Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson. Ahoalan Nachpikin Lodge #558 is the local Order of the Arrow Lodge serving the Chickasaw Council. The purposes of the Order of the Arrow are to: recognize those campers who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives, develop and maintain camping within the unit, and to crystallize the scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. One of the Traditions that the Order of the Arrow seeks to preserve is that of the American Indian’s culture and customs. This is accomplished through the use of Native American clothing and the implementation of several specialized ceremonies. Tonight, Ahoalan Nachpikin Lodge # 558 will present an Indian Dance Pageant and Callout ceremony. This is a solemn occasion and we ask that you maintain the strictest silence and refrain from applauding during the proceedings. Also please turn off pagers, cellular phones and other potentially disruptive electronic devices. Meteu: We are gathered here together In the midst of this great forest Underneath the stars above us Gathered now, to help and serve Cheerfully, in all our actions Lovingly, in our reflections As the smoke curls, winding upward, May our thoughts and actions, rising, Fill us all with acts of goodness And Direct, and rule, and guide us In our work and thoughts this evening. Let there be fire! Music: The Ecstasy of Gold �Calling song/Grand entry Flag song: “Our first song this evening is a Native American Flag song. It is the Indian equivalent of our national anthem. We ask that everyone please stand for this song. “You may now be seated.” War Dance “The following is a war dance. A war dance should not be confused with the intent of going to war, but rather a song for the dancers to show off their talents and abilities.” Brotherhood Recognition “Brotherhood membership in the Order of the Arrow is a very noteworthy yet seldom recognized level of membership in the Order of the Arrow. To become a Brotherhood Member, one must serve their Lodge for at least ten months and have a complete understanding of the ceremonies and signs of membership in the Order of the Arrow. Tonight, Ahoalan Nachpikin #558 wishes to recognize its newest Brotherhood members: Would everyone who got their brotherhood this week please stand as we honor your accomplishments with the next song.” Veterans Song “Our last song this evening is the Veterans’ Song. The Veterans’ Song is sung by the Indian people to honor the men and women who have served in the armed forces. They have served on battlefields all over the world, keeping our shores safe while we sleep. We should reflect and remember the brave souls who have insured that the Stars and Stripes may proudly fly over the land of the free. We ask that all veterans in the audience please stand to be recognized during this song.” “You may now be seated.” And now, we will begin to recognize those who have been selected by their troops for membership in to the great and honored Order of the Arrow. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

You would have also been able to attend the Order of the Arrow’s event that was so great that it even had a set of huge water slides guarding the exit. The event was know as the Mysterium Compass. It was a crash course in moral choices. The whole event was one big moral battle. Do you let life get to you? Do you just let everything fall apart? No, we as scouts carry on and live life. We help others and in doing so better ourselves. As the Senior Patrol Leader for troop One 805, This was a very helpful experience. It allowed me to see things that might hold me back during the rest of my tour as SPL. There is another thing that should be brought up about this event. Several of our lodge’s members helped set up and run the event. Mike Haskins and Jake Lane both staffed the Mysterium Compass. If you see either of those people, ask them about it. They can tell you more than I could. The Dancing Bear: Ahoalan �achpikin, Lodge 558 Page 1 �The final report from the 2010 conclave is finally here! This year, our lodge packed up and took a bus to camp Boxwell near Lebanon, TN. We went as a mob of maple syrup chugging Canadians and absolutely showed everyone what spirit looks like. We charged into each event with vigor and we thought we were a shoe-in for this year’s spirit award. If you are new to our lodge or haven’t been told about a conclave, our lodge was a habit of winning the coveted spirit award. For the last two, years we won by a landslide. This year however, there was no spirit award. Do not fret though, even without the award, we had one of the best times someone could have outdoors. If you’ve been to a conclave, I’m willing to bet I’ll see you at the next one. If not, ask one of the LEC members on the last page. They can tell you how amazing it is. I hope to see you at Conclave 2011. Stay posted for updates and next year’s theme. Our lodge started a tradition of summer fellowships during summer camp recently. This year OK’s Jake Dover led the charge to prepare the event. It was filled with fun, music, and food. While there, members of the OA also provided a willing hand in preparations for the closing campfire. The atmosphere was perfect for cheerful service and kindred values. If you see Jake Dover in the next few weeks, give him a pat on the back for an amazing job during the summer.

