Chiefly Speaking: A Letter from the Lodge Chief

Dear Wiatava Lodge,

I am honored to be elected as your 2019 Lodge Chief and I am thrilled about the possibilities for 2019. Wimactidink, Wingalousik, Wiathamaweh. These are the pillars of the Order of the Arrow. Starting in 2019 the Order of the Arrow will be accepting a whole new population of honor campers. Wiatava Lodge will continue its exceptional service. These thigs are only possible if you step up to help us. A lodge is only as strong as its chapters, and a chapter is only as strong as its members. Be strong members so that the lodge will benefit. Be the link that encourages others to participate in the Order of the Arrow. Make new friends and form strong bonds. This is how I see Wiatava Lodge in the future. If everyone is moving forward together, success takes care of itself.

Yours in Brotherhood, John-Aaron Bozanic 2019 Wiatava Lodge Chief

A Letter from the Lodge Adviser

Order of the Arrow members were chosen because they exemplify the Scout Oath and Law.

Wiatava Arrowmen meet that expectation with our service and example to the Council, Districts, Units and our communities. We had over 50 of hours service per arrowman. Our Lodge members participated support activities at the unit, district, and council activities.

Another vital role of the Order of the Arrow is to provide leadership and service opportunities for our youth at the chapter (district), lodge (council) and in selected situations, national level.

2019 will be another year for Wiatava Lodge members to demonstrate our commitment to the Scout Oath and Law. OA members will be asked to support our Troops, Packs, Crews, Ships, Camp O Rees, Webelos Events, popcorn distribution, Scout O Rama, STEM and Summer Camp just to name a few.

2019 will also be the inaugural year of OA elections in Venturing Crews and Sea Scout Ships. It will be an exciting time as we will be bringing the Order of the Arrow to these programs.

I want to thank and challenge those youth who have taken on 2019 leadership roles to fulfill them to the best of their abilities, and for the adult advisers to provide the valuable insight and guidance to help your youth reach their potential.

I challenged all our Lodge membership (youth and adults) to continue their commitment to Scouting and the Order of the Arrow with participation and service at our various chapter and lodge projects, activities, meetings, and trainings.

Reference Information

Mission of the Order of the Arrow

The mission of the Order of the Arrow is to fulfill its purpose as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America through positive youth leadership under the guidance of selected capable adult

Purpose of the Order of the Arrow

As Scouting’s National Honor Society, our purpose is to:

• Recognize those who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and through that recognition cause others to conduct themselves in a way that warrants similar recognition. • Promote camping, responsible outdoor adventure, and environmental stewardship as essential components of every Scout’s experience, in the unit, year-round, and in summer camp. • Develop leaders with the willingness, character, spirit and ability to advance the activities of their units, our Brotherhood, Scouting, and ultimately our nation. • Crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.

History of the Order of the Arrow

The Order of the Arrow was founded by Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948 the OA, recognized as the BSA's national brotherhood of honor campers, became an official part of the Boy Scouts of America. In 1998, the Order of the Arrow became recognized as Scouting's National Honor Society when it expanded its reach beyond camping to include broader service to Scouting and the community.

Eligibility

The Order of the Arrow Membership Requirements are:

• Be a registered member of the Boy Scouts of America. • After registration with a troop or team, have experienced 15 days and nights of Boy Scout camping during the two- year period prior to the election. The 15 days and nights must include one, but no more than one, long-term camp consisting of six consecutive days and five nights of resident camping, approved and under the auspices and standards of the Boy Scouts of America. The balance of the camping must be overnight, weekend, or other short- term camps. • Youth must be under the age of 21, hold the BSA First Class rank or higher, and following approval by the Scoutmaster or Varsity team Coach, be elected by the youth members of their troop or team. • Adults (age 21 or older) who are registered in the BSA and meet the camping requirements may be selected following nomination to the lodge adult selection committee. Adult selection is based on their ability to perform the necessary functions to help the Order fulfill its purpose, and is not for recognition of service, including current or prior positions. Selected adults must be an asset to the Order because of demonstrated abilities, and must provide a positive example for the growth and development of the youth members of the lodge.

Chapter Organization

Chapter Officers

Each chapter must have the following officers: Chapter Chief, Vice-Chief, Treasurer, and Secretary. It is advisable, and very beneficial to have two (2) or more vice-chiefs. In a program such as the Order of the Arrow, those in administrative positions (officers) tend to function most effectively and successfully if they are responsible for not more than seven functions, committees, or people. Thus, this multi-tiered approach to chapter organizations spreads the work load so that it will be more thoroughly done while at the same time providing further leadership opportunities for Arrowmen.

There is no standard way the responsibilities in all chapters should be divided. A good key to follow; however, is that committees and functions should be organized into logically related groups. This allows those who serve as administrators of these divisions (officers) to be specialized to a certain degree. Knowledge always provides a higher quality of leadership. It can always be said that every organization can be improved. Some chapters find it useful to model their chapter after the organization of the lodge. This type of organization can be beneficial to both the chapter and lodge.

Not one type of chapter organization is correct, not one type of organization is incorrect, and not one of these must be permanent. Chapter rules establishing structure may have been written up to fifteen (15) years ago. If different or modified organization is needed, the following steps should be taken to improve the chapter structure:

• Study the situation carefully - haste and incompleteness will hurt you. • Get the advice and guidance of the advisers in the chapter and past chapter officers. • Be certain that the changes will make an improvement. • Don't just change for the sake of changing.

The best organization is the "simplest" that will suit the needs of the chapter.

All chapter officers must be under 21 years of age during their entire term of office. This information should be verified before their names are placed on the ballot. These Arrowmen should be elected on the basis of being the most capable.

Chapter Executive Committee

Who serves on the Chapter Executive Committee? The Chapter Executive Committee is made up of all the chapter officers, the Chapter and Staff Advisers, the Immediate Past Chapter Chief and the chairmen of the various committees within the chapter.

Who makes decisions and how are they made? Voting for action by this committee is limited to members under 21 years of age. Adults should feel free to state their points of view and reasons when serving as advisers to this committee. However, adults should encourage the youth Arrowmen to make their own plans and carry out the business of the chapter.

When and how often does the Chapter Executive Committee meet? The Chapter Executive Committee generally holds a regular meeting once a month or once every two (2) months to conduct the interim business of the chapter and to coordinate the plans for chapter programming. The Chapter Chief and the Chapter Adviser or Chapter Staff Adviser may call special meetings of the Chapter Executive Committee at any time.

How is the Chapter Executive Committee run? Two (2) simple courtesies should be used for the Chapter Executive Committee meetings - agenda and minutes. 1. Agendas are to be composed and sent out to the members of the chapter prior to the scheduled meeting time to allow the Chapter Executive Committee members to prepare for the business items to be discussed. 2. Minutes are a must. Each member should receive a copy of the minutes from the previous meeting. Without an accurate record of the events taking place, both plans and resolutions can be forgotten.

Committees

It is recommended that each chapter have the following basic committees: • Unit Elections • Service • Activities • Camp Promotion • Indian Affairs • Communications (phone committee) • Membership • Ad hoc or temporary committees (such as Vigil, nominating, large program event, et cetera.)

Other chapter committees may include: • Publications • Ordeal • Dance Team • Ceremonies • OA Troop/Team Representative • Public Relations • Training

Could there be a problem with too many committees? Too many committees can tie up a chapter in red tape. A chapter may not have the resources capable of operating a number of committees. Some of the chapter members could but should not handle more than their share of responsibility. A chapter could combine the duties of two committees into one. Committees should only be formed if there is a need.

What determines the number of committees a chapter will have? Need is a primary factor in determining which committees a chapter should have. Size and capacity also play an important role. A small chapter of 50 is wise to have only the eight basic committees. A chapter with 100 active members might choose to establish many committees, but they too must consider their resources. In this manner, many capable Arrowmen are offered some leadership experience and become involved.

What does it mean when there are too few committees? Too few committees represent a lack of delegation of responsibility. Remember responsibilities, jobs, and duties should be delegated. Important functions left undone and active Arrowmen willing to help, but not directly involved, are both signs of too few committees.

The committee chairman and his adviser. The next task to accomplish in working with committees is ensuring their smooth operation. The Chapter Chief appoints the chairmen of each committee. The next step is the establishment of a good working relationship between an adult and the chairman of the committee. The Chapter Adviser appoints the committee adviser in consultation with the Chapter Chief and the Staff Adviser. A strong "partnership" should exist between the chairman and his adviser.

Ways to obtain membership for the committees. Keeping in mind that an Arrowman's first duty is to his unit, the "ideal" situation in a chapter would occur if every member of the chapter served as a member of one of the chapter committees. As soon as a new member completes the Ordeal and is inducted into the Order, he should be given an opportunity to volunteer for service on one of the chapter committees. This will serve two (2) purposes: • It will provide manpower for the committees • It will keep the newly inducted Arrowmen interested and involved

The Order of the Arrow Key Three

Like it sounds, the Key Three is composed of three (3) people - the Chapter Chief, the Chapter Adviser, and the Chapter Staff Adviser. Below is a brief overview of each position’s responsibilities and qualifications.

Chapter Chief • Registered scout, one who is active in his own unit. • Must be under 21 years of age during his entire term of office • His leadership ability is the key to successful chapter operations.

Chapter Planning

Planning is a very important tool in determining any kind of chapter program. Every chapter in the lodge should hold at least one Chapter Executive Committee meeting devoted entirely to planning the chapter’s activities for the next twelve (12) to sixteen (16) months (16 months gives you a little flexibility in scheduling the next planning meeting).

The process of planning can be divided into three (3) major categories: goals and objectives, placing events on a calendar, and detail planning.

