Our Lodge
Meet your 2025-2026 Lodge Officers
Lodge Chief
Keane P.
My name is Keane, and I am extremely honored to serve as your Lodge Chief this year!
My vision for the year can be attributed to this age old saying: “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” Not only is that saying relevant because of our nation’s upcoming quarter millennia anniversary, but also because we must unite together as a lodge, as constellations, and as chapters.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so we all NEED to be able to support each other, or the chain of our lodge shall break. Uniting us all is no simple task however, as we are one of the largest lodges in the nation. So how can we accomplish such a daunting task? Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service.
Build relationships with one another. Ask people to come to events, don’t tell them. Serve cheerfully, not like you don’t want to be there. Leave time for fellowship, encourage the next generation of scouts to lead, and always remember the admonition. Small everyday acts of kindness and love directed towards others will keep our chain strong, and ensure that Totanhan Nakaha will never fall.
Lodge Vice Chief
Oliver J.
Hi, I’m Oliver! I’m a Vigil Member out of Shorelines(M) Chapter. As Lodge Vice Chief I want to continue the mission of the OA by being the reason why scouts stay in scouting. The OA had always been a welcoming place to me and has brought me so much joy and I hope to share that foundation with others. I hope to build chapters up, give resources where it is needed while providing excellent program, and create a home for the OA in camps, troops, and the community.
Secretary of Communications
Nick Z.
As a member of our Lodge, I wish to be able to assist and attend as many lodge and above events that I can during this term, strength the ties of brotherhood that we so cherish as that is what I love the most in the Order of the Arrow. It is my duty to make sure you have a good experience in knowing what is happening now and in the future of our Lodge.
Secretary of Fellowship
Robert M.
Secretary of Finance
JJ W.
Coming out of our centennial year, I’d like to keep that spirit of achievement and fellowship that we just harnessed. As your Secretary of Finance, I will do this by ensuring we have the funds needed to have truly awesome programs and experiences that everyone will enjoy and come back to. I’ll also make sure that we have enough cool swag for everyone to leave those programs with a memory that they can smile back upon. Whether it’s an induction event, or a moose plushie. I believe there is something for everyone in our organization, and I want to help keep that a reality.”
Secretary of Membership
Joe Y.
Hello, I’m Joe! I am a brotherhood member from Ursa Major (G) Chapter. I served for 3 years as the Ursa Major Chapter’s Secretary of Membership / Vice Chief of Elections. My experience provided foundational and background knowledge of the elections process and the coordination and execution of more than a dozen elections yearly. I’m confident that experience will allow me to better serve and support the local chapter elections officers/teams as I move up to the lodge level. In my position I hope to serve the entire lodge as best as I can to make sure we have a smooth election season and keep our records updated. I can’t wait to work with you all as the Lodge Secretary of Membership for 2025-2026.
Secretary of Training
Grace J.
Hi my name is Grace and this year as Lodge Secretary of Training I want to prioritize the overall development of our leaders through effective trainings. The main thing I’ll be focusing on is the delivery of training starting with Unit Elections Training at Fall Fellowship and University of Scouting. Then, at Lodge Leadership Development, our Officers and the Officers of Naguonabe Lodge will be training our members with skills to bring back to their Lodges, Chapters, and Units. This year I also want to ensure that training is a fun opportunity for all members in the OA. I look forward to the year to come as well as paving the way forward for the future Lodge Officers through these opportunities and through our annual Officer Onboarding.
Secretary of Service
Kathryn H.
Hi I’m Kathryn! I have previously served as the Chapter O Chief for two years and I am now super excited for this new journey in the OA as Lodge Secretary of Service. I hope to help others build a love for service and to show the Scouting community that service is fun and so very fulfilling!