Fall Fellowship will offer some exciting program and training opportunities that have not been available in the past (plus we’ll have great food!). Both of these events are also opportunities to pursue Brotherhood membership. At Scout base, the Lodge will form its second Service Corps, a group of Arrowmen who will assist with traffic control, program and support needs, and with shows. This is an exciting opportunity for any Arrowman and it is an honor to be selected. You can apply now by contacting your Chapter Chief.

The Mission of the Lodge The mission of the Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge is to achieve the purpose of the Order of the Arrow as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America in the Chickasaw Council through positive youth leadership under the guidance of selected capable adults. The Obligation I, 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.

The Chickasaw and Delta councils were in the process of merging. The fall elections were held during the fellowship at Camp Tallaha, located outside Charleston, MS, to select the new Lodge Executive Committee (LEC). It was agreed to have a balanced representation of leadership from the two merged lodges. After an arrowman from 406 was elected Lodge Chief, nominations were then limited to members of 345 for 1st Vice Chief. All the other offices were open to arrowmen from either lodge. Only the position of 2nd Vice Chief ran opposed. The event offered identically designed pocket and back patches featuring the combined totems of the Thunderbird (Chickasah) and White Panther (Koi Hatachie). After the first meeting at Camp Tallaha, the newly elected lodge officers met at the Chickasaw Council office to officially determine the new lodge totem and name. After several attempts, they selected the black bear and the name Ahoalan-Nachpikin, which means “We Who Love the Outdoors”. The new lodge was officially chartered on January 1, 1995. It was a member of Section SR-9 from 1995-1997 It was then moved to Section SR-6N where it remained from 1997-2008. With a section restructuring in 2008, the lodge came to be in its current section, Section SR-6. Initially, each district in the lodge was represented by a chapter. In August of 2000, restructuring occurred to form four chapters, each comprised of two or three districts. The chapters that made up the new lodge structure were: Macheu Machque (Great Bear), Lippoe Blaknik (Wise Flying Squirrel), Nashoba Tobhi (White Wolf in the Choctaw), Sakima Machque (Chief Bear). In 2003, with the formation of new districts, a new chapter, Okla Kamassa (Strong People) was added to the lodge structure. All of these remain currently.

As an Ordeal member, you will fall into one of the following three categories: If you have just completed your Ordeal Ceremony CONGRATULATIONS! Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge #558 is happy to have you as a Brother. Ordeal membership is only the first step that you are expected to achieve. Ten months from now, you will be eligible to participate in the Brotherhood experience. Will you be ready? There are five goals that you must meet before you are eligible to earn your Brotherhood Membership. The time to prepare for this journey is now! If you have been an Ordeal member for less than 10 months Then take a few minutes to assess where you stand in your commitment to obtaining Brotherhood. Also, check your Lodge Calendar, call your Chapter Chief, or talk to the Vice-Chief of Unit Elections and Camp Promotions, to find out when the next Brotherhood opportunity is scheduled. The Ordeal Ceremony contains some very powerful words and lessons that you must learn. These will help you understand what you will need to take the next step to Brotherhood. Review the Order of the Arrow Handbook and obtain a copy of the “Brotherhood” Information Sheet to aid you in your preparations. Your Lodge depends on its members’ support, and you can be an exciting part of its growth! If you have been an Ordeal member for more than 10 months Then contact a Lodge Officer or Adviser to discuss your Obligation and commitment to this awesome organization, the Order of the Arrow. You can continue to contribute to your Lodge and assist with its growth and future. If you feel you are not receiving necessary support from Lodge members, contact your Lodge Officers and/or Advisers for assistance. The Challenge of Brotherhood Membership You must meet five challenges before entering the Circle of Brotherhood. As an Ordeal member you have completed the first challenge. The next three require steady effort over a period of many months. The final challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you have lived up to the first four. First: Memorize the signs of the Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card and in the front of this book). Memorize the Order of the Arrow official song (printed in the front of this book), the admonition, the sign of Ordeal Membership, and the Arrow Handclasp. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal, and gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you passed. Second: Serve your unit; help them improve their camping program. 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 Troop or Crew. Third: Plan for service in your Lodge. Retain your registration in your 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 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book Officers Roster The following list of officers is for your reference.