Goals and Objectives

Before the Chapter Executive Committee creates a plan it must decide on what it would like the chapter to accomplish in the coming year. Possible chapter goals may involve:

• Promoting Brotherhood attainment • Hold an election in every unit in the district • Increasing the number of community service projects performed • Send every chapter officer to Chapter Officer Training Day • Increasing attendance at Section Conclave or Lodge Pow Wow • Have a quality Ordeal • Improving the Chapter Camp Promotion Team • Increasing membership retention • Have quality chapter meetings

Once the general goals have been decided upon, the next step is to place all the events on a calendar.

Making a Calendar

With the chapter goals in mind, the Chapter Executive Committee should develop a calendar of events. Special care should be taken to avoid conflicts - consider school schedules and religious holidays in addition to council and district events. One of the first things to put on your calendar should be Lodge Executive Committee meetings, Section Conclave, Lodge Pow Wow, and the Lodge Banquet. An example of some of the items you should put on your calendar is on the following page.

Detailed Planning

Detailed planning for the whole year is nearly impossible. However, the planning meeting should be used to create a plan as detailed as possible for the chapter's activities for the next three (3) months. In making detailed plans for the chapter’s events, the following should be considered:

• THE TASK - Make sure you are fully informed as to the magnitude of the effort required. • RESOURCES - Before you commit to the task, make sure you have the resources available to do the task. • ALTERNATIVES – “If something can go wrong, it probably will.” Try to have an alternate plan. • EXECUTION - Plans are fine, but if you neglect to consider how to execute the plan, the plan will fail.

REMEMBER THE "P's" RULE: PROPER PRIOR PLANNING PREVENTS PITIFULLY POOR PERFORMANCE!

Lodge Service Project Approval Procedure

The Lodge Vice-Chief of Service will have the authority to approve chapter service projects.

Following completion of the project, chapters must submit a Wiatava Lodge Service Report to the Lodge Vice-Chief of Service within two (2) months for approval of chapter service hours. The Vice-Chief of Service will use the guidelines set forth below to approve or deny the project.

Projects concerning the following types of activities are acceptable: • Camp Promotion visitations (1 hour maximum per visitation). • Service to Scout camps (if unpaid). • Staff of district or council events. • Staff for community events. • Ordeal projects (work of both members and candidates may be counted). • Service to community. • Camp promotions • Indian dance demonstrations.

Projects concerning the following are unacceptable: • Projects in which the chapter or any member receives some type of material compensation for the project (not including meals during the project). • OA ceremonies, unit elections, or other official OA functions. • Staff for Chapter Ordeals. • Projects performed for any profit making company which will directly gain profit from the service (churches, governments, and community centers shall be considered non-profit).

Projects which were pre-approved and which did not markedly change from the original description should be accepted. There shall be no minimum number of chapter members required at any one project in order for the chapter to claim hours. There will be no limit to the number of hours that may be recorded per Arrowman per 24 hour work day provided that he/she has done the work for which he/she was logged. These hours shall not include time used for meals, travel, and/or breaks in the project. Sleep shall be considered rest and may not be counted even if the Arrowman is "on call" for the project. The chapter shall provide evidence that verifies each individual Arrowman’s hours. This verification may be in the form of a "sign in/sign out sheet".

All Service Projects must allow for eight (8) hours of sleep in accordance with the National Boy Scouts of America Policy. Any reports turned in where Arrowmen did not receive eight (8) hours of sleep will be returned for an explanation.

All day and all weekend service projects must have a sign in sheet included with the report stating the total number of hours worked per person and the times the person worked. Reports that do not have an explanation of hours earned will be returned.

Any Friends of the Valley or Campmaster hours for service can be turned in but will only count toward the total lodge hours. They will not be included in the chapter's hours for the Chapter Service Award given at the end of the year.

If a chapter's service project report is not accepted by the Lodge Vice-Chief of Service, the Chapter Chief will have the option of appealing the decision at any Lodge Executive Committee meeting. A vote must be taken and the decision of the Vice-Chief of Service can be overturned by a simple majority of the voting members present (half plus one).

A Wiatava Lodge Service Report must be submitted by the November Lodge Executive Committee meeting during the year in which it was held. A project which is completed in December following the Lodge Executive Committee meeting will be counted for service during the following year. For example, if a project was completed on September 13th, the report form must be submitted by the November Lodge Executive Committee meeting to be counted for chapter service hours. But the report must be submitted by the December LEC meeting to count for lodge service hours for that year. If, however, it was completed on December 6th, and the December Lodge Executive Committee meeting was on December 3rd, the report form must be submitted for service during the following year. The Lodge Executive Committee shall have the power to grant a one (1) week stay of the deadline. 51 www.wiatava.org • Council Office: 1211 East Dyer Road, Santa Ana, CA 92705-5605 • tel. 714.546.4990 • www.ocbsa.org WIATAVA Lodge 13 • Orange County Council • SECTION W-4S – Western Region • BSA, Order of the Arrow

Indian Affairs Program

Indian Affairs is one of the most important parts of our lodge program. This upcoming year is filled with many activities: Ordeal, Lodge Pow Wow, Section Conclave, Camporees, Scout-O-Rama, and more. At these functions Indian Affairs will play an important part of the program. To ensure an effective presence at these functions, the Lodge Indian Affairs program will provide you and your chapter the opportunity to learn and participate in some very unique events.

Ceremony Teams

Many of an Arrowman's first impressions about the Order come from the ceremonies he/she witnesses. Thus, the quality of your ceremonies can have a direct effect on the future success of your chapter. To put on an impressive ceremony, the team should learn their parts well in advance, practice the ceremony, and use impressive props and attire. Some resources for putting on an impressive ceremony are the Order of the Arrow Handbook, the Guide to Inductions, and workshops for ceremony teams.

Dance Team

The chapter can gain experience and exposure in the district and community by performing dances for troops, Cub Scout packs, or community organizations. When creating a dance team, always keep in mind authenticity and personal enjoyment. Some possible resources for starting a dance team are personal research, Indian hobbyist organizations, and experienced Arrowmen.

Indian Singing

Indian singing can complement any dance team. Interested Arrowmen should be given the opportunity to learn. Some resources for learning Indian singing include research through libraries and other repositories, talking to people with knowledge on the subject, and listening to recorded media.

Indian Attire

Encourage the interest of new members in making attire. Good chapter outfits (regalia) compliment all other areas of Indian Affairs. Group work allows Arrowmen to share ideas and methods of making attire. Some sources for attire design include research at libraries and museums, in addition to talking to experienced Arrowmen and Native Americans.

Sand Painting

Sand painting is one of the newest and fastest growing areas of our lodge program. Arrowmen have an opportunity to compete at the Section Conclave and Lodge Pow Wow. All age groups can compete in sand painting. Some sources for learning the skill include copying pictures in books and magazines, learning from those experienced in the craft, and watching others compete in Pow Wows and Conclaves.

The responsibilities of the Chapter Treasurer are outlined in the “Lodge Rules” portion of the plan book located in Appendix II, Rule II.E. The following procedures and standard forms should be reviewed thoroughly and used in the execution of the Treasurer's responsibility. If needed, the Lodge Treasurer, his adviser, and the Council Accounting Department will provide assistance.

Council Accounting Services and Procedures Wiatava Lodge 13, Order of the Arrow, is part of the program of the Boy Scouts of America, Orange County Council; therefore, it is subject to audit procedures as may be established by the Council Board of Directors. All financial transactions are subject to the Orange County Council yearly audit. All checks made payable to the Boy Scouts of America must have the official council stamps, and be endorsed by the Orange County Council, and deposited through the council’s normal banking procedures.

The lodge and all chapters must prepare an annual budget. These budgets should include all projected income and expenses for the coming year. Chapter budgets must be submitted to the Lodge Treasurer by the February Lodge Executive Committee meeting. The Lodge Treasurer must submit the Lodge budget for approval at the January Lodge Executive Committee meeting. The budgets are controlled by the Executive Committee of the lodge or chapter respectively.

At the end of each month, the Treasurer prepares a financial report showing all receipts and expenditures for the past month and year to date. The lodge and chapters should use the “Running Record of Income and Expenditures” sheets and the “Itemized Record of Income and Expenditures” sheets included herein.

Chapter and Lodge Events

An activity budget should be prepared for each lodge or chapter event where $500.00 or more is required to operate. This budget must have the approval of the applicable Key Three. The budget is for your protection and is used to ensure that proper planning has taken place. All moneys will be deposited to the appropriate chapter or lodge account. Bills will be paid against the same accounts by purchase order, request for check, or journal entry. Use of these items will be discussed later. See sample “Activity Cost Worksheet”.

Purchase Orders

All purchases for the chapter and lodge should be made by purchase order. Examples are for Ordeal supplies and food, Lodge Pow Wow food, banquets, patches, souvenir items, et cetera. The council will issue all purchase orders upon request with the approval of the Chapter Staff Adviser for chapters and the Lodge Staff Adviser for the lodge. Purchase orders also require the approval of the Director of Support Services or his designee.

Request for Check Procedure

Chapter or lodge bills and/or advances may be paid by check.

Obtain and prepare a “Check Request” (see example). Be sure to include the address of the person or organization for whom the check is to be made payable. Clearly identify the item and cost description and the account to be charged for each item and the associated cost for reach. Also, clearly print the name of the person making the request. You must attach all receipts.

Chapter request must be approved by the Chapter Adviser or his designee (in writing) and the Chapter Staff Adviser. Lodge requests must be approved by the Lodge Treasurer, Lodge Treasurer Adviser, Lodge Adviser, and the Lodge Staff Adviser. No payments of any kind will be made without the approval of the Director of Support Services or his designee. Allow at least ten (10) working days before you need the check.

