Western Region Latest Topicshttps://www.scouter.com/forum/10-western-region/Western Region Latest TopicsenOA insigniahttps://www.scouter.com/topic/32837-oa-insignia/ New here so this may well have been asked. OA has a small arrow on a ribbon for a uniform shirt pocket button. I assume this indicates OA membership. If I wear a lodge patch, should I also wear the ribbon or should it be one or the other? Anything more about the ribbon as you move to brotherhood, etc.?

Not a big job for our event as it was at a church in town. 

Recently during a planning meeting for Conclave we were reminded that a certified Dietician was required to approve menu items for the event. And that the event had to be within so many minutes of a hospital, which is problematic with many camps being distant from city centers. Has anyone else had any challenges meeting one of the new standards while planning OA events?

I've heard that it's similar to Wood Badge, But I haven't taken Wood Badge yet. I'm happy to report back what I learn but was wondering what to expect. Has anyone else already taken the seminar?

Does any one remember what the rules were for wearing the Order of the Arrow Lodge Specific Neckerchief? Were explorers allowed to wear it at Order of the Arrow functions or only Boy Scouts?

The Western Region website didn't have any information about him, however I was able to track down that David is a a member of Kola Lodge, Longs Peak Council.

 

Is he an Eagle Scout, assuming a Vigil Honor member? What are his hobbies? anyone know?

 

All of the 2009 Order of the Arrow National / Regional election results are available at:
