During the April 20 Troop meeting we will be conducting Order of the Arrow (OA) elections. The Order of the Arrow is the National Honor Society of Scouting America. Youth members are elected by their fellow Scouts. To be eligible for induction, a Scout must have achieved the rank of First Class, spent at least 15 days and nights camping within the last two years (six of which at a resident camp), and gain the approval of their unit leader. For an election to occur at least 50% plus 1 of the registered youth in the unit must be present to vote in person. Please make every effort to attend the Troop meeting on Monday, April 20 at 7pm in the basement of Holy Cross Church. Current OA members should wear their OA sashes.
