Polestar - OA Inductions Training

Date:

 

Location:

 

We are excited to announce that we are putting on an Order of the Arrow (OA) important training weekend on December 13-14 at Camp Avondale. This will be three trainings in one: Elections Training, Polestar: Induction Leadership Training, and Elangomat training.  There is no cost to attend for members of Quinipissa Lodge to attend. 

Elections Training

Our goal each year is to provide every unit in the council with the opportunity for a unit election. This is a lot of territory to cover and our Elections Committee is always looking for Arrowmen to help. Serving on a unit elections team is an excellent way for Arrowmen to assume a position of responsibility and leadership and is a great way for even the newest OA member to get involved in the Lodge.

Polestar: Induction Leadership Training

The OA membership journey, called the Induction, begins at the Unit election and culminates in the Brotherhood ceremony. Polestar: Induction Leadership Training clarifies the true service the OA provides to Scouting and how the Induction achieves this purpose. Polestar builds excellence in execution of the Induction, helping lodge leaders to improve membership activation and retention. Polestar should be experienced by all youth and adults who lead the essential activities of the OA locally–as well as any members who wish to learn more about how (and why) the OA functions.

Elangomat Training

Next to the candidates, the elangomat is the most important part of the Ordeal. Learn what it takes to be an elangomat and the greater meaning behind the role.