The Troop/Team Representative program was begun in 1999, and is a program of the Order of the Arrow that has been officially adopted by the Boy Scouts of America. The OA Representative is now an official leadership position within the troop or team, and boys can earn time towards their leadership rank requirements, just as with Den Chief, Troop Scribe, or any of the other leadership positions. What Are the Responsibilities of the Troop/Team Representative? There are numerous possibilities for the job description of the OA Representative. The beauty is that it is flexible enough to allow your unit to fine-tune the exact responsibilities. However, the most basic tasks of the Representative will be to coordinate service opportunities within the unit, to coordinate unit involvement with the Order of the Arrow, including Unit Elections, Camp Promotions, and Inductions, and request lodge and chapter resources to help meet unit needs. Who Can Serve as a Troop/Team Representative? Anyone in the unit who is under the age of 18 can serve as the OA Representative for the unit, provided he is a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow. He should be appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader or Varsity Team Captain, and will be a member of the Patrol Leaders’ Council and attend lodge and chapter meetings. Will There Be an Adviser for the Troop/Team Representative? As with all positions in the Order, the OA Representative should have an adult as his Adviser. This adult needs to be 21 years of age or older, a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow, and be appointed by the Scoutmaster. Does This Position Count for Rank Advancement? Scouts may use the Order of the Arrow Troop/Team Representative position to meet the leadership position requirements for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. As BSA publications are revised and updated, they will include this new position. 28 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 29 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 30 2011 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 31 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 32 2011 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book - 33 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 34 2011 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 35 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 36 2011 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 37 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin 2011 Vigil Nomination Form Return by: June 15, 2011 The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon an Arrowman.

The Chickasaw and Delta councils were in the process of merging. The fall elections were held during the fellowship at Camp Tallaha, located outside Charleston, MS, to select the new Lodge Executive Committee (LEC). It was agreed to have a balanced representation of leadership from the two merged lodges. After an arrowman from 406 was elected Lodge Chief, nominations were then limited to members of 345 for 1st Vice Chief. All the other offices were open to arrowmen from either lodge. Only the position of 2nd Vice Chief ran opposed. The event offered identically designed pocket and back patches featuring the combined totems of the Thunderbird (Chickasah) and White Panther (Koi Hatachie). After the first meeting at Camp Tallaha, the newly elected lodge officers met at the Chickasaw Council office to officially determine the new lodge totem and name. After several attempts, they selected the black bear and the name Ahoalan-Nachpikin, which means “We Who Love the Outdoors”. The new lodge was officially chartered on January 1, 1995. It was a member of Section SR-9 from 1995-1997 It was then moved to Section SR-6N where it remained from 1997-2008. With a section restructuring in 2008, the lodge came to be in its current section, Section SR-6. Initially, each district in the lodge was represented by a chapter. In August of 2000, restructuring occurred to form four chapters, each comprised of two or three districts. The chapters that made up the new lodge structure were: Macheu Machque (Great Bear), Lippoe Blaknik (Wise Flying Squirrel), Nashoba Tobhi (White Wolf in the Choctaw), Sakima Machque (Chief Bear). In 2003, with the formation of new districts, a new chapter, Okla Kamassa (Strong People) was added to the lodge structure. All of these remain currently.

Ten months from now, you will be eligible to participate in the Brotherhood experience. Will you be ready? There are five goals that you must meet before you are eligible to earn your Brotherhood Membership. The time to prepare for this journey is now! If you have been an Ordeal member for less than 10 months Then take a few minutes to assess where you stand in your commitment to obtaining Brotherhood. Also, check your Lodge Calendar, call your Chapter Chief, or talk to the Vice-Chief of Unit Elections and Camp Promotions, to find out when the next Brotherhood opportunity is scheduled. The Ordeal Ceremony contains some very powerful words and lessons that you must learn. These will help you understand what you will need to take the next step to Brotherhood. Review the Order of the Arrow Handbook and obtain a copy of the “Brotherhood” Information Sheet to aid you in your preparations. Your Lodge depends on its members’ support, and you can be an exciting part of its growth! If you have been an Ordeal member for more than 10 months Then contact a Lodge Officer or Adviser to discuss your Obligation and commitment to this awesome organization, the Order of the Arrow. You can continue to contribute to your Lodge and assist with its growth and future. If you feel you are not receiving necessary support from Lodge members, contact your Lodge Officers and/or Advisers for assistance. The Challenge of Brotherhood Membership You must meet five challenges before entering the Circle of Brotherhood. As an Ordeal member you have completed the first challenge. The next three require steady effort over a period of many months. The final challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you have lived up to the first four. First: Memorize the signs of the Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card and in the front of this book). Memorize the Order of the Arrow official song (printed in the front of this book), the admonition, the sign of Ordeal Membership, and the Arrow Handclasp.

The Troop/Team Representative program was begun in 1999, and is a program of the Order of the Arrow that has been officially adopted by the Boy Scouts of America. The OA Representative is now an official leadership position within the troop or team, and boys can earn time towards their leadership rank requirements, just as with Den Chief, Troop Scribe, or any of the other leadership positions. What Are the Responsibilities of the Troop/Team Representative? There are numerous possibilities for the job description of the OA Representative. The beauty is that it is flexible enough to allow your unit to fine-tune the exact responsibilities. However, the most basic tasks of the Representative will be to coordinate service opportunities within the unit, to coordinate unit involvement with the Order of the Arrow, including Unit Elections, Camp Promotions, and Inductions, and request lodge and chapter resources to help meet unit needs. Who Can Serve as a Troop/Team Representative? Anyone in the unit who is under the age of 18 can serve as the OA Representative for the unit, provided he is a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow. He should be appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader or Varsity Team Captain, and will be a member of the Patrol Leaders’ Council and attend lodge and chapter meetings. Will There Be an Adviser for the Troop/Team Representative? As with all positions in the Order, the OA Representative should have an adult as his Adviser. This adult needs to be 21 years of age or older, a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow, and be appointed by the Scoutmaster. Does This Position Count for Rank Advancement? Scouts may use the Order of the Arrow Troop/Team Representative position to meet the leadership position requirements for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. As BSA publications are revised and updated, they will include this new position. 29 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 30 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 31 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 32 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 33 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book - 34 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 35 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 36 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book 37 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 Plan Book Ahoalan-Nachpikin 2011 Vigil Nomination Form Return by: June 15, 2011 The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon an Arrowman.

The Mission of the Lodge The mission of the Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge is to achieve the purpose of the Order of the Arrow as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America in the Chickasaw Council through positive youth leadership under the guidance of selected capable adults. The Obligation I, 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. The Song of our Order 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. �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Brothers, 2012 is a new year with room for new innovations and improvement. As a lodge we have several lofty goals and aspirations, but with teamwork and dedication, we cannot fail. Together as a Brotherhood let’s make it the best year our Lodge and our Council has ever seen! There are many events coming up this year that will continue to provide a lot of excitement. April 20-22 the Lodge will send a contingent to Conclave at Skymont Scout Reservation outside of Chattanooga. This is a large campout with all the lodges in the Section. There are plenty of games and competitions that make for a lot of fun. This year the theme is pirates, so join yon crew for the raid on Skymont! This summer there is the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) at Michigan State University July 30-August 4. It is essentially the National Jamboree of the OA. This is a week of training, competitions, patch trading, shows, and pow wows! Another option for the summer is OA High Adventure. You can go to OA Trail Crew (Philmont), OA Ocean Adventure (Sea Base), OA Wilderness Voyage (Northern Tier), or OA Canadian Odyssey (Northern Tier). Here you will work on maintaining and improving the camps while also experiencing much of what it has to offer. It is also a lot cheaper than going with your troop! On a local level, we have our Lodge Order of the Arrow Conference (LOAC) which is at Camp Currier February 17-19. During summer camp at Kia Kima there will be a weekly Summer Fellowship every Friday evening in the Council Ring before Campfire. Fall Fellowship is at Camp Currier October 12-14 and where we will elect our new officers for 2013. This year there will also be a ServiceCorps for ScoutBase October 19-21 at Tunica Expo Center. This is a great way to serve the Council and make sure everything runs smoothly at ScoutBase. Our two Ordeals (where we induct new members) will be May 18-20 and September 7-9. These will be held at Kia Kima and Camp Currier respectively. Finally our Lodge Family Banquet will be held December 1st. Also, if you have been an Ordeal member for 10 months you have the opportunity to seal your membership by going through Brotherhood conversion. This will teach you more of our traditions and give you a greater understanding of the Order. There will be a Brotherhood ceremony at every Lodge event (except ServiceCorps and Banquet) and also every week of Summer Camp at Kia Kima. On behalf of the officers of the Lodge Executive Committee, we are looking forward to a great year with the lodge! W. W. W.

