BROTHERHOOD CANDIDATE INFORMATION

So what now?  The information on this page will hopefully answer your questions.  So read on!

​

So what is next?

You have many opportunities to get involved in the lodge and to complete your brotherhood conversion! 

• Getting involved

  • Both of our chapters hold many chapter meetings throughout the year! Contact your chapter leadership and lodge leadership to learn about specific days these meetings are being held! Getting involved in your chapter will allow you to meet other arrowmen and get involved. You also can look at our LEC officer's and their committees to see if something interests you!

• Completing your brotherhood

  • Your brotherhood "seals" your membership in the Order of the Arrow, it is not a rank above ordeal members. At the bottom of this page are the candidate checklist and guide. The guide is password protected with the admonition of the order. If you need help remembering the admonition, please contact an LEC officer, Chapter Officer, or Arrowmen that you know!​
    ​

How do I register for the weekend?

Register for your Brotherhood Weekend, by using the event registration links under the calendar tab. This will take you to the council website where you will then select the Brotherhood Candidate option. You will then be required to pay online via credit card to complete your registration and you will receive a confirmation email message of your successful registration.

​​

What is the schedule for the weekend?

You need to arrive on Friday evening at Camp between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm and go to the registration location. Earlier arrival is better than later. 

Unless you pre-purchased a steak during registration, you will need to eat before you come or bring your supper with you.

All meals on Saturday and Sunday breakfast will be provided. 

You can leave after the camp is clean on Sunday morning following worship service, which is typically around 10:00 am.

​​

What do I need to bring?

This is a regular camping event for old brothers, so pack as you would for any other camp out, be sure to bring your Sash and Field Uniform (Class A). Be sure to bring your own tent or hammock!
​

What if I have special medical or dietary needs?

Please make sure to note any medical conditions or dietary restrictions in the appropriate fields during registration.

​​

What do I do when I arrive Friday evening?

You will go through registration (wearing your Class-A/Field uniform and with your Medical Form in hand), stow your non-Friday bag in the designated location, and then wait with your Friday bag until the activities begin (which should be around 7:30 pm).  Make sure that you can easily carry your Friday bag around Camp!

​

What if I have questions?

If you have questions, please use the "Contact Us" form on the home page of this website or by contacting the Palmetto Council Service Center via the information on the same form.

Again, Congratulations, and we look forward to seeing you up at Camp for your Brotherhood weekend!
