Letter from the Scout Executive Dear Brothers, Unali’yi Lodge plays an important part in advancing the Scouting program in the Coastal Carolina Council. The three principles for the Order; brotherhood, cheerfulness and service are characteristics that are vital part of the Lodge’s mission and its members. Our Council’s strategic plan and goals could not reach be reached without the support of the Lodge. As you are aware, the Order of the Arrow recognizes those scouts and scouters who best live up to the Scout Oath and Law. The four test of your Ordeal were designed to allow you time to reflect on your life and character in order to come to a deeper understanding of the Scout Oath, the Scout Law and eventually the Obligation of the Order. On the night you took your Obligation, Allowat Sakima told you that you were entitled to all the right and privileges of the Order of the Arrow. Furthermore, he states that you are obligated to a life a cheerful service and warns you that another time of testing is before you. This test is unlike your Ordeal rather it is a test of your continued cheerful service to your fellow scouts, troop and Lodge. This Planbook is designed to be a companion to the Order of the Arrow handbook and servers as an introduction to your Lodge and how to become involved in its program. I sincerely hope that you dedicate yourself to the three principles of the Order, and that you seal your membership in the Order by accepting the challenges of Brotherhood membership. Yours in the Brotherhood, Legare Clement Scout Executive Coastal Carolina Council


Letter from the Lodge Chief Brothers,

It is an amazing honor to serve as Unali’yi Lodge Chief. I look forward to working with all of you to make this a fantastic year.

We have had an exciting trip to the 100th Anniversary National Order of the Arrow Conference and look forward to the next 100 years. “It starts with us.” You are the future of our great lodge and I look forward to seeing what we are able to accomplish together.

Once again I look forward to working with you all to make this a fantastic year. Yours in Brotherhood,

Alex Jernigan 201516 Lodge Chief

Lodge Plan of Administration The Order of the Arrow was created to influence the lives of young men. The Lodge was established as a society belonging to these individuals. Most Lodges throughout the country have accepted this principle and have given leadership positions to the youth rather than to the adults. Leadership positions are given to the high caliber scouts and explorers of the Lodge. Experience has shown that when the right type of adult guidance is given, the youth leaders are quite capable of providing effective leadership. Lodge Officers All leadership positions in the Lodge are elected positions. All officers are under 21 years of age. They are elected annually so that the greatest number of members can get an opportunity to be a part of the leadership. Candidates are proposed by petition. These Lodge officers are the key youth leaders of the Lodge: Chief This is the top youth leader in the Lodge and Chair of the Executive committee. He appoints all committee chairs. He decides what committees are needed for the successful operation of the Lodge. He is responsible for the planning and the conducting of Lodge activities. He undertakes, with the advice and approval of his advisers, service projects for the Lodge to accomplish. He promotes and represents the Lodge at all council, regional, and national activities. He prepares the agenda and conducts all Lodge Executive Committee Meetings (LECMs). He directs the Lodge Executive committee members in accomplishing the goals and objectives of the Lodge. He sets goals for his administration to accomplish. He identifies future Lodge leaders and helps to train and to encourage them into Lodge leadership. He is responsible for the training of the Executive committee. In summation, he is basically responsible for the overall operation of the Lodge. Vice Chief of Administration He is the right hand man of the Lodge Chief and assumes the Chief’s responsibilities in his absence. He assists the Chief in planning and conducting Lodge activities. He is responsible for program planning, physical arrangements, and inspections at all Lodge activities. He is responsible for the operation of the following committees: Camp Promotions, Dixie Fellowship, Internet, Kitchen, Publications, and Service Vice Chief of Program He is responsible for all Indian Affair Activities in the Lodge. He coordinates the


