Order of the Arrow – Information for All Arrowmen – Feb 26 – Mar 12, 2017

Unit Election REMINDER – The 2017 OA election season is now through April 15th. Troop elections should be in full swing. Paperwork is due to Brett Schneider by April 16th. You can bring them to roundtable or call to make other arrangements.

March Chapter Meeting – Pizza and Game Night – In March we will very briefly discuss plans to attend Indian Winter and NLS. BUT WAIT– before that we’ll meet in the cub scout breakout room at 6PM for pizza to get the evening started. Since we need to order the pizza in advance please RSVP with a headcount by Wednesday, March 1st.

Then to end the night we’ll have fun just playing games and enjoying some fellowship. We invite all Troop Representatives and other youth and adult Arrowmen – adults will be fed if they bring a youth to the meeting – to attend and enjoy the evening. Bring your board and card games and your appetite! Thursday March 2nd at 6PM, Minnetonka Community Center.

April Chapter Meeting – Order of the Arrow: Removing the Mystery – In April, youth leaders from our chapter and from the lodge will present ‘what and why’ about the OA at the boy scout breakout. You will meet these exceptional young men and hear firsthand why they participate and why what the OA does is important to them and to scouting as a whole. They are looking forward to an interactive Q&A from youth and adults to help remove any mysteries and misconceptions. Please plan on having your troop representative and all other interested youth and adult attend. Membership in the OA is not a requirement for participation. Thursday April 6th at 7PM, Minnetonka Community Center

May Chapter Meeting – Conclave Planning Begins – In May we will begin the process of planning for our revised Conclave date and location. We will need youth and adults to attend the meeting to better understand the change and then to break out into groups to begin developing plans and resources. Troop Representatives can play a huge role in this planning as we need Arrowmen for all staffing positions. Thursday, May 4th at 7PM, Minnetonka Community Center
