oh - sorry - i just noticed the information from the most current and up to date OA Service bulletin - the vigil watchwords were changed by National and will be revealed at NOAC. I think the spelling of the admonition changed as well from Lenape to another tribe...I think that will be announced at NOAC as well. See you guys in Michigan!
Wow. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
There are those of us who would like to keep symbolic progression a "Mystery' - not a secret - but a mystery - so that the experience of the Order can be meaningful.
It is obvious to me that you have no understanding of the 12 points of the scout law - nor do you understand what it means to truly love your brother.
I would be personally grateful if you would remove this- I know you won't, because it appears you have no understanding
By admitting that your not OA, and knowing enough about the OA to publish this video, you have proven that these are NOT secrets! All you have done is make yourself look like a fool. I am a true believer that what comes around, goes around. If you knowingly do bad things, bad things will come to you. One day in your future, you will wake up & realize how ignorant you were for posting this info. For now, I'm sure you feel good about it, but you will have to live with it for the rest of your life.
The Order of the Arrow is not based on secrets.....The Order operates on an element of mystery. By vewing this video this mystery, anticipation and waiting extremely diminishes all of the Induction Principles. THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO BE REMOVED for the future of our order. So that future candidates will not have what is supposed to be a meaningful experience(becoming a member of the Order through the works of the Ordeal) ruined. PLEASE REMOVE!!!!
@gatorman237 To shroud something in a mystery to the extent that candidates are not allowed to have advance knowledge of the Ordeal or passwords, and to keep the passwords from the knowledge of the general public, are perfect examples what it means to keep something secret.
Your vociferous objection to the indiscriminate dissemination of the information is proof in itself that the knowledge is [supposed] to be kept secret. If it were not to be kept secret you would not object.
EVERYONE!!! he is NOT a member of the OA!!! he just some guy that hates it and wants it gone!!! probably because he doesnt really understand what its about
why are you trying to destroy an organization that has supported the boy scouts of america for almost 100 years and created lifelong memories for its members? has it ever done anything bad to you?
@TheRPGLPer i am not currently in the OA. but i know i will be tapped out at summer camp. and because of the weird ceremonies that i know know about i will decline to go through the ordeal. if the order has nothing to hide then this video is ok to post.

How dare you post this trad secrets, If you are a truly a scout member and a member of the OA which I know you not b/c you post this you should know that this is a group of highly rank scouts that reach and go above the duty of scouting. I have flag this and reported to my local chapter.
@ghjkla1 For me to rob them of "the most meaningful monents in Boy Scouting" they must look for this information, I am not making any one look at this.
Yes, this information is not secret. It is safeguarded. The reason it is that is so a parent/guardian can look at what is going to be done and judge if it is safe for their child to go through.

