Order of the Arrow 2021 Election Packet
The Black Eagle Lodge has issued the 2021 Unit Elections Packet for Troops and Crews. It contains updated information from the National OA about COVID related extensions and guidelines. Ideally a member of the Lodge would come to a meeting to conduct an election, but the guide details how units can conduct their own elections. The Black Eagle Lodge asks that unit elections be completed by April 30th. Please go to https://www.tac-bsa.org/OA to download the packet.
