for their service. The 2014 LEC’s
goal is to empower chapters and work with them to develop an “ArrowCorps” to assist dis-
tricts with their events. Before the events, chapter meetings could be used to develop plans
for how they could help their districts. At the events, the Arrowmen could serve as guides
for the units, help with set-up and take-down, assist with the shows/campfires, or anything
else the district needed. Chapters could conduct call-out ceremonies and Brotherhood con-
versions, and could hold chapter meetings during the events. The 2014 LEC stands by our
chapters to assist them in every way possible.
Our second goal for building chapters is through chapter competitions at lodge events.
Chapters will be encouraged to start their own ceremony teams, and we plan to hold cere-
mony competitions several times throughout the year. Spring Fellowship and Fall Fellow-
ship could potentially be weekend-long competitions between chapters with the overall
best chapter recognized at the end. The LEC hopes that this will encourage friendly chapter
rivalry and encourage Arrowmen to come together as chapters.
Inductions
Inductions are without doubt one of the most important parts of our Order. Few other
things in the OA have such power to give new Arrowmen a memory that they will remem-
ber throughout life. Thus, part of the 2014 LEC’s plan is to improve the inductions experi-
ence by enhancing ceremonies, building up Elangomats, and growing our new drum team.
Ceremonies are essential to inductions; without them, there really wouldn’t be an induc-
tions experience. The more powerful, impressive, and meaningful our ceremonies are, the
Annual Plan, Continued
31
more newly inducted members will want to come back, participate, and be positively affect-
ed by the OA. To accomplish this goal of having more powerful ceremonies, we plan to re-
cruit new ceremonialists and to further train our current ceremonialists, so that our ceremo-
nies teams have a good understanding of the ceremonies themselves, inflections, working
as a team, and “being” their character. We also plan to recruit ceremony assistants, who
will wear regalia and support the principals by tending the fire and performing other tasks.
After some research, we have determined that the predominant local Native American tribe
was the Shawnee. Therefore, we plan to adopt more Shawnee traits in our regalia, so that
we accurately portray those who were here before.
Elangomats don’t often get a lot of glory, but they can make or break the inductions experi-
ence for a candidate. In 2014, we plan to give these crucial members their full share of
attention and glory. In addition to devising recognition for Elangomats, we also plan on
changing our existing Elangomat program to make it better for all. We plan on giving each
clan one Elangomat, who will go through the Ordeal with the candidates and follow all the
Ordeal Challenges, thus serving as an example of servant leadership. Each Elangomat
would ideally also have an “Arrowman Guide” to assist him in tasks such as using the radio
and interacting with others. We plan on developing a comprehensive Elangomat training
session, which will instruct Elangomats in their responsibilities and joys. Through these
measures, we hope to further promote the Elangomat program, and give Elangomats recog-
nition and the tools they need to do a great job.
In 2013, a Kawida drum team was started for the first time in years. The 2014 LEC intends
to give this new program its full support. To do this, we plan to promote the drum team at
lodge events and whenever else we can. Once we have more members on the team, we can
start learning more songs and maybe even add a dance team. The drum team plans to per-
form during Ordeals and other lodge/council events, as well as serving as drummers for
ceremonies.
Conclave
On April 25-27, 2014, over 500 Arrowmen from across eight states will come together at our
own McKee Scout Reservation (Camp McKee) for an awesome weekend of fun and fellow-
ship. The 2014 LEC and the 2014 Conclave Service Lodge Committee Chairmen are really
excited about this event, and plan on making it the best it can be. We plan to work seam-
Annual Plan, Continued
32
lessly with the section to support the Conclave program, and to provide service with fa-
mous Kawida hospitality. At the same time, we also plan to use this event to come together
more as a lodge, so that we are better able to achieve our vision of being an exemplary
lodge. This win-win situation will not only benefit our own lodge, but also other lodges
and our section.
Spirit
Spirit is an essential part of any lodge. The 2014 LEC plans to build Kawida’s legacy of ex-
ceptional spirit, which will help us come together as a lodge. We plan to obtain a lodge
mascot and creating a lodge cheer. This emphasis on spirit will hopefully jumpstarted by
Conclave and carried into our events this year. Our team of officers, chapter chiefs, and
chairmen are excited and enthusiastic about this year. Are you? Let’s go!
Conclusion
We have a great year ahead of us in 2014. With a great young team of officers, chairmen,
and chapter chiefs, we are ushering in a new era in Kawida history. We believe that the
goals listed in this Annual Plan will help us become an exemplary lodge. Through improv-
ing communications, chapters, inductions, Conclave, and spirit, we will take our lodge to
the next level. Are you ready for Kawida 2014? We hope so! Let’s go Full Speed Ahead!!

