Twocubdad 665 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Ordeal in '72 and Brotherhood in '73. I was a member of Tali Tak Taki 70, which has since merged, but I think the new lodge still uses the 70 lodge number. I started paying dues with the local lodge a couple years ago, but made it clear that I consider myself inactive. I may become more active once my boys move into a scout troop.

Adrianvs 10 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I am a Vigil Honor member of the Mitigwa Lodge. Yes, our lodge is hosting NOAC this summer. No, I will not be going. Our council has two camps. At the larger one, ceremonialists wear Hollywood Sioux outfitting (lots of felt and ribbons) and touch the candidates with feathers. At the "other" camp, ceremonialists wear Sauk and Fox outfitting and give the candidates a significant "tap." One can even see a little bit of facepaint from time to time. (gasp..)

dsteele 20 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Getting a beating on the left shoulder by a seven foot tall man wearing white or being stared at real hard by a man 5'7" tall wearing authentic garb, does the ordeal mean any more or less? I must confess I'm one of those "what" rather than "how" guys. Unc. Link to post Share on other sites
Proud Eagle 13 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Ordeal: spring 1999 at Camp Wildcat Hollow Brotherhood: spring 2000 at Camp Wildcat Hollow Vigil Honor: early 2003 at Camp Wildcat Hollow I have served on several ceremonies teams. I served in chapter offices in 2000 and 2001. I served as Chief of the White Horse Lodge in 2002. http://www.lodge201.org From the time I received the Vigil Honor until the present time I have served as chairman of the lodge's Brothers of the Vigil Honor committee. I will likely remain in that capacity until I become an adult Arrowman later this year. I was not tapped or called out prior to the Ordeal since elections were in the spring and call outs were done at summer camp. That issue has since been addressed, at least in part, by conducting call outs during the spring camporree. On the issue of tap outs versus call outs, I am starting a new thread on that issue.

scoutldr 726 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Yep, I remember making my own arrow and having them notched...allegedly 3 notches and you were out (never actually saw that happen, though). Now the arrows are pre-made and issued upon call-out. Link to post Share on other sites