Journal Entry Memos

During the year, special events are conducted by the lodge that requires the chapter to make reservations and payments. These include:

• Lodge Banquet • Lodge Pow Wow • Ordeal • Dues • Section Conclave

These events will be handled in the following manner: The chapter is responsible for the collection and deposit of fees into the chapter account at the Council Service Center on or before the deadline for reservations. Journal entries will be made by charging the chapter account and crediting the lodge account or other appropriate account.

71 www.wiatava.org • Council Office: 1211 East Dyer Road, Santa Ana, CA 92705-5605 • tel. 714.546.4990 • www.ocbsa.org WIATAVA Lodge 13 • Orange County Council • SECTION W-4S – Western Region • BSA, Order of the Arrow

Journal entry memos must be approved by the Chapter Chief, Chapter Adviser or designee, Staff Adviser and the Council Budget Committee. Two (2) copies will be made with the original going to the council accountant and a copy for the chapter. (See the attached “Journal Entry Memo” example).

Petty Cash

Each chapter is allowed to have a petty cash fund to supplement small weekly and monthly out-of-pocket expenses approved by the Chapter Key Three. This fund may not exceed $120.00. The fund can be set up or replenished by submitting receipts of previous expenses (use the enclosed report) and a check request. The request must be approved by the Chapter Adviser or Chapter Staff Adviser and the Director of Support Services or his designee. Allow at least ten (10) working days for the preparation of the check.

Requisition for Merchandise

From time to time chapters may wish to purchase supplies from the National Supply Scout Shop. This should be planned in advance of a trip to the Council Service Center and must be approved by your Chapter Staff Adviser. All items purchased must be paid for and cannot be returned to the Scout Shop. Either a purchase order or a request for check should be completed at the time the items are ordered.

Cash Deposits

All cash deposits must be made at the volunteer service desk at the Council Service Center in Santa Ana. Individuals making a deposit must be sure that they receive a receipt and that the council makes a duplicate receipt. These receipts must be annotated with the name of the person making the deposit, the chapter name and what the money is for. If it is for more than one item, each item must be listed. You will need a copy of these receipts in order to keep your chapter financial records up to date.

Receipts

Field Receipt books of 50 printed three (3) part forms are provided to each Chapter Treasurer as needed. There receipts represent cash or checks that have been given to the chapter. The Chapter Treasurer will issue a receipt for all money, checks, dues, activities, events, etc. given to him during the year. The receipt will contain the following information: name, amount, what the money is given for, the date, and signature of the person writing the receipt.

The original copy goes to the person giving you the money. The pink copy is turned into the Council Service Center with the money. The yellow copy stays with the receipt book. All money and pink receipts should be deposited on a regular basis and no longer than 1 month after receipt. Deposits should be made by the 3rd week of the month so that the Accounting Office has time to post into the account and have the current print out by the Lodge Executive Committee meeting.

Fully used receipt books must be turned into the Lodge Treasurer before a new book can be issued (whenever possible). You may not hold more than three (3) receipt books at any single time. Books will be signed in and out at the Lodge Executive Committee meeting.

OA Troop/Team Representative

2019 Wiatava Lodge OA Troop Representative

If you have any questions about the responsibilities of the Chapter Treasurer, the Lodge Treasurer and his adviser may be reached at the following:

Email: [email protected]

An Order of the Arrow Troop/Team Representative is a youth liaison serving between the local chapter and his troop/team. In his troop/team, he serves as a communication and program link to the Arrowmen, adult leaders, and Scouts who are not presently members of the Order of the Arrow. He does this in a fashion that strengthens the mission of the lodge and purpose of the Order of the Arrow. By setting a good example, he enhances the image of the Order of the Arrow as a service arm to his troop/team.

OA Troop/Team Representative Duties:

• Serves as a communication link between the lodge or chapter and the troop/team. • Encourages year round and resident camping in the troop/team. • Encourages older Scouts participation in high adventure programs. • Encourages Scouts to actively participate in community service projects. • Assists with leadership skills training in the troop/team. • Encourages Arrowmen to assume leadership positions in the troop/team. • Encourages Arrowmen in the troop/team to be active participants in the lodge and/or chapter activities and to seal their membership in the Order by becoming Brotherhood members. • Sets a good example. • Enthusiastically wears the Scout uniform correctly. • Lives by the Scout Oath, Scout Law, and OA Obligation. • Shows Scout spirit.

OA Troop/Team Representative Qualifications:

• Under eighteen (18) years old • Appointed by the SPL with SM approval • An OA member in good standing • Reports to the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader

The Chapter Chief should appoint a Troop/Team Representative Chairman (OA Rep) to the Chapter Executive Committee. He should serve under the Vice-Chief most applicable to the program (such as, Vice-Chief of Camp Promotion, Vice-Chief of Service, etc.) In a large lodge and/or chapter it would be difficult for one chairman to field all of the OA Representatives. Therefore, the chairman should have a set number of liaisons underneath him. An Arrowman should only coordinate with five (5) to seven (7) OA Representatives. This will keep him from being overwhelmed. The fewer Scouts with which he must coordinate, the better he will do!

