The Journey Has Just Begun: Seal Your Ties of Brotherhood

There are many reasons to attain your Brotherhood Honor, not the least of which is an understanding of the Order of the Arrow and what you can give to both the organization and your own unit.

After ten months of active service as an Ordeal member, you become eligible to seal your membership in the Brotherhood ceremony. You must meet five challenges before you can enter the Circle of the Brotherhood.

Memorize the signs of Arrow membership
Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal
Serve your unit
Plan for service in your lodge
Review your progress

Be alert for information in the Quiver and email letting you know of upcoming lodge events. Egwa Tawa Dee offers many opportunities throughout the year to advance toward Brotherhood. Consult your Order of the Arrow Handbook and don't hesitate to ask the Lodge Officers any questions you might have.
