Brotherhood

1. Serve your unit for 10 months since becoming a member of the Order of the Arrow.

2. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal.

3. Plan for service in your lodge. Retain your registration in the lodge and keep your dues paid.

4. Memorize the signs of Arrow membership:
a. Obligation
b. OA song
c. Arrow handclasp
d. the Admonition (consult a Brotherhood or Vigil member)
e. Sign of the Ordeal membership

5. Review your progress. Write a letter to the lodge secretary explaining what the Obligation means to you. Describe how you have been fulfilling this Obligation in your daily life. Also describe your specific plans for giving service in the lodge.

6. You don’t have to go through the Ordeal again. You only have to do the Ordeal once!
So don’t let that stop you from obtaining the Brotherhood honor.

When you feel that you are ready to obtain the Brotherhood honor, come to an Ordeal or Fall Fellowship. There you may go through the Brotherhood ceremony.
