Page 2 Our Lodge Emblem
The legend that is told of the birth of Tecumseh informs us that his father was looking for an omen. At the moment of the child’s birth, a green comet, the color of a panther’s eye, shot across the sky. Thus he was named, in the language of the Shawnee, Tecumseh. It’s meaning “panther crossing across.” To represent this historic leader’s birth, we have chosen the form of a panther-shaped comet. The flap of our Lodge shows the unsomo, or birth sign of the panther streaking across the sky at the moment of Tecumseh’s birth. The twelve stars on the flap are representative of the twelve points of the Scout Law. The four stars to the left of the arrow represent the 4 lodges that came together to form Tecumseh Lodge: Katinonkwat, Kaniengehaga, Maka-Ina, and Shawnee. The red arrowhead and shaft are the symbol of our order, pointing on an ever upward path. As the sign of our order the arrow has been fitly chosen, for the first arrow of the hunter must be sure. The shaft should be straight, its point ever keen. As such it becomes a token of leadership, and as such we adopt it. The three W’s, as on all OA patches, stand for the name of the Order of the Arrow in Lenni Lenape, Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui.

Page 9 Your Tecumseh Lodge Dues
To maintain your membership in the Order of The Arrow and Tecumseh Lodge you need to pay your dues each year. If you are not a dues paid member you lose the right to call yourself a member of the Order of the Arrow. If you are not a member of the OA you also lose the right to wear the Lodge Flap or other symbols or patches for the OA. You must be registered in a Simon Kenton Council Scouting unit to be a member of Tecumseh Lodge.
When Do I Need To Pay My Dues? Our Lodge year is from January 1st to December 31st, so your dues need to be paid at the beginning of each calendar year.
I'm a Newer Member - Weren't my dues included in my Ordeal fee? If you took your Ordeal within the last year, your Ordeal fees included your dues through the end of the calendar year in which you took your Ordeal. You would next need to pay your dues at the beginning of the next calendar year. A calendar year is from January 1st to December 31st.
How Can I Pay My Dues? You can pay your dues several ways: By Mail - using the paper dues form which can be found on the “Forms” page of our website or in our newsletters. On Line - Just click on the "Pay Your Lodge Dues" link on our website. In Person - You can pay in person at any lodge event or at our lodge booth at the University of Scouting.
I have not paid my dues for a long time, how can I become a member again? If you have not paid dues for a while it's easier to join again than you think. Just fill out the form as completely as possible, pay $20.00 and we will re-instate you.
I know someone who would like to transfer into Tecumseh Lodge from another lodge, how can they do it? All they need to do is click on the "Pay Your Lodge Dues" link on our website and follow the instructions for transferring. They can also fill out the paper dues form and send it in along with as much information about their previous membership as they can gather and we can transfer them into Tecumseh Lodge. We will contact their previous lodge to confirm their membership. The cost is only $20.00. They must be registered with a unit in Simon Kenton Council to be a member of Tecumseh Lodge.