The Lodge Chief should appoint a chairman on the lodge level who will serve on the Lodge Executive Committee under the Lodge Vice-Chief most applicable to the program. He will be in charge of coordinating with the Vice-Chief of Camp Promotion, Vice-Chief of Activities, Lodge Secretary, Lodge Editor, and others to make sure that the OA Reps receive the most current information on what they should be doing in their home troops and teams. The OA Representative Chairman will be responsible for bringing information to the chapter, troop, or team requests and providing support for their programs.

The OA Representative Chairman should keep an updated roster of the OA Rep’s in each troop/team. This information can be obtained by mailing out an OA Rep Registration form at the beginning of the year.

Chapter Advisers

Every adult in the chapter is an adviser. If a chapter chief works well with his advisers, he can gain much experience and make fewer mistakes. All members 21 years and over are considered adult advisers.

The Role of the Adult Advisers

The most important role of adult advisers is to keep the leadership of the chapter in the hands of the elected officers. This cannot be over emphasized (see the Order of the Arrow Guide for Officers and Advisers). This puts adults in a key position to help bring and maintain effective chapter administration that assures the successful operation of the chapter. They should look upon their role in the Order of the Arrow as an opportunity to give guidance to the youth that help them develop leadership abilities.

How Does the Adviser Operate?

Chapter volunteer and staff advisers should support the purpose of the Order of the Arrow and give active leadership to it. They accomplish this by counseling guidance, which leaves the direct leadership of the chapter in the hands of the elected officers. (Order of the Arrow Guide for Officers and Advisers)

Advisers are in the Order of the Arrow to assist youth Arrowmen; however, they should be informed of what is happening. They also want to share their opinions and advice. It is a good practice for youth Arrowmen to send to their advisers a copy of all OA materials or letters written.

Advisers with a high level of experience know the “do's and don'ts” about lodge and national policy. Therefore, they can sometimes better interpret policies and communicate with higher level advisers. They can also provide special equipment, transportation, and encouragement in times of need; however, the officers need to make their own decisions.

Lodge and chapter officers should strive to cultivate personal relationships with their advisers. Advisers should also be persuaded to work with the officers on particular matters in which the adviser has some expertise.

The youth discussions and balloting will take place first. Each youth committee member, including the Lodge Vigil Chief, shall vote for each listed candidate by placing an "X" in the block in the ballot for YES or leaving it blank for NO. The completed ballots will be turned in to the Lodge Vigil Adviser. The ballots will be counted and recorded on a master ballot (identical to the one used in the vote) by at least three (3) Vigil Honor members in attendance, including the Lodge Vigil Adviser, and signed in the spaces provided. The committee members can vote yes on as many nominees as the lodge is allowed for that year. To be elected, a nominee must receive at least 50% of the vote.

Section Awards

Niganet Award

The Niganet Award will be based on each lodges overall performance at Conclave. This year the section has opted not to include a score sheet due to the amount of events. The awards will be an enumeration of the total competitions for the weekend (excluding Spirit). Emphasis will be placed on team-building activities, all competitions (Sports and Indian Affairs), and administrative events. Each event being scored will be assigned points based on the Lodge's performance in each area.

5 points for Superb 4 points for Excellent 3 points for Good

The winner will be determined by adding the total number of points for each event being scored. The winner will be announced at the closing ceremony on Sunday.

Traveling Ram Award

The Traveling Ram award is rewarded to the lodge at the conclave with the highest attendance percentage. The results from this award will be derived from the total attendance from the lodge at the event divided by the membership total in their last charter as a lodge. This award will be given out at the closing ceremony on Sunday morning.

Cimarron Award

The Cimarron Award recognizes lodges that fully participate at the Section W4S Conclave. Unlike other traditional awards, any lodge can receive the award. The award provides a level playing field for all lodges, allow lodges large and small to participate, and for the chance for every Lodge to walk home with an award to be proud of should they choose. The lodge is required to fully participate in the competitions, events, and training.

Spirit Award

The Spirit Award is presented annually at the Section W4S Conclave to the lodge that has the best overall spirit at the Section Conclave for that year. Emphasis is placed on a lodge’s spirit yells, cohesiveness as a lodge, uniform ethic, usage of spirit items (“gigs”), and overall Scout spirit. Participation in competitions, training, shows, and special events also influence the decision for the Spirit Award.

National Awards

Distinguished Service Award

The Distinguished Service Award was created in 1940 to honor those who rendered service to the Order beyond the lodge level. The award is presented to those Arrowmen who have rendered distinguished and outstanding service to the Order on a sectional, regional, or national basis. Since the time of the first awards given in 1940, approximately 500 Distinguished Service Awards have been presented.