1

Activities, Brotherhood Conversion, Elections, Elangomats, Ceremonies, and the Dance/Sing Team committees. He supervises all activities regarding the callout and induction of new members and the proper recording of these actions. Secretary He is the keeper of Lodge records and handles all Lodge correspondences. He records and prepares minutes of all Lodge and Executive Committee meetings. He is in charge of registration at all Lodge activities. He supervises the preparation of all Lodge correspondences, such as dues notices, new candidate letters and Brotherhood letters. He develops a calendar for the mailout of meeting notices and all other communications. He updates all Lodge membership records in the Lodge computer. He is also responsible for the creation and maintenance of the Lodge’s website. Treasurer He is the collector of all Lodge dues and record keeper of dues collection. He maintains inventories of all Lodge materials intended for sale and prepares orders for new stock as needed. He maintains the Lodge financial records and prepares reports on the Lodge’s financial status for the Executive Committee meetings. He prepares the annual Lodge budget and is responsible for operating the Lodge trading post at Lodge activities. Operating Committees Responsibilities and Goals The Lodge is broken down into committees that carry out the responsibilities of the Lodge. Each committee has a chair and advisor. Committee responsibilities are decided by the Lodge Chief. Each committee submits an annual budget and goals. Without goals, we would not accomplish much. Activities This committee was formed in 1995. The Activities Committee organizes and produces at least one show for each of the four Lodge functions. They offer a theme for each weekend and see that each show is fun and interesting. During the Fellowship weekends this committee is responsible for the afternoon program. Camp Promotions A major responsibility of the Order of the Arrow is to promote camping. This is the primary responsibility of the Camp Promotions Committee. They promote summer camp at Ho Non Wah, camporees and camporalls, individual unit camping, high adventure, and Lodge activity attendance. The committee uses visual aids, printed


1

2

materials, troop visitations, and word of mouth. The Camp Promotions Committee gathers, publishes, and promotes accurate information on activities for the year. They also assist new troops with camping procedures. The committee recruits and trains committee members in each District for troop visitations. The major goals are to produce a more interesting camp promotions video, distributing two (2) copies to each Lodge Chapter for promoting summer camp at Camp Ho Non Wah, and to develop and mail out to unit leaders a camp promotions brochure by the end of January each year. Ceremonies The primary responsibility of the Ceremonies Committee is the performance of all Lodge ceremonies: Ordeal, Brotherhood, and Vigil. This committee is also responsible for the construction, repair and maintenance of the ceremonial outfits. They keep the Lodge ceremonial grounds and pageant grounds in order at Camp Ho Non Wah. The Ceremonies Committee develops and coordinates the formal procedure for holding callout ceremonies for units, districts, camporees, and summer camp. Their goals include: replacing ceremony outfits, conducting ceremonies on time, and providing wellmaintained and welllit grounds. Dance/Sing Team The main responsibilities of the Dance/Sing Team Committee are the promotion of the Lodge via performances within the council, and making and repairing dance team equipment owned by the Lodge. The team also teaches and promotes dancing and Indian traditions including outfit construction. They promote attendance at the annual area Indian Seminar. The team performs a competitive dance at the Area Fellowship and encourages individual participation. The Dance/Sing Team Committee develops a dance program suitable for Lodge, public, and council viewing. The team promotes the Lodge by public performances and assists with the pageant on visitor’s night during summer camp. Goals include recruiting more members. Dixie Fellowship The main responsibility of the Dixie Fellowship Committee is to work year round to ensure a successful delegation is sent to the SR5 Dixie Fellowship in terms of Administrative Events, Quest Events, AIA Events, logistics and transportation, and the Lodge of the Year petition. This Committee works with the Lodge Chief to ensure that the Lodge is a National Quality Lodge for each year. Elangomats This committee is responsible for setting up and operating the Elangomat clan