The Chickasaw and Delta councils were in the process of merging. The fall elections were held during the fellowship at Camp Tallaha, located outside Charleston, MS, to select the new Lodge Executive Committee (LEC). It was agreed to have a balanced representation of leadership from the two merged lodges. After an arrowman from 406 was elected Lodge Chief, nominations were then limited to members of 345 for 1st Vice Chief. All the other offices were open to arrowmen from either lodge. Only the position of 2nd Vice Chief ran opposed. The event offered identically designed pocket and back patches featuring the combined totems of the Thunderbird (Chickasah) and White Panther (Koi Hatachie). After the first meeting at Camp Tallaha, the newly elected lodge officers met at the Chickasaw Council office to officially determine the new lodge totem and name. After several attempts, they selected the black bear and the name Ahoalan-Nachpikin, which means “We Who Love the Outdoors”. The new lodge was officially chartered on January 1, 1995. It was a member of Section SR-9 from 1995-1997 It was then moved to Section SR-6N where it remained from 1997-2008. With a section restructuring in 2008, the lodge came to be in its current section, Section SR-6. Initially, each district in the lodge was represented by a chapter. In August of 2000, restructuring occurred to form four chapters, each comprised of two or three districts. The chapters that made up the new lodge structure were: Macheu Machque (Great Bear), Lippoe Blaknik (Wise Flying Squirrel), Nashoba Tobhi (White Wolf in the Choctaw), Sakima Machque (Chief Bear). In 2003, with the formation of new districts, a new chapter, Okla Kamassa (Strong People) was added to the lodge structure. All of these remain currently.

As an Ordeal member, you will fall into one of the following three categories: If you have just completed your Ordeal Ceremony CONGRATULATIONS! Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge #558 is happy to have you as a Brother. Ordeal membership is only the first step that you are expected to achieve. Ten months from now, you will be eligible to participate in the Brotherhood experience. Will you be ready? There are five goals that you must meet before you are eligible to earn your Brotherhood Membership. The time to prepare for this journey is now! If you have been an Ordeal member for less than 10 months Then take a few minutes to assess where you stand in your commitment to obtaining Brotherhood. Also, check your Lodge Calendar, call your Chapter Chief, or talk to the Vice-Chief of Unit Elections and Camp Promotions, to find out when the next Brotherhood opportunity is scheduled. The Ordeal Ceremony contains some very powerful words and lessons that you must learn. These will help you understand what you will need to take the next step to Brotherhood. Review the Order of the Arrow Handbook and obtain a copy of the “Brotherhood” Information Sheet to aid you in your preparations. Your Lodge depends on its members’ support, and you can be an exciting part of its growth! If you have been an Ordeal member for more than 10 months Then contact a Lodge Officer or Adviser to discuss your Obligation and commitment to this awesome organization, the Order of the Arrow. You can continue to contribute to your Lodge and assist with its growth and future. If you feel you are not receiving necessary support from Lodge members, contact your Lodge Officers and/or Advisers for assistance. The Challenge of Brotherhood Membership You must meet five challenges before entering the Circle of Brotherhood. As an Ordeal member you have completed the first challenge. The next three require steady effort over a period of many months. The final challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you have lived up to the first four. First: Memorize the signs of the Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card and in the front of this book). Memorize the Order of the Arrow official song (printed in the front of this book), the admonition, the sign of Ordeal Membership, and the Arrow Handclasp. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal, and gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you passed. Second: Serve your unit; help them improve their camping program. 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 Troop or Crew. Third: Plan for service in your Lodge. Retain your registration in your 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 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Officers Roster The following list of officers is for your reference.

The Troop/Team Representative program was begun in 1999, and is a program of the Order of the Arrow that has been officially adopted by the Boy Scouts of America. The OA Representative is now an official leadership position within the troop or team, and boys can earn time towards their leadership rank requirements, just as with Den Chief, Troop Scribe, or any of the other leadership positions. What Are the Responsibilities of the Troop/Team Representative? There are numerous possibilities for the job description of the OA Representative. The beauty is that it is flexible enough to allow your unit to fine-tune the exact responsibilities. However, the most basic tasks of the Representative will be to coordinate service opportunities within the unit, to coordinate unit involvement with the Order of the Arrow, including Unit Elections, Camp Promotions, and Inductions, and request lodge and chapter resources to help meet unit needs. Who Can Serve as a Troop/Team Representative? Anyone in the unit who is under the age of 18 can serve as the OA Representative for the unit, provided he is a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow. He should be appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader or Varsity Team Captain, and will be a member of the Patrol Leaders’ Council and attend lodge and chapter meetings. Will There Be an Adviser for the Troop/Team Representative? As with all positions in the Order, the OA Representative should have an adult as his Adviser. This adult needs to be 21 years of age or older, a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow, and be appointed by the Scoutmaster. Does This Position Count for Rank Advancement? Scouts may use the Order of the Arrow Troop/Team Representative position to meet the leadership position requirements for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. As BSA publications are revised and updated, they will include this new position. 31 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 32 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 33 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 34 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 35 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge - 36 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 37 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 38 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 39 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 40 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 41 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 42 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 43 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 44 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 45 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 46 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 47 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 48 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book SUMMER 2012 NOAC 2012 49 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Have you considered becoming a member of the Kia Kima staff?

