Trevorum Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 This is a few weeks late, but I want to offer our congratulations to Scouter forum member Hillis, who was recently elected National OA Chief! Hillis is a Vigil member from my own lodge, Tonkawa 99. http://western.oa-bsa.org/article.php?id=68 Congratulations, Hillis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAKWIB Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Awesome!! In my mind, that is one of the most important positions in Scouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattlePioneer Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 For several years our district had no functioning OA Chapter. A couple of years ago one of our long time, dedicated district volunteers undertook to revive the OA chapter along with his Boy Scout son, and they have put in a LOT of work and built quite an effective chapter. Most recently the chapter did most of the work in sponsoring our district marble tournament and they did a fine job. I regret I don't have the time and energy to help them out. While I was voted an OA member a quarter century ago as an adult, perhaps I don't qualify without 14 days of camping in the past year.... Anyway, they do great work and are a diamond in our district. So thank you to Hillis who helps make this program possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemlaw Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Congratulations, Hillis! As noted above, it's one of the most important positions in Scouting. As a youth, I served as Lodge Secretary, and I was always in awe of the Scouts who served as Chiefs, from Chapter, all the way up to National. I took care of some of the irksome tasks, but they all excelled at the weighty responsibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