1

3

system at all Lodge Ordeals. They train new committee members on how the Elangomat clan system works. They recruit clan members from their committee for each Ordeal. They are also responsible for new Lodge member orientation and the promotion to the Brotherhood Honor. An Elangomat, meaning friend, is responsible for an Ordeal Member’s Brotherhood questioning. The Elangomat committee makes sure the Ordeals run smoothly from start to finish. The Elangomats also take the responsibility of leading their clan members to the Brotherhood honor. Kitchen/Cook Crew The Kitchen / Cook Crew committee is responsible for the planning, purchasing and cooking of all meals at Lodge activities. Publications Publications produce at least four (4) newspapers per calendar year on a timely basis. This includes developing a format for the newspaper and coordinating the printing, addressing, and mailing of the newspaper. The publications committee enters the newspaper into competition at the Area Fellowship. They also produce the Planbook, and the Where to go Camping Guide. Goals are to emphasize: support and service to all Lodge Committees, activities in the Lodge, upcoming activities, and attendance at activities, Brotherhood Conversion, and meeting publication deadlines. Service This committee is responsible for all work projects conducted at all Lodge activities. They are the primary point of contact for the Lodge’s One Day of Service. Unit Elections The committee recruits and trains members in every District for unit election teams. The Unit Election Teams officiate at annual unit elections in every eligible unit within the council. The committee maintains accurate records of individuals (candidates) elected, candidate addresses, and what units have held elections. They coordinate with everyone involved to insure that all aspects of registration are carried out at the Ordeals. They are also responsible for communications with those eligible for Brotherhood. Notable Ad Hoc Committees/Task Forces

Lodge Activities The Lodge normally hosts four activities each year at Camp Ho Non Wah. These are the Spring Ordeal, the Spring Fellowship, the Fall Ordeal and the Fall Fellowship. The cost for each activity varies depending on whether you are a regular member ($25.00), Brotherhood candidate ($40.00), or an Ordeal candidate ($45.00). Function patches are included in the cost for the weekend; additional patches are available at the trading post. The activities all begin on Friday night with registration, some sort of program feature, meetings, and cracker barrel. The Saturday schedule involves Ordeal or Fellowship activities, ceremonies, a cracker barrel and at the Fall Fellowship a patch auction. Sunday morning features religious services and a general Lodge Meeting. Usually the activities begin around 7 p.m. on Friday and wrap up around 10 a.m. on Sunday. A small meal is usually served Friday night. The trading post is opened at specific times during the weekend selling Lodge supplies, soft drinks, etc. In order for the Lodge to prepare for an activity, all members who will attend should preregister. An event flyer and an email is sent out to all active Arrowmen approximately four (4) weeks prior to an activity. The flyer requests that all Arrowmen planning to attend the activity preregister by mailing the registration fee to the council service center two (2) weeks in advance of the activity. (The deadline is indicated in the flyer.) The purpose for preregistering is to provide us with a firm commitment as to the total number of Arrowmen that will attend the activity. That way we can make sure that we have ample supplies (FOOD, FOOD, FOOD, just in case you were wondering) for the weekend. We offer an early bird discount if your register early. During the activities all campsites are available for camping. However, depending on the time of year and the number of Arrowmen attending the activity, camp cabin and tent space may be limited. Because of this, it is recommended that all Arrowmen bring their own tents to ensure their sleeping arrangements. Ordeals The Ordeals are held primarily for two very important purposes. The first is to


1

7

induct new members into the Lodge and into the Order of the Arrow. The second is based on the OA purpose of giving cheerful service to others and the Coastal Carolina Council. The purpose of an Ordeal is for Arrowmen to give cheerful service, taking on projects large and small for the overall welfare of Camp Ho Non Wah. Fellowships Fellowships are primarily weekends of training and fun. The exciting Quest for the Golden Arrow competition is held at the Spring Fellowship in preparation for the SR5 Dixie Fellowship. Lodge elections and a Brotherhood Conversion are accomplished during the Spring Fellowship. The Fall Fellowship includes: Lodge training seminars, the Lodge Fall Banquet, the Vigil Honor Tap out, the Founder’s Award Presentation, and a Brotherhood Conversion. Service projects are also a part of our Fellowships as we strive to give cheerful service that benefits our Camp. The SR5 Section Fellowship (a.k.a. Dixie Fellowship) This is an annual event attended by the Lodge and also hosted by each Lodge every ten years. It is attended by eleven Lodges, which make up Southern Region 5, consisting of all the Lodges in South Carolina, one Georgia Lodge, and four from North Carolina. It also goes by other names such as the area conference, section conference, or conclave. The Fellowship is held for the purpose of fun, fellowship, and training, but not necessarily in that order. Competitive events are held between the Lodges testing both physical and scouting skills. This event is called the “Quest for the Golden Arrow.” The Lodges also compete in several Indian Lore Categories that are ceremonial competition, outfit competition, and dance competition in both group and individual categories. The Lodges also compete in displays, planbooks, newsletters, and camping booklets. There is even a competition in totem pole carving. Section officers are elected Saturday evening at the Fellowship. National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) Every three years, the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) is held at a major university, usually in August. This event is similar to an area conclave except that it is on a national level with about 7,000 in attendance. The conference program includes training sessions, fellowship, American Indian Activities and much


