Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed.

All Rights Reserved. August, 2014 DEDICATION Dedicated To Those Who Came Before By Those Of Us Here In The Present For Those Who Come After Us We are Withlacoochee Lodge of the Order of the Arrow, South Georgia Council, Boy Scouts of America. We are members of Scouting's National Honor Society all of whom were chosen by our fellow scouts to receive that honor. We are a service organization aiding and assisting camping in the council whenever and wherever needed. We are bound together by a unique experience in the lives of young men, one of the last true tests of both physical and mental endurance, which is known as The Ordeal. We share memories of nights alone under the stars, of arduous tasks for the betterment of others, and of the feast on Saturday night. We share memories of torches seen moving afar off in the woods, of the smell of council fires burning bright and of ceremonies late at night and deep in woods of camp. We share memories of joining together with others brothers for Fellowships, Conclaves and Conferences. In time, our brothers move on and some leave us forever, but we will all forever be the WIMACHTENDIENK, WINGOLAUCHSIK, WITAHEMUI! Therefore, in conjunction with the Centennial of the Order of the Arrow, this book The History of Withlacoochee Lodge, South Georgia Council, BSA is presented to the National Order of the Arrow Committee.

In order to show progress, a unit is counted if it has been contacted at least once by January/February, two times by March/April, three times by May/June, four times by July/August, five times by September/October and six times by November/December. For example, a unit that was not contacted until March will not be counted in January or February, but will count in March, if it receives two contacts that month. At the end of the year a unit needs at least six total contacts to be counted. Contacts are counted by the date they are entered into Commissioner Tools, not by the actual date of the contact or visit.

The was filled with accomplishments cementing the OA’s role as a youth leadership development and service organization. From our largest-ever service initiative at a National Scout Jamboree, to the plans for a national service project in 2023, Arrowmen are committing to a second century of service in ways that expands our legacy while challenging us to continue delivering on our purpose. National Leadership Seminars will continue training the nation’s top youth leaders with a refreshed program updated to match cutting edge leadership theory. OA High Adventure programs have grown to further service and new locations, sending hundreds of Arrowmen on unparalleled adventures at BSA High Adventure bases. 2017 saw the Order of the Arrow enthusiastically embrace its fourfold purpose, and we could not be prouder to have led the way. While this report focuses on specific national achievements, the true measure of our success is the progress made in individual lodges.

    Dear Brother, from August 3Rd to August 8Th, 2015, the Order of The

    July 2, 2014 Dear Brother, From August 3rd to August 8th, 2015, the Order of the Arrow will be celebrating its 100th Anniversary by holding the 32nd National Order of the Arrow Conference at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. This event will bring 10,000 Arrowmen from all across America together for a week of fun, fellowship, learning and exciting entertainment. The Order of the Arrow lodge of South Georgia Council is planning to take 30 Withlacoochee Lodge Arrowmen to NOAC and we want you to join us! By attending, you will get the opportunity to experience the pinnacle of Scouting events. A National Order of the Arrow Conference is unlike any other Scouting event. This rich experience will leave a lifetime of memories. The Order of the Arrow holds its national conference about every other year, but this Conference will be the largest in the history of the Order. From learning about the history of our Order, to exciting shows, to excellent leadership and character building sessions, to making new friends from across the nation; this is an excellent way to rekindle your passion for Scouting. If you have not already achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, going to NOAC may give you the boost you need to complete your advancement. If you are an Eagle Scout, going to NOAC will inspire you to use the skills you developed to help the next Scout reach his goals, and to give back to Scouting. Involvement in the Order of the Arrow has proven to enrich many Scouts’ journey, and we hope you’ll take advantage of this once in a lifetime experience.
