Fellow Arrowmen,
Tejas Lodge will conduct our 2024 Summer Ordeal Induction during the weekend of July 19-20, 2024. This is when we will induct Scouts and Scouters who were elected to membership into the Order of the Arrow. This is also an opportunity for YOU to serve Scouting and Tejas Lodge by giving back and providing service to our council camp, George W. Pirtle Scout Reservation. In order for this to be a successful event, we need members to attend and help in several different ways, including serving as an ELANGOMAT, helping with CEREMONIES, working on SERVICE PROJECTS, and having fun with your brother Arrowmen! If you are willing to serve in one of these capacities, please contact your Chapter Adviser or Chapter Officers.
You will need your own tent, water bottle or canteen, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, camping equipment, Field Uniform, OA Sash, weather-appropriate clothing, and toiletries as well as a copy of Part A and B of your Annual Health and Medical Record. Check-in begins at 7:00 PM on Friday and we will depart camp by 8:00 PM on Saturday.

You will need your BSA ID number to complete the online form along with payment. The member fee for this event is $20.00. Members who have purchased a Golden Ticket are prepaid but still need to let us know you are attending. If you cannot successfully use this online process, let us know by emailing tejas72lodge@gmail.com
We can’t wait to see you as we join in fellowship and service and welcome our new members to the Order of the Arrow!