If you had known everything you were going to go through would it meant as much? For me I know it would not have.
tell you walk the path you dont know yes there is no secrets. just truth. it dose hurt the scouts there thing you must do on your owne arrowmen know this i repect your right to not to be one and i do see the his right to be prowd of arrowmen to post it for all to see as The brotherhood 1983 toll me this is for you and you alone this is your path its for you to see. am not a arrowmen am a watcher i must ask you do what you think is right
@techdude1996 Nope, I have already taken actions to get this information onto other sites, and should this channel be terminated I have created a backup to resume the spread of the admonition.
I think its wrong that you are putting this info out im a brotherhood member and i realy take the oa series and i dont understand why you have to put out this info that will ruin the experiance for many scouts at least take out the watch words and leave out vigle
Dude the OA is only a brotherhood of cheerful service they have no secrets. Please take this video down. Also you have a very skewed idea of the ordeal. They can have a flashlight, they get more food than that and its not hard physical labor. It is simply repetitive. There is no mistreatment. Please take this video down
It is in my personal views that the Order does not have or withold any secrets but believes in the wonder of mystery. This is truly ruining it for all. I am an arrowman and am proud of what I went through, however, I withold the information that is meant to be mysterious for that reason it is meant to be founded by new arrowmen. I think that it is wrong to have our mysteries up there, however you could have gladly known what happened as long as you respected it. But this is total Disrespect. WWW
lot of it good information for the newbie and parents but please take off the end part if some every go thur there brotherhood or vigil make less enjoyable so please change the end rest ok ( vigil member my self)
just because you were never in the oa and dont like the oa, it is still a part of the bsa and therefor this video is un-scout like. u are doing a disservice to scouting!
@fermi911 take it down, i dont care y its up just take it down and keep ur integrity or i will contact the national order of the arrow Chief. i have him on speed dial,
You didn't have to take an oath to keep it secret. Its meant to be respectful and uphold the traditions of The Order of the Arrow. You are not telling younger scouts so that they can experience the Ordeal themselves, by keeping it secret you make it more enjoyable and more memorable for your fellow scouts that are not in the OA. I advise for you to take this video off. Just because you know something doesn't mean that you have to tell everyone.
this video is just cold. we arrowman work so hard to support scouting, and this video is a slap in the face to what we do. dispite what you might think, it is not an indain cult. if you were in the oa you would understand that. just because youve figured out ways to read the scripts, doesnt mean you know anything about the oa, in fact, i really dont believe you know what its really about. why would you tarnish an organization that has been serving scouting for almost 100 years?
O/A is about Brotherhood and Service and unfortunately you thought O/A is about secrecy and mystery. My friend the words you reveal are just the tip of the iceberg. I WILL FAITHFULLY OBSERVE AND PRESERVE THE TRADITIONS OF THE ORDER OF THE ARROW.
yes there are no secrets in the order of the arrow, if someone wants to see a ceremony we can only ask them to leave, not force. however, if you know everything about the order of the arrow before being honored, where is the honor
@hotmustche no you can't say it out loud it has to be said as a whisper.
also this video should be taken down any Arrowmen who whould post any of the arrows secrets and risk ruining the sense of mystery should not be a scout nor an arrowmen he has Disgrace himself and his fellow scouts and his fellow Arrowmen.
order of the arrow is supposed to be the best that scouting has to offer, you sir, on the other hand are the WORST that scouting has to offer! you are an a DISGRACE!!! do you just want people to hate you??? ill bet you dont have any friends!!!
As much as I hate to say it, I dearly hope that you did not learn the watchwords the proper way. If you did and still decided to post this, you have no business bearing the triangle. Part of the reason boys pay so much attention to OA is because it is secret. Even if a lot of scouts know, and parents can easily find out, it's still a secret that they are in on. It makes them take to the message of service better.
Why would you do this!!!!!!! NOT EVERY SCOUT SHOULD KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN OA CEREMONIES IT IS AN HONOR NOT A PLAY FOR PEOPLE TO JUST WATCH!!! people know the secrets because they have earned the right!
Brotherhood Member Tom Kita Chara Logde 96 Samoset Council.
I am deeply dissapointed in a fellow brother that would reveal this information and spoil the experience for other fiture candidates. You should be ashamed of yourself and I would hope that you would remove this. You are not worthy of being in the brotherhood. If a parent is concerned, they can come to the scout leader for information.
not necisarily ( spell fail i know ) a oath of secrecy but i know your not supposed to say what happens at the ordeal, the phrases are and ect. they allow parents to go there yes and what paperwork hassle were you referring to? is it so hard to write your name and other information on a piece of paper? im reporting this vid somehow but you should not be in the OA if this is how you treat its trust. by the sounds of it your probably a still ordeal while im a brotherhood. and my lodge is vigils to
you have dishonored the order. you were elected because you were trusted, and worthy of responsibility. however, brother, you have failed us all. we are shrouded in mystery for a reason. parents have no restrictions, and need to fill out no paperwork to know what goes on. you do not deserve to be in OA, or boy scouts for that matter. keep in mind, as you proceed, that you have no honor, dignity, or pride to our society. you have failed us all.
Oh and by the way, there is an obligation to safeguard the information, but you don't have to recite it. It is supposed to be understood. Apparently you didn't understand.
The Order of the Arrow, recognizing the attractiveness of the unknown, utilizes the form of mystery. This shall not be interpreted, however, as justifying the withholding of any information regarding the Order from any person legitimately interested in investigation its nature, purpose, or method.
You are a disgrace to the Order. I am truly depressed that I have the dishonor of calling you my brother. I cannot believe your peers actually elected you for an honor society. You deserve no honor whatsoever. Scouts are trustworthy. You were trusted with this information and you have broken your word. You are a disgrace to scouting. This information is not secret, but it is meaningful, so thanks for ruining some kid's ordeal in the OA.
Woooooooo bro! you are not cool at all!!!!!! I'm an eagle scout, and an active adult leader. Listen when i was a Boy scout which was 2years ago you would have gotten your butt kicked! im serious. and maybe you should get your butt kicked now, idk. but you need to get yourself inline. NOT COOL!
This is absolutely unacceptable. this video needs to be removed. IMMEDIATELY. you dont deserve to be in the order. do you not feel the honor that was bestowed upon you when you were elected? how can you break such a bond? you deserve nothing less than removal from the OA. Unbelievable.
It is common knowledge among any of the OA members that there is a point to the secrecy. We do it because of tradition, and because it heightens the meaning of the being in the Order.
If parents really want to know what goes on...they can ask. I have personally explained to parents curious about what goes on...as well as explained the words used. We are NOT a cult...we are a service organization.
"Candidates receive less benefit if they know about the induction in advance. Most candidates feel anxiety about the unknown as they approach the ordeal. Knowledge lowers expectancy, dulls the edge of experience. In other words, you hurt the candidates when you tell them about the ordeal. They are better off knowing nothing until they receive the challenges from the age-old figures in the pre-ordeal ceremony."
HEY why would you dishonor the OA like that it is a trade secrets, listen if you are truly a scout remember the scout lay one of the laws is "loyal" you are being disloyal to the Order of the Arrow And i am about to go through my Ordeal myself and i am so exited about it and wounder what is going to happen and you ruin it, do u want to be remember as the one to give out our secrets to young members of the BSA who are exited about and cant wait now they have nothing to be exited for
As a brotherhood member of the OA, I do strongly feel this video should be taken down. The OA is not a 'secret' society as it is an 'honor' society and member work hard to get access to the coveted organization.
The admonition is something that is reverent and is never to be spoken aloud or published for public viewing.
This is in violation of the OA policies and you should remove the video out of consideration of your fellow members.
Show some respect to the order and your brothers and please take this down. Though we are not secret, the traditions that we hold dear to us are more meaningful when not posted to the world, if someone has questions ask a scout leader, Chapter Chief, Lodge Chief, Lodge Advisor, Scout Exc. anyboby.
YOU ARE A DISRESPECT TO THE ORDER OF THE ARROW. YOU SHOW NO INTEGRETY AT ALL FOR THE REASON FOR THE CEREMONIES. YOUTUBE TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN. WE ARE NOT SECERET BUT WE LIKE TO KEEP CEREMONIES ON THE DOWNLOW TO KEEP A BETTER ENVIORNMENT FOR THEM. IS THIS ANY WAY TO TREAT YOUR FELLOW BROTHERS. THIS IS BULLSHIT.
congratulations!!! now you have shared all of our sacred traditions with the whole world! this is truely dishonourable!!! if you had any sence of pride, honor, or respect, you would remove this video!!! any concerned parent only needs to speak to a leader in oa and he or she may address their concerns. if you were in my troop and were nominated for oa i would NOT vote for you!!!
The Order is not a secret society, we are a scouting organization that has secrets, if a parent has concern they may come and see the ceremony. We have no secrets o those who wish to know, but the unknown makes it more meaningful. Please out of respect for your fellow arrowmen and other scouts and scouters, please take down this video.
the only information in here that is really incriminating is the jumpstart password, and the vigil watchwords. The rest is common knowledge, or can be found on jumpstart.
@fermi911 These traditions/words/phrases have meaning to them, especially after going throuh the trial and tribulations you do in the order. There is a reason they were taken down on Wikipedia, you're whole "parent" premise isn't true otherwise you wouldn't of made the name as it is. You show no respect for the order or any of your brothers or any of the oaths you took.
@fermi911 read your handbook your not supposed to say any or post of the secrets of the order of the arrow it ruins the sense of mystery, you need to read your handbook read the prat tilde (Mystery and the Ordeal.) that's why wikipedia keeps taking it down
This video should be taken down. If the parent really wants to know what occurs in ceremonies, it serves them right to do the paper-work. And what would the excitement in OA be if everyone knew about the mysteries? And during my ordeal, i got more food than what is listed above. In my whole time in the OA I hanvt seen anything violating or harmful! I will stand to keep OA the way its supposed to be until the day I die.
@Cole2654 its just a way the bsa organization uses to keep loyalty and to keep the better educated from dropping out its nothing but a fraternity its redundant by say its a service oriented when the whole establishment is service oriented so there is no purpose for oa
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@hotmustche if you are not in the OA and want to know what goes on.
or if you are thinking about joining but want to know what you will have to do.
and yes you can say it aloud. of you do a search for order of the arrow jumpstart and enter the password "obligation" and look under the heading brotherhood then go to the subsection challanges, select option 1 memorize....
you can find a audio clip of the admonition. pronounced ah-hoe-ALTON [as in brown]
@joeagey Seriously man, the words are not that difficult to say. You CAN say the admonition out loud. What you MEANT to say is that someone says they don't WANT you to say them out loud.
The fact that you really have no idea that these ceremonies mean has ruined your progression in the OA. It is called symbolic progression for a reason. Having seen and preformed most of the ceremonies, I have a better understanding than what I would have from reading from a script. It isn't about ceremonies, dressing up in regalia, or having secrets. It's about servant leadership. Becoming a better person than you think you can be so you can help others. It's a thing of the spirit.
@fermi911 Once again I have seen them all and none are wierd, strange or anything else you want to say negatively.
All those things add to the expierience, you don't need a tree or presents, or lights or anything else for christmas those aren't the point, but they all represent something to the day and together make that day more meaningful.
@fermi911 I admit I am interested I was interested before I even joined but I actually told people like you who tried to tell me to "Shut up" I have enjoyed everyminute of it let me ask you this why do we wear boy Scout uniform, Why did we choose the name Eagle, Scout, why do we hold up 3 fingers in the scout sign because each has a meaning. you ask why are their "secrets" well one reason is because it makes people curious and if the only way to find out is to join then they will do just that.
@fermi911 one more thing you will never kill the Order your name will be lost in the pages of history but the order will flourish till the end of time of that I am certain. A scout is not someone who wears the uniform but someone who cherishes the ideals of Scouting and by trying to "kill" the OA scoutings Honor society you have exposed yourself as a hypocrate I have seen people join the Order and come back Kinder and more helpfull then before is that something you should "kill".
for all you know the order may be shutdown because of a sex scandel. you can not read the future.
i have seen people become kinder through religion, but i have also seen them kill 3000 people in the name of religion. just because it makes people better does not mean it is good>.
fermi911 I joined the Order about a year ago and do not remember any "weird" ceremonies and in fact I enjoyed it greatly and the week end I joined the Order has a very special meaning to me because I did NOT know about the events beforehand. Telling somebody before hand is like telling them about a surprise birthday party or what their christmas presents are ... it ruins it instead of opening your present and being surprised and wowed you now know what it is and its not the same.
@EnforcersShadow as you clearly said tyou have been a member for one year. so i must ask you:
1. are you a member of the brotherhood?
2. have you seen a vigil honor ceremony?
3. have you seen a broken arrow ceremony?
as you progress the cremonies get stranger and stranger. while i will admit that this may ruin the surprise for some it will let other see who strange the OA is. you may like surprises but i like to konw what i am going into, i HATE surprises.
@fermi911 What is surprising about a broken arrow ceremony ?
, and If you recall, the brotherhood ceremony is more or less explained prior to one going through it, and no candidate is required to continue the ceremony, they can withdraw at any time Yours in cheerful service, Rcortese211
@fermi911 I am a vigil member and have sen he ceremonies. And the fact is the ceremonies aren't stranger? I am confused where you go this notion but it is incorrect. I loved the ceremonies and the ment alot to my scouting career and life. The mystery behind them kept me working hard and pushing forward which made me a better scout and man, anyone seeing this video would lose the mystery and then lose interest.
@fermi911 And the Broken Arrow Ceremony is not wierd? It is used to remember and respect those brothers who dedicated themselves to the order and the fact you would call it "strange" I take great offense to having gone to these ceremonies to pay respects my brothers peple that i knew.
@TheRPGLPer i am not currently in the OA. but i know i will be tapped out at summer camp. and because of the weird ceremonies that i know know about i will decline to go through the ordeal. if the order has nothing to hide then this video is ok to post.
@fermi911 its not that we're trying to hide it, but it's just that if people know what's going to happen that ruins the whole purpose of it. The less they know before hand, the better. just please respect our wishes and take this down
@fermi911 Your attitude shows that you should NOT have been elected an Ordeal Candidate then "gotten" Ordeal. It's sad that you have No understanding what it means to be an Arrowman. I'm hoping you understand what it means to EARN Eagle rank not just "get" an Eagle.
There are no secrets in The Order of the Arrow or any part of Scouting. There are mysteries that should be preserved until the Scout or Scouter is ready for those mysteries to be shown to them.
to find it easily, the admonition, brotherhood signs and the watchwords are ment to sort out members from non members. I'm fine and dandy with showing the parents but it's inapropriate for a canadite to see it before their ordeal
@blaster401 because the order claims to have no secrets. thus why would you have a problem with this information? and why would you favorite this video if you don't like it?
Respectfully asking that you remove this video out of respect for those who created the order and those of us who are loyal to the trust bestowed upon us by our lodge.
remove please if you are really in OA and you care