Page 10 AWARDS
The Order of the Arrow provides opportunities for its members to excel and be recognized for their accomplishments. These recognitions are provided at two levels of the organization, either at the local lodge level or at the National level. Individual members may be recognized or entire lodges. The awards and honors provided here are standard throughout the organization. Individual lodges may form and provide their own local awards such as “Brother of the Year”, “Most Active Arrowman”, and other achievement awards.
ARROWMAN SERVICE AWARD The purpose of the Arrowman Service Award (ASA) is to encourage Arrowmen to recommit themselves to the ideals of the Order, increase their level of service to their local unit and council.
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD The Distinguished Service Award is presented to Arrowmen, youth and adult, who have rendered distinguished and outstanding service to the Order on a sectional, regional, or national basis.
E. URNER GOODMAN CAMPING AWARD The E. Urner Goodman 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. For a lodge to be eligible for consideration, the E. Urner Goodman Camping Award petition should be completed and forwarded with the lodge’s charter renewal application.
FOUNDER’S AWARD Introduced at the 1981 National Order of the Arrow Conference, the Founder’s Award recognizes Arrowmen who have given outstanding service to their lodge. The award is reserved for an Arrowman who demonstrates that he or she personifies the spirit of selfless service, as advocated by founder E. Urner Goodman and cofounder Carroll A. Edson.
INNOVATION AWARD RECIPIENTS 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.
JOSH SAIN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP This scholarship was established in 1998 to honor the spirit and the memory of Josh Sain, a former National Vice Chief of the Order of the Arrow. The scholarships are provided to immediate past National and Regional Officers, and immediate past section chiefs upon completion of their successful service of their terms. All awards are selected on merit and based on performance in their respective roles and academic achievements while serving in one of the roles mentioned above.
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD The Legacy of Servant Leadership Lifetime Achievement Award was created by the National Order of the Arrow Committee in 2002 to recognize the Order’s second and third generation “Founders” - Scouters who have built an enduring legacy to Scouting and the Order of the Arrow through a lifetime of cheerful service to others.
Page 11 AWARDS CONTINUED
J. MAURY CLANCY INDIAN CAMPERSHIP FUND This campership fund was created in 1971 to help provide funds to those American Indian Scouts needing assistance to attend resident camp. The fund was subsequently named in memory of long- time national committee member Maury Clancy, who contributed significantly to the Order. Mr. Clancy emphasized the significance of our nation’s American Indian culture and worked to encourage the preservation of our American Indian heritage. Lodges may contribute to this fund through their section at will, thereby increasing the fund and enabling more camperships to be awarded.
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.
OA 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.
RED ARROW AWARD The Red Arrow award was created in 1967 to recognize individuals who are not members of the Order of the Arrow, for outstanding service to the Order. This attractive award, a red arrow and medallion superimposed on an engraved plaque, and a miniature charm for civilian wear, can only be awarded by action of the National Order of the Arrow Committee. Recommendations, by nomination form, should be sent to the national director.
THE VIGIL HONOR The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members for service to lodge, council, and Scouting. Membership cannot be won by a person’s conscious endeavors.

Page 24 The Legend of the Order of the Arrow Years ago, in the dim ages, In the Valley of the Delaware, Lived a peaceful tribe of Indians - Lenni Lenape their name was. Deer and bear, wildcat and panther through the forest oft they hunted. On the bosom of the river Peacefully they fished and paddled.
Round their busy village wigwams still the chase they nimbly followed. In this state of bliss so happy Many moons they lived contented, Springtime blossomed into summer, Summer into autumn ripened, Autumn died on winter's bosom; Thus the seasons in succession Never ending seemed to pass on.
But, behold, a cloud arising Changed how soon this peaceful aspect. Neighboring tribes, and distant enemies, Suddenly disturbed their hunting. Then Chingachgook, aged chieftain Of the tribe, made quick inquiry: "Who will go and carry warning Of this dire and dreadful danger To all Delawares, our brothers?" But none wished to make the journey. Then spoke up the noble Uncas, Worthy son of the old chieftain, "O my father, I am ready; Send me on this gracious errand. If we would remain a nation, we must stand by one another. Let us both urge on our kindred firm devotion to our brethren and our cause, Ourselves forgetting, Let us catch the higher vision. Let us find the greater beauty In the life of cheerful service."
Off upon the trail they started, Old Chingachgook and young Uncas; And in every tribal village Some were found who were quite willing To spend themselves in other's service. When at last the fierce marauders Were forced back to their own country And peace was declared between them, They who first themselves had offered For the service of their brethren, To the places most respected By the chieftain were promoted: For, said he, who serves his fellows Is, of all his fellows, greatest!
As a seed dropped by the sower On good soil bears quick fulfillment: So this saying of their chieftain In their hearts found glad acceptance And they asked that in some manner He should make its memory lasting.
So together fast and firmly Chief Chingachgook bound these warriors In a great and honored Order, Into which can be admitted Only those who their own interests Can forget in serving others. And so firm must be their purpose So to live that their companions, Taking note of their devotion, Shall propose them to the Order, We, therefore, to them succeeding To the present day perpetuate The names and tokens of this Brotherhood of Cheerful Service Called by Delawares: Wimachtendienk - Wingolauchsik - Witahemui.

