Troop 129 - First OA Election

On Monday night, we had two members from the Order of the Arrow attend our meeting and conduct Troop 129's first OA Elections. This is an honor that bestowed on Scouts that exemplify the Scouting Spirit and it asks that the Scout continue with thier service to the Scouting Program. To qualify a Scout must be the rank of First Class or higher, have attened 15 nights of troop camping in the last two years, including at lease one long term camp and then be elected by the troop for demonstrating Scout Spirit. In this picture, an OA Member Acknowledges the election of Even Ferguson and Luc Hairston. Each of these Scouts will need to pass a weekend ordeal, where they will receive minimal food and hard labor, to further demonstrate their commitment.
