The Order of the Arrow is
Scouting’s National Honor Society. Tom Kita Chara Lodge provides
service to Samoset Council, especially through its summer
program, by offering opportunities for Scouts to experience
fellowship, service, and personal growth.
OA Summer Program
•In-Camp Scoutmasters must verify Ordeal candidates with the OA
Coordinator on Sunday at the Leaders Meeting. Even units not
having anyone Called-Out must still touch base with the OA
Coordinator at the mentioned time.
•$42.00 must be paid for each candidate going through his
Ordeal. These fees will be automatically added to your units
bill upon checkout.
•Sandpainting/Call-Out preparation on Wednesday is open to all
Arrowmen.
•Those Arrowmen under 21 years of age may participate in OA
ceremonies with permission from the OA Coordinator, whose
discretion determines final role assignments. Parts cannot be
guaranteed.
•Those interested in serving as Ordeal Masters on Thursday
should see the OA Coordinator.
•Tom Kita Chara Arrowmen interested in becoming Brotherhood
members are invited to complete their interviews on Thursday.
$14.00 will cover the cost of a Brotherhood sash.

The ordeal packet costs $42.00 and will be automatically added
to your units bill upon checkout. The packet includes the

Non-Samoset Council Units
•Non-Samoset Council Ordeal candidates who wish to be Called-Out
at Tesomas need to provide a verification letter. One letter per
unit will suffice as long as it includes a unit number, names of
candidates along with youth/adult designation, and the unit’s
period at camp. The letter must be signed by the unit’s local
Lodge Chief, Lodge Adviser, and Staff Adviser. The signature of
the unit’s local Council Scout Executive is acceptable in place
of the Lodge Key Three. The letter should be sent to Tesomas
(c/o OA Coordinator) by June 1.
•Non-Samoset Council Ordeal members cannot earn Brotherhood at
Tesomas.
•Non-Samoset Council Arrowmen are welcome to attend the OA
ceremonies.
Scoutmaster Belt Buckles
Tom Kita Chara Lodge is once again proud to sponsor this
program. A limited edition belt buckle will be given to the
In-Camp Scoutmaster from each unit meeting the following
standards:
•The unit and In-Camp Scoutmaster stay the entire week in camp.
•The unit operates independently without being a combination of
units.
Please consult Tom Kita Chara’s website for
more information, documents, and lodge forms. Questions may be
emailed to camp@samoset.org.
