Incredible call-out ceremonies happen here!

Our Order of the Arrow Lodge, Tsoiosti Tsogalii, actively supports our summer camp program. ​

Monday Night Cracker Barrel

  • After Twilight programs end on Monday evening, the OA lodge hosts a cracker barrel for all OA members in the OA Lodge Building.
  • The cracker barrel begins at 10:00 pm. Scouts will be out of campsites after taps.

  • During the Monday night cracker barrel the lodge officers and youth OA members in camp will plan the Thursday night Call-out ceremony.

  • All Brotherhood and Vigil members are invited to observe the Brotherhood ceremony.
  • Youth Brotherhood and Vigil members, regardless of lodge membership, are invited to serve as torch barriers for the ceremony.
  • Unfortunately, due to national OA policies, we are not able to conduct Brotherhood conversion for OA members not in our lodge; however, Brotherhood & Vigil members from other lodges are invited to participate in the ceremony. 

​Call-Out Ceremony

  • The Call-out ceremony is part of the campfire during Thursday’s Family Night.
  • OA youth members, even those from other lodges, are invited to participate in the ceremony.
  • OA youth members can volunteer to participate in the ceremony during the Monday night cracker barrel.
  • We practice the call-out ceremony after lunch on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
  • If the proper paperwork is completed, we are able to call-out OA candidates from other lodges.
  • The OA summer camp representative will review the Call-out ceremony procedures with adult leaders during the Thursday leaders meeting.
  • The lodge hosts an informational meeting for newly called-out Scouts and their families after the Thursday night campfire.
