Each spring and fall the lodge hosts 4 induction conclaves to welcome new members to the Order of the Arrow. These conclaves are focused on welcoming OA members elected from last fall to the spring of this year. Newly elected candidates whose units have announced the election results will receive an invitation to attend a conclave in the US Mail. If the unit has not announced the election results by April 1st, the candidates will not receive an invitation till after Summer Camp.
We also encourage all current OA members to attend a conclave every year as well. You may attend any weekend that works for your schedule.
In addition, all spring conclaves are also hosting Brotherhood ceremonies for current Ordeal members. See below for more information.

Brotherhood Ceremonies
Now is your opportunity to become an Order of the Arrow Brotherhood Member. If you have been an Ordeal member for at least 6 months it is time to seal your membership in the Order of the Arrow by becoming a Brotherhood Member.
What is Brotherhood?
Brotherhood membership completes the induction process. Before becoming Brotherhood, each Arrowman makes a special effort to serve his unit and commits to even more service through the Order. Brotherhood is when you are ready for more. When you have learned about the high ideals of the Order and made them part of your life, you may become a Brotherhood member.
Why should I become a Brotherhood member?
Your fellow Scouts elected you to the Order of the Arrow for your camping ability and Scouting spirit. Your Ordeal membership is a time when you can reflect on the experience of the Ordeal, get to know what the OA is about, and decide to accept additional obligations. Brotherhood members are those who seal their membership in the Order by pledging their service.