The award is a sterling silver arrowhead, bearing an arrow pointing upward and to the wearer's right, suspended from a white neck-ribbon upon which are embroidered red arrows. A white square knot embroidered upon red cloth is also available. Presentation of the award is limited and nominations are open to both youth and adult.

E. Urner Goodman Camping Award

The award was established in 1969 as a tribute and testimonial to the Order's founder, E. Urner Goodman. Its purpose is to encourage and challenge Order of the Arrow members and lodges to increase their effectiveness in promoting and increasing Scout camping in each council. Awards are presented to two outstanding lodges in each region annually.

Innovation Award

The Order of the Arrow Innovation Award was established in 2012 to recognize chapters and lodges for developing creative and innovative solutions to challenges faced during the implementation of their annual program plans. Two awards in each Region are presented annually.

National Service Award

The National Service Award was established in 1999 to recognize lodges in each region that have performed outstanding service, both in a qualitative and a quantitative sense, to their council. The National Service Award Petition is submitted along with the lodge recharter application. To be considered for the National Service Award, a lodge must be certified as a National Quality Lodge the year in which the National Service Award Petition is submitted. Two lodges per region will be granted the National Service Award each year.

The National Service Award petition requires lodges to submit information on current lodge membership (the size of a lodge is a factor when considering the magnitude of the service it has provided), a detailed description of the largest and most meaningful service project the lodge has completed for its council, and a record of all service performed by the lodge for the council since the last recharter process. Service for this award is defined as any project that has directly benefited the Scouting program in the council.

National Service Grant

One of the four fold purposes of the Order of the Arrow is "to crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others." It is with this spirit of cheerful service to others that the Order proudly offers the matching service grant program.

For several years, the National Order of the Arrow Committee has provided matching service award grants for a limited number of projects submitted by application to the national office. Respective council offices receive letter notification from the national office when they are awarded the grant.

Matching grant money is given to lodges for camp or service center projects in their local council. The Order will provide up to one-half of the money for a service project, with a $5,000 maximum amount granted for any lodge project.

All Service Grant Applications must be submitted to the national office by October 31st, for projects to be done the following year. 101 www.wiatava.org • Council Office: 1211 East Dyer Road, Santa Ana, CA 92705-5605 • tel. 714.546.4990 • www.ocbsa.org WIATAVA Lodge 13 • Orange County Council • SECTION W-4S – Western Region • BSA, Order of the Arrow

Chapter Achievement Program

The Chapter Achievement Program or CAP is the way that each chapter reports to the lodge on how effective their chapter was throughout the course of the year. For each chapter’s CAP presentation, each chief will be given a 5 minute time frame to summarize their year as a whole. The time can be used to highlight the successes or some of the low points in the year so that the Lodge Board can focus on some of the downfalls and make sure to improve on them in the next year.

A question and answer forum from each of the board members will then commence for any details that they would like from the submitted CAP report book. These questions can be related to their board position or for personal knowledge about any activities or numbers submitted in the CAP. The lodge board is looking for ways of improving the chapters each year. This is a way for us to look at how chapters are doing and what can be improved upon in the upcoming year. It is not intended to be a stressful ordeal or to cause any doubt on how the chapter has performed in the past year.

The CAP report book should include and only include the following in this order:

1. Chapter Achievement Program points sheet found on page 98 in the Lodge Planbook 2. Completed Journey to Excellence (JTE): Chapter found on pages 102 – 103 in the Lodge Planbook 3. Year End Report found on page 35 in the Lodge Planbook 4. Chapter Camp Promotion Award found on page 100 in the Lodge Planbook 5. Individual Camping Promotion Award (s) found on page 101 in the Lodge Planbook 6. Ordeal Report(s)- Include all Unit Election Reports (no medical forms) 7. Chapter Planbook & Budget 8. Chapter Monthly Report 9. Pre-Ordeal Checklists (up until May/June) 10. Service Report 11. Camp Promotion Report 12. Indian Affairs Roster and Report 13. Chapter Meeting Agendas 14. Chapter Newsletter 15. Chapter Activity Calendar 16. Chapter Activity Flyers

Please group items 8-16 in this order by month, starting in January through December. Each month should be separated with dividers and labeled.

The results from the CAP in conjunction with the JTE and the Year End report will determine the Chapter of the Year, Chapter Camp Promotion Award, Chapter Service Award, and the Most Improved Chapter

A Heritage of Service The Order of the Arrow was originally designed as an Honor Camper society for just one camp, and as it spread, it replaced scores of similar organizations serving local council camps. One of these was the Tribe of Gorgonio. The Tribe of Gorgonio had been created around 1926 at the Orange County Council’s Camp Rokili in the San Bernardino Mountains. One of the highlights of the camp’s program had always been a hike up Mt. San Gorgonio. These treks gave the Tribe its name, and remained an important part of its initiation.

