We qualified as a Silver Council and a Silver Order of the Arrow Lodge in the National Journey to Excellence Program. 3,367 Cub Scouts advanced in rank. 432 Webelos earned the Arrow of Light, the highest rank achievement in Cub Scouting, preparing them for Boy Scouts. 1,919 Boy Scouts advanced in rank on their trail to Eagle, earning 9,181 career and hobby-based Merit Badges along the way. We partnered with Sikorsky Aircraft and the Connecticut Building Trades to offer 823 Scouts the opportunity to earn STEM-related merit badges taught by skilled instructors. 265 boys earned the rank of Eagle Scout, giving direct leadership to 38,555 hours of community service projects in achievement of this goal. We also reconnected with over 200 adult Eagle Scouts through Eagle Scout After-Hours. Our Scouts and volunteers performed 49,596 hours of community service collecting food, cleaning parks and sidewalks, shoveling snow, repairing trails and more. Over 2,237 Cub Scouts and their parents spent quality time together having fun at our annual Fishing Derby, Scout Day at Lime Rock and Cub Scout Fright Night at Deer Lake. 89 Boy Scouts and Venturers took Scouting’s premier Youth Leadership Training, and 56 adult volunteers completed Wood Badge, Scouting’s top adult leader training. Over 1,730 youth from 94 troops enjoyed a weeklong summer camp experience at Camp Sequassen. Many returned for a second week. 327 boys from 49 packs came home smiling, tired, dirty and sweaty each day from our Cub Scout Day camps. 3 19 Cubs and parents spent three or more nights together at Cub Scout/Webelos Action Camp (resident) camp.

  • Lodge History
    History Tali Taktaki Lodge 70 The Order of the Arrow The Order of the Arrow (OA) 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. Scouting’s Early Days in Greensboro The Boy Scout program began in Guilford County in central North Carolina in 1910 with the formation of Troop One. Their early history included a trip to Pilot Mountain by train and backpack. The troop participated each year in Memorial Day services where they escorted local Confederate veterans. Additional troops were formed in the area and a “Board” of local leaders was started in 1915. Greensboro Council was formed in 1918 with the hiring of Robert Denny as Scout Executive. The Council purchased property in 1924 for a local Scout camp. Troop One with Col. Robert E. Lee at 1912 Memorial Day Observance Camp Graystone began summer programs in 1926. In 1929 the growing council chartered its first Sea Scout Ship and its first troop for African-Americans. At the end of 1929 the Council reported 464 boys in the program.

  • Order of the Arrow Brotherhood Requirements
    ORDER OF THE ARROW BROTHERHOOD REQUIREMENTS Ever since the inception of the Order of the Arrow in 1915, it was intended that all members should be equal in rank. Brotherhood membership does not provide a specific degree of rank, status, or special honor like that of the Vigil Honor. Instead, the Brotherhood is an opportunity for members to reaffirm their belief in the high purposes of the Order. The ceremony is intended as a source of inspiration that motivates brothers to give even greater service to Scouting. An Ordeal member may become a Brotherhood member when he has completed the five Challenges of Brotherhood Membership below: 1) Memorize the signs of OA Membership: A) Obligation I, (your name), do hereby promise on my honor as a Scout, that I will always and faithfully observe and preserve the traditions of the Order of the Arrow, Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui. I will always regard the ties of Brotherhood in the Order of the Arrow as lasting, and will seek to preserve a cheerful spirit even in the midst of irksome tasks and weighty responsibilities, and will endeavor, so far as in my power lies, to be unselfish in service and devotion to the welfare of others. B) OA Song “Firm bound in brotherhood, gather the clan that cheerful service brings to fellow man. Circle our council fire, weld tightly every link that binds us in brotherhood, Wimachtendienk.” C) Admonition Never said above a whisper. If you need your memory refreshed, check with a lodge officer or ceremonial team. D) Sign of Ordeal Membership Drawing an arrow from a quiver over the left shoulder with right arm.

  • Cub Scout Demonstrations Scouts USA Ceremonies
    (rev. 11Feb2019) Ajapeu Lodge 2 provides memorable and meaningful demonstrations for Cub Scout Packs and ceremonies for Scout Troops. You can request a demonstration performance or ceremony through our American Indian Affairs (AIA) committee by submitting a Ceremonies Team Request Form on line (see below for more details). Our demonstrations and ceremonies have a Native American theme and are performed in hand-made, period- authentic costume and regalia and are fully scripted by our Ceremonies team. Cub Scout Demonstrations As of January 1, 2019, national policy prohibits the OA from wearing regalia (costumes) in Cub Scout Arrow of Light and Crossover ceremonies. In addition, the OA is only permitted to use the scripts approved by the national committee for these 2 ceremonies. We will continue to perform demonstrations in full regalia prior to Arrow of Light and Crossover ceremonies conducted by Pack leaders and youth. Our demonstrations are designed to enhance your own Arrow of Light or Crossover ceremonies. While we do not typically perform the actual ceremony, our demonstrations create a fun and memorable atmosphere to set up your ceremony. Our period-authentic, hand-made regalia and tailored script are both suitable for Cub Scout-aged youth and respectful to Native American culture. If requested, we can also perform the actual Arrow of Light or Crossover ceremonies in accordance with national policy using the approved scripts and wearing the Field uniform with our OA sashes. Scouts USA Ceremonies There is no restriction on OA ceremonies for Scout Troops. Ceremonies are performed in full regalia with scripts tailored to the ceremony.

  • Scoutspeak 101 November 2020
    Washington Crossing Council Scout-Speak 101 A guide to help you understand the various terms, phrases, program components and acronyms that are used in the BSA program. Organization COUNCIL – A council is a voluntary association of citizens, including representatives of organizations that are chartered by the Boy Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographic area. There are four major functions involved in achieving the purposes of a council: membership, fund development, program, and unit service. These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished in each council in a manner that is consistent with local conditions and circumstances. DISTRICT – Unlike councils, which establish policies and programs, districts carry out the programs and policies of the council in their respective territories. For the purpose of unit service, program administration, membership, and fund development, the council territory is divided geographically into several districts, as determined by the executive board. The supervision of Scouting in each district is exercised by the council through a district committee consisting of all council members residing within the district, chartered organization representatives, and district members at large. KEY 3 - The Council Key 3 consists of the Council President, Council Commissioner, and Scout Executive. They meet informally as necessary to ensure proper coordination of the work of the council. They furnish liaisons between the commissioner staff and the various committees of the council. They may also provide proposals and recommendations to, but in no way usurp the authority of, the executive board or executive committee of the board. November 20, 2020 Page 1 of 16 Council Support The thinking here is that Scouts and volunteers see only 20 percent of what councils provide to members.
