You're Brotherhood, Now What?You have confirmed your commitment to the Order of the Arrow and you are now a Brotherhood member. Although, as a Brotherhood member your first responsibility in Scouting is still your troop or team. Your Scout leader relies on your example, as an older, more experienced Scout. Yet as a Brotherhood member you want to take on more responsibilities in the Order. For advice on how to accomplish this, please see below.

CommunicationBefore assuming any new task, discuss it with your Scout leader. Together, determine how it affects your troop or team life. When your Scout leader knows you are working for Scouting outside your unit, he or she can better help you plan your activities within the unit. Start by limiting yourself to responsibilities that will not conflict with your troop. If you eventually choose to assume a leadership role in the Order, recognize that you will have less time to spend with your unit. As a lodge officer or committee member, you will have to plan around the needs of all the Brothers, not just those in your own unit.

Get InvolvedRemember, there are many ways to serve in the Order. You will be most successful as a Brotherhood member if you match your service to your needs. Finally, if you have the opportunity, discuss possible service with a lodge or chapter officer, who will cheerfully show you many ways to serve.