Originally, the Tribe of Gorgonio had four ranks: Brave, Warrior, Medicine Man, and Chief. Then around 1931 Scout Executive H. E. “Pop” White stepped in as the Tribe’s sole Chief, and the four ranks became Neophyte, Brave, Warrior, and Medicine Man. Scouts could advance only one rank a year if they were elected by the other Tribe members in camp – and passed increasingly difficult initiations.

After Pop White’s death in December of 1943, the Tribe only survived for one more summer, under the leadership of Medicine Man E. H. “Red” Knaus. In 1945, shortly after Orange County had been split into two councils, Gorgonio Lodge 298 was chartered to the Orange Empire Area Council. While some of the old Tribe of Gorgonio members regretted the Tribe’s passing, others like Bob Boyle, Gorgonio’s first adviser, felt that the new program would be a stronger one. The new lodge was inducted in May of 1945, and Elbert Clarke of Laguna Beach was elected the first chief. Beginning around 1947 the lodge was renamed San Gorgonio Lodge and was first chartered under that name in 1949. The new lodge also had close ties to Camp Rokili. In 1949 they held the first of 24 Fall Pow Wows there. Another important early activity was the annual Indian pageant held between 1952 and 1960.

In 1956 San Gorgonio Lodge held its first Vigil ceremony, and in 1957 the first annual dinner was held. 1956 was also the first year the lodge issued a flap to its members. By the late 1950’s Orange County was growing at a tremendous rate, and San Gorgonio’s membership soared. More and more clans (later called chapters) were added to serve local Arrowmen. This growth also forced the council to replace Rokili with a new, larger camp, Lost Valley Scout Reservation, which opened in 1964. San Gorgonio Lodge continued to serve the Orange Empire Area Council until 1972, when Orange County Council was reformed.

Originally the Northern Orange County Council did not have a lodge of its own. Since both councils were still using Camp Rokili, the north county Scouts were inducted into San Gorgonio Lodge as well. In 1948, when the Lodge formed its first clans, the north county members were grouped together as Anaheim Clan. As early as 1946 the Northern Orange County Council had considered forming its own lodge, but it was not until 1949 that the real work of organizing a lodge began, and on February 21, 1950, Ahwahnee Lodge 430 was granted a charter by the National Office with Don Piantoni as Chief and Red Knaus as Adviser.

In 1954, when the council acquired its own camp near Green Valley Lake, it was also named Ahwahnee. The work of building and staffing the new camp provided a major project for the lodge for many years. Another important emphasis during those years was the Lodge Indian Dance Team. In 1961, Ahwahnee Lodge inducted its first Vigils in a ceremony at Camp Ahwahnee. By 1967, the lodge had grown so large that more responsibility had to be transferred to the chapters to keep it running smoothly. The merger of these two councils that reformed Orange County Council in 1972 meant the eventual merger of the two lodges. For five months a joint committee worked to hammer out the details, hoping to perpetuate the best of both lodges.

December 31, 1972 marked the end of both lodges, and on January 1, 1973, Wiatava Lodge 13 officially began. The lodge number was the lowest available at the time. Wiatava is the Cupeño Indian name for what we now know as Lost Valley. The word is translated into “Valley of the Oaks.” The other names suggested had been Saddleback, Ketemague, Diegueño, Eulauchsitt, and Gabrillaño.

The first official lodge function was the January 13, 1973 banquet, highlighted by the election of Charlie Wisdom as Wiatava’s first Lodge Chief. Spring Ordeals followed at both Lost Valley and Ahwahnee. From 1973 to 1978, the Lodge Pow Wows alternated between the two camps, beginning with Lost Valley in 1973, and on to Ahwahnee in 1978. Since then, all Lodge Pow Wows have been held at Lost Valley. Over the years both Navajo and Pang Lodges have been invited as guests to the Lodge Pow Wow.

Again, Orange County’s growth brought changes to the lodge’s structure. The original chapters in 1973 were Ahwahnee, Amimi, Denali (merged with Ahwahnee in 1976), Koshare, Los Amigos (became Crow in 1979), MagaTaskozu, Santee, Ta Tanka, Tenaja, Tiwahinkpe (became Tsungoni in 1976), and Woapalanne (merged with Tenaja in 1976).

In 1980, Koshare Chapter was split and the northern half became Modoc Chapter. In 1983, several districts were realigned. Tenaja was split into Tenaja and Anasazi. Parts of Tsungoni went to Koshare and Ta Tanka and what remained was named Apatschin Chapter. Later, Apatschin merged into Ta Tanka. Due to district realignment in 2008, Ahwahnee was absorbed by Crow and Santee. In 2013, both Ta Tanka and Tenaja split creating 2 additional chapters, Tsungoni and Woapalanne.

In January 2017, realignment of districts continued and the two chapters that had only split 4 years ago merged back together making Tenaja and Woapalanne into Woja Chapter. The name being part of both old chapters and the history with them continue. Change