Indian Winter Indian Winter is an amazing event held for the first time last year! Are you interested in
ceremonies? Native American Crafts? Dancing? Singing? Drumming? Indian Winter is
the event for you!!
Over the course of a weekend, we cover all these subjects, and even more, including cere-
mony evaluations and starting a ceremonies team in your chapter. Last year, we even be-
gan writing a new call-out ceremony!
Indian Winter was held January 18-20
39
Spring Fellowship Kawida Lodge comes to life every year in March with the Spring Fellowship. Arrowmen
from all over our 55 county area flock to beautiful Camp McKee for a weekend of fun,
games, and great food.
If you like playing the card game Rook, watching March Madness on the big screen, and
getting to know your fellow Scouts, then Spring Fellowship is a must do event!
Typically, this is our Vigil Weekend, where selected youth and adults go through their spe-
cial ceremony and experience, and hopefully receive the highest honor that can be bestowed
on an Order of the Arrow member.
Spring Fellowship was held March 21-23
40
Ordeals Ordeals are the center of our Order – they are the events where we induct new members.
Although Ordeals are primarily about service, we also have fun!
Kawida Lodge holds four Ordeals per year: Spring, Summer Camp, Third, and Fall. The
Spring and Fall Ordeals are always stand-alone events. The Summer Camp Ordeal is held
the weekend after the first week of summer camp, and the Second Summer Ordeal may be
held either after the fourth week of summer camp or as a stand-alone event.
Spring Ordeal will be held May 9-11
Summer Camp Ordeal will be held June 27-28
Second Summer Ordeal will be held August 8-10
Fall Ordeal will be held September 5-7
41
Pre-Conclave Ordeal Kawida is the Service Lodge for Conclave 2014! In order to make this event a success, we
need the help of all our Arrowmen, even those who have just been nominated for our Order
by their troops. We are holding this special event to allow newly nominated Scouts to attend
Conclave. This event only happens about every nine years, so it is a once-in-a-youth-lifetime
experience!
The Pre-Conclave Ordeal will be held April 4-5 at Camp McKee
42
Fall Fellowship Every October, over 150 Arrowmen are expected to converge on the McKee Scout Reserva-
tion for the absolute wildest and most fun annual event that Kawida has to offer: the Fall
Fellowship! This event is one of the highlights of the year, and one of the most fun! Past
Fall Fellowships have included events such as quest games and a Native American Pow-
Wow. Every Fall Fellowship also includes the selection of awards and Vigil Honor, and the
election of the next year's lodge officers.
This year, Fall Fellowship is going to be even better and wilder than ever!! We're keeping
the plans a surprise until the actual event, but we'll give you a few hints: think big and cra-
zy! Quest games, trainings, great food, fellowship, and more – all in one weekend! This is
an event you won't want to miss!!
Fall Fellowship will be held October 3-5
43
Lodge Leadership Development Lodge Leadership Development (LLD) is a really cool lodge event that is held every No-
vember! Although its main focus is training, it is so much more than that! We have a lot of
fun!!
Past LLD’s have had activities such as C.O.P.E games, inductions training, leadership train-
ing, role-playing, and much more!
In the past, LLD’s have been held at the Council Service Center, Camp McKee, and at the
University of Scouting. This year it will be a weekend held at Camp McKee.
Lodge Leadership Development will be held November 8\
44
Winter Banquet Winter Banquet is the event that connects the past year and the new year. It is at this event
that Vigil Honor Candidates are called out and the awards from the past year are given.
The new lodge officers are sworn in, with the taking of the oath and the exchanging of the
Chief's bonnet. The theme for the next year is also revealed, and the Lodge Chief gives a
speech about what you can expect in the upcoming year. Of course, there is good food, fel-
lowship, and even a special patch. Make sure you come to this year's Winter Banquet!!
Winter Banquet will be held December 6
45
Conclave Conclave is an awesome event held annually by Section SR-6. SR-6 contains ten lodges
from Kentucky, Tennessee, and parts of Virginia and Mississippi. All these lodges come to-
gether one weekend for a great weekend of training, fellowship, patch trading, quest
games, and more! It is held at one of the Lodge’s Council camp, and rotates around every
year.
Events such as Quest Games, ceremonies evaluations, training, and more are what
make Conclave so special. All lodges compete against each other to see who will be the
winner of that year's Quest! Ceremonies teams can come and be evaluated to see what they
are doing well and what they could use to work on. Trainings provide a place to share ide-
as with people from all over the section, and everybody benefits from them.
Kawida Lodge will be the Service Lodge for the 2014 Conclave, so be sure to sign up as a
volunteer for Staff!
Conclave will be held April 25-27 at Camp McKee
46
NOAC is an amazing event held every two or three years. All of the OA Lodges from
across the country send contingents of their members to gather at a college or university for
a week of training, competition, shows, and fellowship! As many as 8,000 Arrowmen will
attend this magnificent event. They will live in that college or university's dormitories, eat
in its dining facilities, and participate in one of Scouting's most memorable events. For
most Arrowmen, attending a NOAC is the highlight of their Order of the Arrow career. As
a member of the Kawida Lodge contingent, you will have the opportunity to participate
(with nearly 8,000 of your fellow brothers from all over the country) in numerous NOAC
activities, such as athletic competitions, ceremonies, Native American dancing, Founders'
Day festivities, trainings, patch trading, and interactive nightly shows. It will be a week
that you will never forget!
There won’t be a NOAC this year, but mark your calendars for August 3-8,
2015, and plan to attend the Order of the Arrow’s Centennial NOAC at Michi-
gan State University!
National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC)

