Brotherhood Bound!
Welcome to the Trail to Brotherhood! A guide has been prepared by the Japeechen Lodge Brotherhood Committee to help candidates on your journey towards Brotherhood. We hope that you will find the information that is contained within the guide as helpful in your journey down the Brotherhood trail.
The challenges that are outlined in this guide, will be reviewed by both you and a representative of the Brotherhood committee at a time that is chosen to take the Brotherhood Reflection. The Reflection should not be viewed as a test but in turn as an opportunity for the candidates to learn more about the Order and their renewed commitment to the Lodge. The following challenges have been selected by the Lodge’s Executive Committee to represent the information and knowledge that each Brotherhood candidate must understand and know, before they continue further along the Brotherhood trail.
Once a candidate has completed the challenges outlined in this guide, he or she will be eligible to attend one of the Order of the Arrow weekends scheduled this coming year. At that time, the Brotherhood Committee and Ceremonial Team will conduct a Brotherhood hike and ceremony to complete your journey towards this honored membership.
Candidates need a copy of Adobe Acrobat to read the 'Trail to Brotherhood Guide'.
The National Order of the Arrow site also has a resource for helping you along the Trail to Brotherhood. Please use the link below to the Jumpstart site.
Good luck on your trail. Jumpstart for new Arrowmen
