Lodge Leadership Development
Behind every OA function is the need for planning and leadership. Lodge Leadership Development (LLD) offers us the chance to provide training aimed at improving leadership and teaching about the many facets of the Order.
To help orient new youth officers and adult advisers in their roles, the Totanhan Nakaha Lodge offers an annual Lodge Leadership Development program. Lodge Leadership Development is open to any Arrowman that is currently registered with the Boy Scouts of America and the Totanhan Nakaha Lodge.
The training offered at Lodge Leadership Development covers a variety of topics including camping promotions, conservation project planning, ceremonies, leadership development, local Troop and Pack support, and Lodge and Chapter management.