Text Any textual data included in the document The 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. The Mission of the Lodge The mission of the Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge is to achieve the purpose of the Order of the Arrow as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America in the Chickasaw Council through positive youth leadership under the guidance of selected capable adults. The Obligation I, 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. The Song of our Order 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. Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Brothers, 2012 is a new year with room for new innovations and improvement. As a lodge we have several lofty goals and aspirations, but with teamwork and dedication, we cannot fail. Together as a Brotherhood let’s make it the best year our Lodge and our Council has ever seen! There are many events coming up this year that will continue to provide a lot of excitement. April 20-22 the Lodge will send a contingent to Conclave at Skymont Scout Reservation outside of Chattanooga. This is a large campout with all the lodges in the Section. There are plenty of games and competitions that make for a lot of fun. This year the theme is pirates, so join yon crew for the raid on Skymont! This summer there is the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) at Michigan State University July 30-August 4. It is essentially the National Jamboree of the OA. This is a week of training, competitions, patch trading, shows, and pow wows! Another option for the summer is OA High Adventure. You can go to OA Trail Crew (Philmont), OA Ocean Adventure (Sea Base), OA Wilderness Voyage (Northern Tier), or OA Canadian Odyssey (Northern Tier). Here you will work on maintaining and improving the camps while also experiencing much of what it has to offer. It is also a lot cheaper than going with your troop! On a local level, we have our Lodge Order of the Arrow Conference (LOAC) which is at Camp Currier February 17-19. During summer camp at Kia Kima there will be a weekly Summer Fellowship every Friday evening in the Council Ring before Campfire. Fall Fellowship is at Camp Currier October 12-14 and where we will elect our new officers for 2013. This year there will also be a ServiceCorps for ScoutBase October 19-21 at Tunica Expo Center. This is a great way to serve the Council and make sure everything runs smoothly at ScoutBase. Our two Ordeals (where we induct new members) will be May 18-20 and September 7-9. These will be held at Kia Kima and Camp Currier respectively. Finally our Lodge Family Banquet will be held December 1st. Also, if you have been an Ordeal member for 10 months you have the opportunity to seal your membership by going through Brotherhood conversion. This will teach you more of our traditions and give you a greater understanding of the Order. There will be a Brotherhood ceremony at every Lodge event (except ServiceCorps and Banquet) and also every week of Summer Camp at Kia Kima. On behalf of the officers of the Lodge Executive Committee, we are looking forward to a great year with the lodge! W. W. W.

The Chickasaw and Delta councils were in the process of merging. The fall elections were held during the fellowship at Camp Tallaha, located outside Charleston, MS, to select the new Lodge Executive Committee (LEC). It was agreed to have a balanced representation of leadership from the two merged lodges. After an arrowman from 406 was elected Lodge Chief, nominations were then limited to members of 345 for 1st Vice Chief. All the other offices were open to arrowmen from either lodge. Only the position of 2nd Vice Chief ran opposed. The event offered identically designed pocket and back patches featuring the combined totems of the Thunderbird (Chickasah) and White Panther (Koi Hatachie). After the first meeting at Camp Tallaha, the newly elected lodge officers met at the Chickasaw Council office to officially determine the new lodge totem and name. After several attempts, they selected the black bear and the name Ahoalan-Nachpikin, which means “We Who Love the Outdoors”. The new lodge was officially chartered on January 1, 1995. It was a member of Section SR-9 from 1995-1997 It was then moved to Section SR-6N where it remained from 1997-2008. With a section restructuring in 2008, the lodge came to be in its current section, Section SR-6. Initially, each district in the lodge was represented by a chapter. In August of 2000, restructuring occurred to form four chapters, each comprised of two or three districts.

Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge #558 is happy to have you as a Brother. Ordeal membership is only the first step that you are expected to achieve. Ten months from now, you will be eligible to participate in the Brotherhood experience. Will you be ready? There are five goals that you must meet before you are eligible to earn your Brotherhood Membership. The time to prepare for this journey is now! If you have been an Ordeal member for less than 10 months Then take a few minutes to assess where you stand in your commitment to obtaining Brotherhood. Also, check your Lodge Calendar, call your Chapter Chief, or talk to the Vice-Chief of Unit Elections and Camp Promotions, to find out when the next Brotherhood opportunity is scheduled. The Ordeal Ceremony contains some very powerful words and lessons that you must learn. These will help you understand what you will need to take the next step to Brotherhood. Review the Order of the Arrow Handbook and obtain a copy of the “Brotherhood” Information Sheet to aid you in your preparations. Your Lodge depends on its members’ support, and you can be an exciting part of its growth! If you have been an Ordeal member for more than 10 months Then contact a Lodge Officer or Adviser to discuss your Obligation and commitment to this awesome organization, the Order of the Arrow. You can continue to contribute to your Lodge and assist with its growth and future. If you feel you are not receiving necessary support from Lodge members, contact your Lodge Officers and/or Advisers for assistance. The Challenge of Brotherhood Membership You must meet five challenges before entering the Circle of Brotherhood. As an Ordeal member you have completed the first challenge. The next three require steady effort over a period of many months. The final challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you have lived up to the first four. First: Memorize the signs of the Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card and in the front of this book). Memorize the Order of the Arrow official song (printed in the front of this book), the admonition, the sign of Ordeal Membership, and the Arrow Handclasp. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal, and gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you passed. Second: Serve your unit; help them improve their camping program. 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 Troop or Crew. Third: Plan for service in your Lodge. Retain your registration in your 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.

The Troop/Team Representative program was begun in 1999, and is a program of the Order of the Arrow that has been officially adopted by the Boy Scouts of America. The OA Representative is now an official leadership position within the troop or team, and boys can earn time towards their leadership rank requirements, just as with Den Chief, Troop Scribe, or any of the other leadership positions. What Are the Responsibilities of the Troop/Team Representative? There are numerous possibilities for the job description of the OA Representative. The beauty is that it is flexible enough to allow your unit to fine-tune the exact responsibilities. However, the most basic tasks of the Representative will be to coordinate service opportunities within the unit, to coordinate unit involvement with the Order of the Arrow, including Unit Elections, Camp Promotions, and Inductions, and request lodge and chapter resources to help meet unit needs. Who Can Serve as a Troop/Team Representative? Anyone in the unit who is under the age of 18 can serve as the OA Representative for the unit, provided he is a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow. He should be appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader or Varsity Team Captain, and will be a member of the Patrol Leaders’ Council and attend lodge and chapter meetings. Will There Be an Adviser for the Troop/Team Representative? As with all positions in the Order, the OA Representative should have an adult as his Adviser. This adult needs to be 21 years of age or older, a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow, and be appointed by the Scoutmaster. Does This Position Count for Rank Advancement? Scouts may use the Order of the Arrow Troop/Team Representative position to meet the leadership position requirements for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. As BSA publications are revised and updated, they will include this new position. 32 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 2011 33 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 34 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 35 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 36 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book - 37 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 38 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 39 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 40 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 41 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 42 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 43 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 44 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 45 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 46 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 47 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 48 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 49 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book SUMMER 2012 NOAC 2012 50 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Have you considered becoming a member of the Kia Kima staff?

Jesse Henderson, Mike Haskins, Chris King, Johnny Tracy, and Thaddaeus Little are all of those Arrowmen that have served this Lodge well as youth and hopefully they will continue to serve the Lodge as adults. They brought great leadership and experience to our Lodge during their terms of service in Lodge leadership positions. Even though there may be many experienced officers leaving, there are more aspiring Arrowmen to take their places. The new Lodge Chief for 2012 is Andrew Schrack. He is an experienced scouter, an Eagle Scout, and the President of his Venturing crew. Andrew is looking forward to an amazing year with the Lodge. University of Scouting: Don’t miss the University of Scouting this year. It will be on February 4th and it will have many great training sessions.