Page 26 ABOUT THE ORDER OF THE ARROW
HISTORY
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.
PURPOSE
The Order of the Arrow was founded in 1915 to serve a useful purpose: to cause the Scout Oath and Law to spring into action in all parts of the nation. To this day, the Order is dedi- cated to this high purpose.
MISSION AND PURPOSE
For more than 90 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. This recognition provides encouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long term resident camping, and providing cheerful service to others. OA service, activities, adventures, and training for youth and adults are models of quality leadership development and programming that enrich and help to extend Scouting to America's youth.
The Order of the Arrow has over 170,000 members nationwide.

Page 29 THE JOURNEY FROM ORDEAL MEMBERSHIP TO BROTHERHOOD
Your completion of the Ordeal sets you on the next part of your long and toilsome journey; at least 6 full months of active preparation for sealing your membership in the Brotherhood Ceremony. The Ordeal has introduced you to the mysteries of the Arrow. Now, during your service as an Ordeal member, you have ample opportunity to increase your knowledge of the Arrow and make it work for you. The following gives all the basic information you will need during this important time. Your brothers in the Order stand ready to help also, and you should take advantage of their support whenever possible.
The Challenges of Ordeal Membership
You must meet five challenges before you can enter the Circle of Brotherhood. The first of these you should meet now. The next three require steady effort over a period of many months. The last challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you are meeting the first four.
1. Memorize the signs of Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card). Also, memorize the Order of the Arrow song, the Admonition, the Sign of Ordeal Member- ship, and the Arrow handclasp.
2. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal. Gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you have passed. Obtain a copy of the Manual for the Ordeal, or attend other Ordeal Ceremonies and learn more about what you have experienced.
3. Serve your Unit. Retain your registration in Scouting. During a period of at least 10 months, strive to fulfill your Obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your own Troop or Post.
4. Plan for service to your Lodge. Retain your registration in the Order of the Arrow Lodge and keep your dues paid. Be aware that acceptance of Brotherhood membership involves a pledge of service to the lodge. Develop a concrete idea of how you plan to fulfill this pledge.
5. Review your Progress. When you earnestly feel that you have met the four challenges above, write a letter to the Brotherhood Chairman. In this letter: A. Explain what you think the Obligation means.
B. Describe how you have been fulfilling this Obligation in your troop or post and in your daily life, and how you have used your understanding of the Ordeal to aid in this service.
C. Describe your specific plans for giving service in the lodge program. Page 30 YOU AND YOUR UNIT
An Arrowman's primary responsibility is to his troop or post. Remember, it was your fellow scouts or explorers who elected you into our noble order, and it is to them that you should devote most of your service. Dr. E. Urner Goodman, founder of the Order, once said, " Let it be remembered that the Order of the Arrow was created to help the unit - to help it present its membership a better idea of the inner qualities of the honor scout camper.
Qualities of character, like cheerfulness and service, are hard for a boy or a man to understand in the abstract. They come easier when seen in human life.
The Order was started to help glorify these qualities of the honor Scout Camper in the unit, so that they might be appreciated there, not only during the brief term in summer camp, but through all of the days and weeks of the year."
Let us remember the significance of the Order in the unit - for the unit is our one best hope in Scouting..."
What are your responsibilities in your home troop or post? You should make sure that your unit maintains an active camping program and that as many members as possible are involved. Be sure your lodge camp promotion team visits your unit at least once a year and that you have an annual Order of the Arrow election. Your unit should help the lodge give service to as many community projects as possible. It is also most important that you keep your unit members informed on current happenings of the lodge and in the local council.
YOUR RELATION TO YOUR UNIT
Always remember that your fellow Scouts honored you by electing you to the Order because of your Scout Spirit and camping ability. They set you apart as one from whom they expect a great deal. Your experience with the Ordeal should now enable you to give the leadership they want and need. For this reason, your first duty as an Arrowman is to continue and expand your service to your own troop or post. The success of the Order in your unit mainly depends on what you do individually. Your example of cheerful service in camp and at troop or post meetings is the spark that brings the spirit alive.
By striving to fulfill your Obligation you will not only help your fellow Scouts, you will also gain the experience needed to understand the Brotherhood membership.
Page 31 HOW THE ORDER OF THE ARROW IS ORGANIZED
The Order of the Arrow has three distinct organizational levels; lodges, sections, and re- gions. Lodges carry out the Order of the Arrow program at the local level and are closely tied with Boy Scout Councils. Sections consist of several lodges within a geographic region and Regions in turn consist of Sections within a geogrpahic region of the United States. Lodges, Sections, and Regions each have a distinct set of responsibilities which ensure that the OA program runs smoothly.
At the national level, the Order of the Arrow is governed by the national Order of the Arrow committee. The national committee sets policy, directs the national program of the Order, and broadly manages the organization above the local lodge level. The committee is com- posed of the national chief and national vice chief (and their immediate predecessors), who are elected annually at the national planning meeting; the chairman, who is appointed annu- ally by the chairman of the national Outdoor Adventures committee; other volunteer mem- bers, appointed by the chairman; and two staff members, the director of the Order of the Arrow and the OA specialist.
Regions The Order of the Arrow, like the Boy Scouts of America, is organized into four geographical regions: Central, Northeast, Southern, and Western. Each region is led by a youth region chief, a volunteer region chairman, and a region staff adviser. The region leadership helps execute the national program on a more local level, implements the National Leadership Seminar and National Lodge Adviser Training Seminar, provides its member sections with resources, and facilities communication between local organizations and the national OA committee.
Sections An Order of the Arrow section consists of lodges within a geographic area of the region. Each section is led by a chief, vice chief, and secretary, who play a crucial part in making the annual Conclave a success. The section may lead training seminars, promote national pro- grams of emphasis, and provide resources to local lodges. The section chief presides over the Council of Chiefs, attended by delegates of each member lodge.
Where does Tecumseh Lodge fit in? Tecumseh lodge is part of Section C-4 in the Central Region. During the year we will have two or three functions where we are directly involved with the other Lodges in our Section. The Section Conclave is a gathering of the Lodges in the Section. It is hosted by a different Lodge each year, who will choose one of their camps to showcase. At the Conclave there will be training and competitions along with activities just to have fun and fellowship. Forum, the Area Leadership Training Conference, is a training session held by Section C-4 and C-6A combined. It is hosted each November by Tecumseh Lodge at Camp Lazarus. This is a great training opportunity for those interested in furthering their involvement in the Lodge by becoming a Lodge officer or a Chapter officer. NOAC is a gathering of all the Lodges in the country and is held every two or three years. Page 32 The Jumpstart website continues your orientation at home to learn more about the OA.

