Ceremonies
Ceremonies are an important part of the Chapter functions. From Tap-out ceremonies to vigil call outs, it is all done with spectacular grace and impressive and grand style.
This section of the site is password protected. Links to files will require the appropriate passwords in order to continue.
The purpose of the "Safeguarded Area" is to maintain the mystery of the ceremonies, in order to create expectancy in the candidates. There are no secrets, and the Order of the Arrow is not a secret society. Individuals legitimately interested in the Order, it nature, purpose or method, may be told this information.
The Safeguarded Area is useful to those youth who perform OA ceremonies, or would like to.