1

more. The 2018 NOAC will be held in August at Indiana University. For more information about NOAC check out the Lodge’s website. National Leadership Seminars (NLS) The National Leadership Seminar is a weekend conference focusing primarily on the skills and attributes of leadership. It is intended primarily to enhance the leadership skills of the Order of the Arrow’s key youth and adult members as they seek to improve their service to the Boys Scouts of America and the greater community.

OA Troop Representative Program The Order of the Arrow Troop/Team Representative program began in 1999 for the purpose of improving communications between lodges and units. The Troop/Team Representative serves as the liaison between Unali’Yi Lodge 236 and his troop and has several responsibilities. He is responsible for setting up OA Elections and encouraging Arrowmen to assume leadership positions and set good examples. He is also responsible for promoting year round and resident camping within his Troop. As a reminder, this position counts as a leadership position for rank advancement. Representatives are contacted via email or phone by their Chapter Chief to verify contact information and to assist the Lodge with providing information to the units. Please have the following information about your unit’s representative when you register your OA Troop Representative: name, mailing address, phone number, email address, OA honor, OA chapter, scouting experience, and OA experience. The unit leader’s email address is also needed. To register, please email our Vice Chief of Administration at [email protected]. We understand that the Troop/Team Representative position is not an official part of Venturing. However, we would like Venture Crews to appoint an unofficial representative who is under 21 as some Crews have Arrowmen that are no longer active in a Troop or Team and we would like to communicate with them as well. Please take the opportunity to share this letter with members of your unit and select a representative as soon as possible. If you do not have an Arrowman in your troop, please visit our website and let us know. If you have any questions or concerns, you may refer to the Order of the Arrow Handbook, site236.com, or the National OA Web Site at http://www.oabsa.org.

The Obligation of the Order

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.

Explanation of the Obligation Although our many service projects are valuable to Scouting, the main benefit is less obvious. The Order’s primary concern is the individual, and the Order’s function is to spread the spirit of brotherhood and cheerful service. You do the work of the Order in your home, your troop, and your school. More than anything else, your own example of cheerfulness to others accomplishes the Order’s aim. The Obligation of the Order is one way we remind ourselves of our special duties. Memorize it just as you did the Scout Oath and Law. Remember the three principles of the Order, and you will easily learn it.

“Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui” means “the brotherhood of cheerful service” or “brotherhood, cheerfulness, and service,” the three principles of the Order. Your actions by living the Obligation as a member of your troop fulfill the primary goals of the Order. As you read this handbook as a companion to the OA handbook, you will see how you can promote camping and camping


2

traditions in your troop, how you can help your fellow Scouts, and how you can participate in the activities of the Order. But remember the main work of the Order is done by you, usually alone and without praise or reward. “He alone is worthy to wear the Arrow who will continue faithfully to serve his fellow man.”

Order of the Arrow Song Words by E. Urner Goodman

The Purpose of the Order The purpose of the Order of the Arrow is fourfold:

1. To recognize those Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and law in their daily lives and by such recognition cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner as to warrant recognition. 2. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. 3. To promote Scout Camping both year round and in the summer camp, as directed by the camping committee of the Council. 4. To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.