Chief’s Citation The Chief's Citation Award was created in 1961 by the Lodge Executive Com-
mittee to recognize that individual (or individuals) whom the Chief feels has aided
him the most throughout the year. Originally, it could be given to either a youth or an
adult member whom the Chief felt was deserving of the recognition. Still today, it is
given annually to only deserving youth or adult members of the Lodge, and is consid-
ered by many to represent the year's most outstanding Arrowmen. Those who have
received it consider it a great honor.

Founder’s Award The Founder's Award was created in 1980 by the National Committee of the Order of
the Arrow to honor and recognize those Arrowmen who have given outstanding service to
their lodge. It is a national award given by the local lodge. The award is reserved for an Ar-
rowman who demonstrates to his fellow Arrowmen that he memorializes in his everyday
life the spirit of achievement as described by the founders of the Order of the Arrow, Dr. E.
Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson. Kawida Lodge #480 presented its first Founder's
Award in 1982 to the late Douglas W. Cox. Since that time, the Lodge has presented numer-
ous other deserving youth and adult Arrowmen with this prestigious award.

Mike Butcher Memorial Award The Mike Butcher Memorial Award is given annually to the year’s most outstanding
youth member from Kawida Lodge #480. The award is given in memory of Mike Butcher,
who tragically lost his life in 1972. Mike was a member of Troop 14, which was chartered by
the Second Presbyterian Church in Lexington, Kentucky. While on a canoeing trip with his
troop, Mike’s canoe overturned in some high-water rapids in the “Little Narrows” section of
the Rockcastle River, and tragically Mike was trapped under the water and drowned. Mike’s
death was not only a great loss for his family and friends but was also a great loss for the
lodge. The award was first given in 1972 to both Mike Butcher (posthumously) and to his co-
recipient Tim Crowley, and has been given annually to a deserving youth member ever
since. Mike was a great human being. He was the ideal Scout, Arrowman, and friend. He
wasn’t someone to always sought the glory of the limelight, but rather he was someone who
was always there in the crowd when you needed him. He always had a smile and a hand-
shake for you no matter what the task. It’s hard to believe that it’s been forty years since
Mike left us. His short life exemplified the purpose and intent of our great and honored Or-
der as set forth by our founder, Dr. E. Urner Goodman, and his dedication to the Order of
the Arrow has been … and always will be … an example for all of us to follow.

