A Letter from the Lodge Chief

Hello Wiatava!

My name is Robert and I’m excited to be your lodge chief for 2025! I look forward to a great year, thanks to the hard work and dedication all of you put into this organization to ensure the best program for our youth. 

I’m excited for the many events and opportunities our lodge and chapters are offering, for fun, fellowship, service, and leadership, providing a rewarding experience for all Arrowmen. 

My goal for the year is to foster a welcoming environment for all Arrowmen, where everyone feels as though they have a place in our lodge. I want us to host fun, engaging events and activities where our brotherhood of cheerful service thrives in the best ways possible. 

Please email me at chief@wiatava.org if you have any questions, comments or concerns. 

Thanks everyone and I’m excited for a great 2025!

Yours in Brotherhood,

Robert E
2025 Wiatava Lodge Chief

Induction #4

Oso Lake

You have been elected to the Order of the Arrow by the Scouts in your unit. Following your election, you were called out. Next you must complete your Induction Weekend.
What is this Induction Weekend that they’re talking about?

The induction weekend is the first step toward full membership in the Order. The entire experience is designed to teach significant values. All candidates for membership must complete the Induction weekend within two years of their election or nomination.

To complete your induction into the Order of the Arrow, prospective new members attend the Induction Weekend. It will be a time spent in service to the camp, working in silence and on scant rations. A time free of distraction to contemplate the value of service to others, it concludes with an induction ceremony and a feast of fellowship and food with other Arrowmen.

Once you have completed the Induction Weekend, you are a member of the Order of the Arrow well on your way through your journey, bestowed with the Ordeal Honor.