Membership Requirements A youth candidate for membership must be a registered member of a Boy Scout troop or Varsity Scout team and hold the First Class Rank. The youth must have experienced 15 days and nights, of which must include six consecutive days of resident camping, approved and under the auspices and standards of the Boy Scouts of America. The remainder of the camping must be overnight, weekend, or other shortterm camps. Scouts are elected to the Order by their fellow unit members, following the approval by the Scoutmaster or Varsity Team Coach. The Order of the Arrow allows only youth of the unit, under the age of 21, to vote for its candidates for membership. The Order is one of the few organizations that allow nonmembers to vote on membership. For this reason, the election process is very important to the Order. Unlike political offices, Ordeal membership is not a campaign. Scouts are told to make their own decision in voting. No one can influence their decision. This way, only the Scouts who have the respect of their fellow Scouts are elected into the Order. The activities of the Order are not limited to youth. The Lodge cannot operate without the guidance of selected capable adults. Units, after holding a valid youth election, and Districts can submit the name of one adult. The Lodge’s adult selection committee will review the adult nominee. The Admonition During your Ordeal ceremony Allowat Sakima gave you a phrase in the Lenni Lenape language. You should remember this phrase and the sign of Ordeal membership because it can be used to confirm that another person is a member of the Order. The information should be safeguarded by only discussing it with other members of the Order, and it should not be written down. Ordeal Membership

Those elected as candidates have the opportunity to attend an Ordeal weekends offered by the Lodge. Attending an Ordeal is a requirement for lodge membership. The Ordeal is a weekend experience in which the candidate has the chance to


2

8

reflect on his/her Scout life and character through a series of test. Upon successful completion of the Ordeal, a candidate then becomes and Ordeal member of the Lodge. Brotherhood Membership

From the beginning of the Order in 1915, all members have been equal. There are no ranks. As an Ordeal member you are entitled to all the rights and privileges of membership in the Order. Yet, so important is the induction sequence that the Order strengthened it by creating Brotherhood membership. It is an opportunity for members to evaluate their past service to Scouting and the lodge since their Ordeal induction. The process for preparing yourself for brotherhood membership is explained in the OA handbook. An Ordeal member becomes eligible for Brotherhood membership ten months after completing his Ordeal. You must complete five challenges before you can enter the Circle of the Brotherhood:

1. Memorize the signs of Arrow membership, which include the OA handclasp, the Obligation, the OA song, the Admonition, and the sign of Ordeal membership. 2. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal. Gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you passed. 3. Serve your unit. Retain your membership, and fulfill your Obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your own troop or team. 4. Plan for service in the Lodge. Retain your membership and make a pledge of service to the lodge. 5. Review your progress. When you feel you have earnestly meet the first 4 challenges write a letter to the Lodge Secretary; explain what the Obligation means to you, describe how you fulfilled the Obligation in your own unit, and describe specific plans for giving service in the lodge program.

The Vigil Honor

9

The Vigil Honor is the highest honor of the Order that the Lodge can bestow upon its members. It is reserved for those Arrowmen who have made distinguished contributions beyond the immediate responsibilities of their position or office to the Lodge, the Order of the Arrow, Scouting or Scout camp. Any member of the Order of the Arrow registered in Scouting and has been a Brotherhood member for two years is eligible for recommendation to the National Order of the Arrow Committee for elevation to the Vigil Honor. The Lodge’s Vigil Honor committee is responsible for determining eligibility and selecting candidates who they feel are best qualified for this honor, and recommending them to the National Order of the Arrow Committee.