William “Bud” Tobin Award This award was authorized by Kawida Lodge for the first time in 2007, and is given an-
nually at the Winter Banquet to any youth or adult member who exhibits the values embod-
ied in our brother who passed on well before his time.
Bud was a Vigil Honor member of Kawida Lodge, and for many years handled Lodge
merchandise and ran the trading post. He always had a smile on his face and a helping hand
for his fellow Scouts and Lodge members. He undertook this somewhat irksome task de-
spite numerous health challenges that limited his own abilities to be as active as he would
have liked. Bud also served several years as the Baden Powell Director at Camp McKee and
was an Assistant Scoutmaster, as well as Chartered Organization Representative, for Troop
60 at the Cynthiana United Methodist Church. He is fondly remembered, and his Scouting
legacy of service is carried by all with whom he came in contact.

Journey to Excellence Chapters The Quality Chapter Award was a recognition that chapters could attain by meeting
certain criteria set by the lodge. In 2012, this award was replaced by the Journey to Excel-
lence (JTE) system, which measures chapters by a nationally-developed set of criteria. JTE
has three levels of achievement – Bronze, Silver, and Gold (the highest). Kawida Lodge rec-
ognizes chapters who meet a level of JTE at the Winter Banquet.

Distinguished Service Award
The Distinguished Service Award (DSA) is presented by the National OA Committee
to Arrowmen who have rendered outstanding service to the Order of the Arrow on a nation-
al, regional, area, or sectional basis. The award is presented to both youth and adult mem-
bers, and the ceremony occurs only at National OA Conferences (NOAC’s). Less than 900 of
these awards have been given to deserving Arrowmen throughout the country since the
award’s inception in 1940. Kawida Lodge is proud that three Lodge members have received
this very prestigious award!
1963 William “Bill” Grant; Winchester, KY
Kawida Lodge's Chief for four consecutive years (1961-1964), the only person to serve four
years as Lodge Chief. Also, Area Chief (a.k.a. Section Chief today) in 1964 (the first year of
Area 4G)
Bill is also a graduate of the University of Kentucky School of Journalism (2001 Hall of
Fame). Currently living in New York, he works for public television, and became the Execu-
tive Producer of the PBS series, "NOVA," and has earned Emmy Awards, Peabody Awards,
etc.
2012 Don Combs; Pikeville, KY
Don was a two-term Lodge Chief for Kawida Lodge (2006 and 2007), a two-term Section
Chief (2007 SR-6N and 2009 SR-6), and the 2010 Southern Region Chief. He was also the
Youth Incident Commander at the 2008 ArrowCorps5 event at the Mark Twain National For-
est in Missouri.
2012 Timothy E. Terry; Lexington, KY
Tim Terry was Kawida Lodge's Chief in 1975, and as a youth member served on the OA
Service Corps staff at the 1973 National Scout Jamboree. As an adult, Tim has been a member
of the administrative services staff for national OA events since 1992. Tim served as the As-
sistant National OA Registrar from 2006-2009, and became the National OA Registrar in
2009, where he still serves today.

Vigil Honor Recognition The Vigil Honor is the highest level of recognition that a Lodge member can obtain.
The Vigil Honor is reserved for those individuals who unselfishly serve others cheerfully in
the spirit of brotherhood. The honor dates back to 1915 when E. Urner Goodman (the Order
of the Arrow's founder) became the first recipient of the Vigil Honor. The honor is bestowed
annually to deserving members following a special "vigil" night and Vigil Honor Ceremony.
Kawida Lodge's first Vigil Honor recipients were recognized in 1956, and since that time,
nearly 400 Kawida Lodge members have "kept the vigil."
