Chance Crossland earns Order of the Arrow recognition

Posted by admin Published in Boy Scouts

Crow River District – Chance Crossland, has earned the Order of the Arrow, which is the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America.

Chance successfully completed the induction ceremony, called the Ordeal, the first step toward full membership. During the Ordeal, candidates maintain silence, receive small amounts of food, work on camp improvement projects and are required to sleep alone, apart from other campers. The entire experience is designed to teach significant values.

The four stated purposes of the Order of the Arrow are:

To recognize those Scout campers who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives.

To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit.

To promote Scout camping.

To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.Scouts are elected to the Order by their fellow troop members, following approval by the Scoutmaster. The scout must be a rank of 1st Class or above, have experienced 15 days and nights of Boy Scout camping during the two-year period prior to the election. The 15 days and nights must include one, but no more than one, long-term camp consisting of six consecutive days and five nights of resident camping, approved and under the auspices and standards of the Boy Scouts of America. The balance of the camping must be overnight, weekend, or other short-term camps.

Chance holds the rank of Life Scout as a member of Troop 3682 in the Crow River District, where he resides.
