The John Ross Chapter Newsletter

Hey everyone! Niko here - sorry I am a little later than I wanted to be on getting this month's newsletter out to you all.


The first John Ross District OA Chapter Meeting was held during the monthly District Round Table on March 12, and was attended by four Arrowmwn - not bad for going from zero to four! We discussed the upcoming Call Out Ceremony, new ways to stay informed and got to know each other. The next monthly meeting of the JR Chapter of the Order of the Arrow is on Tuesday April 9th at 6:30pm at Fort Oglethorpe United Methodist Church. Dinner will be served so bring a donation.


Call Out Ceremony Spring 2019


It has been a busy few weeks here. Our chapter held 5 elections, had a Ceremony where 13 new Ordeal Candidates were called out, and we had an awesome social after that where we chatted and had some Dutch Oven S'mores.

The turn out for the entire Camporee was great, and special thanks go out to our amazing Ceremonies team for making sure the new Candidates had a memorable experience. My OA Adviser took a few photos, but if you have any that you would like to share, please send them me and I will add them to the collection.

The OA Beaver Day at Skymont, while not well attended, had a few dedicated hard workers on site getting camp ready for the summer!

The OA conducts the opening Flag Ceremony, and I make a few announcements, then we break away from the rest and go to our own meeting. Dinner will be provided, so bring a donation.

For this months Topic, we will be chatting about participation. We will have a Q&A session FOR ALL ARROWMEN.... What would YOU like to see and do as an OA Member here in the John Ross Chapter? Let's all sit down and talk about what we see for ourselves as a team for activities we would like to do, and cheerful service opportunities. Do we want to get together once a month outside of our regular meeting and take a hike or a day kayaking trip? Let's get some ideas stirring!

“Things do not change. We change. If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined."