Your OA Sash When you went through your Ordeal ceremony, an Ordeal sash was placed over your right shoulder. This is the correct place for the sash, over the shoulder and never folded and tucked into your belt. Wear your sash at Lodge activities and at council or district activities in which the Lodge participates. You do not wear your sash to a regular troop meeting, but wear it to a unit election or court of honor. You should not wear it to a camporee, but wear it to a callout ceremony. The OA Handbook Remember when you first joined Scouting? One of your first Scouting acquisitions was a Scout Handbook. You probably took the book home, sat down and devoured it in one sitting with great anticipation of the Scouting adventures you would undertake. We hope you do the same with your OA Handbook. The handbook will be your chief resource on the Order. Always bring it with you to Lodge activities. Lodge Supplies The Lodge operates a trading post at each activity to sell Lodge supplies, such as patches, mugs, and Tshirts. There are also drink machines at camp and the council may briefly open the camp trading post during the weekend. It is always a good idea to bring additional pocket money with you to Lodge activities. You never know what might turn up on sale in the trading post. Your Lodge Record The Lodge secretary maintains a membership record for you on the Lodge computer. The record has all your basic information such as address, birthdate, and dates of your Ordeal, Brotherhood, and Vigil attainments. This information is used to send out your membership card, your Lodge publications, and Lodge notices. Your record also determines your eligibility for Brotherhood and Vigil. Notify the Lodge secretary through at [email protected] or at a Lodge activity as soon as possible if your phone number, address, or unit number changes. Unit Elections

Every unit in the council with eligible members should have an OA election each year. Did you know that a unit can hold only one election per year and the elected candidates have one year to go through the Ordeal? You would know this and all other rules about holding elections if you were to join the unit elections committee. The primary purpose of the committee is to conduct an OA election for each unit every year. The official election procedure is outlined in the OA handbook. Unit election training is offered at most lodge fellowships and can be given at a chapter meeting. If you are interested in helping with unit elections, please contact the Lodge Unit Elections Chairman or his Adviser. Lodge Dues & Active Membership Each year the Lodge collects dues from its members to order supplies, to pay for the operational expenses of the Lodge, to register you with the national office, and to keep the Lodge on a sound financial structure. The calendar year is January 1 through December 31. Your $15 yearly dues for 2015 are due by December 15, 2014 or you will be dropped from the active membership of the Lodge. Your first year’s dues were included in your candidate fee. Every fall, the Lodge sends out reregistration information for you to send in with your dues payment. If you should fail to pay your Lodge dues or if you drop out of Scouting, you are no longer considered a member of the Order and are no longer eligible to wear the Lodge flap. Always keep your receipt when you pay your dues. The Lodge usually sends out membership cards once a month. Active membership within the lodge means that your dues are paid for the current year and that you attend two out of the four lodge functions a year. We ask that if you drop your membership with the Lodge, for whatever reason, that you remove the Lodge flap.

Lodge History Highlights Unali’yi Lodge #236 has made a significant contribution to the history Order of the Arrow not only locally, but also on an area and national level. It all began back in 1943 when “Chief” J. Rucker Newbery was hired as Scout Executive of the Coastal Carolina Council. Newbery had received the nickname “Chief” for his many contributions to the Order, primarily for his starting or helping to start many O.A. lodges throughout the Southeast. He was a national officer of the O.A. and also served on the National Executive Committee for many years. The following is a chronological list of people and events that have shaped our lodge into the fine organization it is today.

1943

May — Unali’yi is chartered with the National Office of the BSA as the 236th O.A. lodge on May11. The first Ordeal is held on the weekend of May 1416 at Camp HoNonWah. Six brothers put on the Ordeal from TomoChiChi Lodge #119 of Savannah. Thirtythree scouters and leaders go through this first Ordeal, thus becoming our founding, or charter members. Jerome Moskow, a young leader from Andrews, is appointed the first lodge chief. The work project was a dock built on Bohicket Creek. Summer — The first staffed summer program is held at HoNonWah for the Council. Construction of the “swimming hole” was dug in front of the White House and completed in 1944.

Vigil Honor Recipients The Vigil Honor is the highest honor the Order awards to its members for service above and beyond the call of duty. In the early days of the lodge, Vigil members were very rare. Lodge founder J. Rucker Newbery became the first Vigil Honor member of Unali’yi in 1946. Vigil ceremonies were sporadic during the 1940’s and 1950’s. Beginning in 1972, there has been a Vigil ceremony every year. Listed below are all the Vigil members who received this honor.
