Tulpe Lodge 102's First Ordeal (April 29-May 1, 2016)

5/1/2016

0 Comments

 
Members of Troop 17 were part of OA history, as they took part in the new Tulpe Lodge 102's first Ordeal weekend. Tulpe Lodge 245 and Abnaki Lodge 102 combined to form the new Order of the Arrow lodge.

We welcomed 4 new Arrowmen, as Dhiren M. , Nathan A., Konnor B., and Noah G. completed their ordeal and became members in the Order of the Arrow. Josh G and Mr. Griffin sealed their membership in the OA by completing the Brotherhood trail. Anthony K and Mr Gillogly helped with the brotherhood trail, and Patrick D helped with the ordeal and the C-Team (keeping a steady beat).


Cheerful service was everywhere! Congrats to all!

The Order of the Arrow celebrated its 100th birthday with a huge event at Michigan State University.  Over 10,000 Arrowmen, including many from our troop, travelled by air to the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC),  Besides some training, the Arrowmen enjoyed HUGE stadium shows (with BSA President Bill Gates, Maddie & Tae, and the National Chief and Vice Chief), exhibitions, demonstrations, activities (Obstacle courses, spar poles, bubble soccer and even Quiddich), great ice cream and even a Grand Hodag.  We were also given a challenge to give service to others -- Dare to Do!  There was too much fun to capture in these few photos.

The Spring Ordeal for the Great and Powerful Tulpe Nation was a big one for Troop 17. We had 5 new members complete their Ordeal, had 2 more seal their memberships by completing their broth old trail, and even had a new Vigil Honor member. Coupled with those helping out, Troop 17 had a big presence at Tulpe 245's last Spring Ordeal before the merger. Lots of cheerful service went on, as the Arrowmen helped out with many projects around Camp Norse, including work at the amphitheater.

The new Ordeal members were: Tim W., Aidan A., Jack M., Josh G. And Mr. Griffin.
The new Brotherhood members were: Patrick D. and Anthony K.
Mr. Ham was awarded the Vigil Honor. (Be sure to ask him what his name is in Lenni Lenape).

Congratulations to Ethan H., as he sealed his membership in the Order of the Arrow by completing the Brotherhood trail at the recent Tulpe Lodge Fall Ordeal.  As you can see, there were plenty of Troop 17 Arrowmen on-hand to give a little service and help along the way. 

Special recognition goes out to Ryan J., who did an excellent job as part of the C-team (ed. note: C stands for Ceremonies).  Thank you to the wonderful Arrowmen of the Great and Powerful Tulpe Nation for a great Fall Ordeal.  WWW

Troop 17 had a (Super) fantastic Scouting year in 2013!  We started with an Eagle, and ended with Trees.  In between, there was the Klondike Derby, the snowy Baseball Hall of Fame, Howe's Caverns, Mt. Cardigan, NYLT, Treasure Valley, a Scavenger Hunt in Boston, Camp Wanocksett & Lovell's Island, Summer Camp at Hidden Valley, Camp Yawgoog, OA Ordeals, a once-every-four-years MassJam, a great Project COPE trip and several parades and service projects.   

Below is a quick recap.  Enjoy!