Page 33 The Order of the Arrow, in its focus on service, has five high adventure programs at the national level that focus on conservation. These programs occur at the five national high adventure bases that the Boy Scouts own. They are open to youth aged 14 to 20, with spe- cific ages and health requirements varying by program, and are available at a substantially lower price than other programs at the base. They each include a period of service and a trek period during which the participants get to plan their own routes and experience the best of the bases. For further information contact your Lodge Chief or Lodge Adviser. OA TRAIL CREW This two-week expedition at Philmont is literally a mountaintop experience. Blaze new trails during a week of service.

Page 34 (National Order of the Arrow Conference)
NOAC is the premier event of the Order of the Arrow, and is Scouting's second-largest national event. In 2015, 15,000 Arrowmen from across our nation gathered at Michigan State University for an inspirational and unforgettable experience full of fellowship, train- ing, adventure, and fun!
During NOAC, Arrowmen participate in a six-day conference which includes top notch training sessions, cool recreational opportunities, evening shows full of theatrics and special effects, and exciting programs.
The next NOAC will be announced soon.
If you choose to go, you will find a large selection of activities ranging from Native American dancing and regalia to scuba and snorkeling. The best thing is, YOU get to choose what you want to do and when you do it. At the last NOAC the list of possibilities was huge including hundreds of activities.
While at NOAC you and your roommate will stay in the University dorm rooms, sleeping on real beds with the University providing the linens and using indoor restrooms and showers. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be served in the University Cafeterias where they do the cooking and the cleaning – all you have to do is return your tray.