You didn't have to take an oath to keep it secret. Its meant to be respectful and uphold the traditions of The Order of the Arrow. You are not telling younger scouts so that they can experience the Ordeal themselves, by keeping it secret you make it more enjoyable and more memorable for your fellow scouts that are not in the OA. I advise for you to take this video off. Just because you know something doesn't mean that you have to tell everyone.

this video is just cold. we arrowman work so hard to support scouting, and this video is a slap in the face to what we do. dispite what you might think, it is not an indain cult. if you were in the oa you would understand that. just because youve figured out ways to read the scripts, doesnt mean you know anything about the oa, in fact, i really dont believe you know what its really about. why would you tarnish an organization that has been serving scouting for almost 100 years?

As much as I hate to say it, I dearly hope that you did not learn the watchwords the proper way. If you did and still decided to post this, you have no business bearing the triangle. Part of the reason boys pay so much attention to OA is because it is secret. Even if a lot of scouts know, and parents can easily find out, it's still a secret that they are in on. It makes them take to the message of service better.

It is common knowledge among any of the OA members that there is a point to the secrecy. We do it because of tradition, and because it heightens the meaning of the being in the Order.
If parents really want to know what goes on...they can ask. I have personally explained to parents curious about what goes on...as well as explained the words used. We are NOT a cult...we are a service organization.

To quote the OA Handbook,
"Candidates receive less benefit if they know about the induction in advance. Most candidates feel anxiety about the unknown as they approach the ordeal. Knowledge lowers expectancy, dulls the edge of experience. In other words, you hurt the candidates when you tell them about the ordeal. They are better off knowing nothing until they receive the challenges from the age-old figures in the pre-ordeal ceremony."

As a brotherhood member of the OA, I do strongly feel this video should be taken down. The OA is not a 'secret' society as it is an 'honor' society and member work hard to get access to the coveted organization.
The admonition is something that is reverent and is never to be spoken aloud or published for public viewing.
This is in violation of the OA policies and you should remove the video out of consideration of your fellow members.

And what would the excitement in OA be if everyone knew about the mysteries? And during my ordeal, i got more food than what is listed above. In my whole time in the OA I hanvt seen anything violating or harmful! I will stand to keep OA the way its supposed to be until the day I die.

The fact that you really have no idea that these ceremonies mean has ruined your progression in the OA. It is called symbolic progression for a reason. Having seen and preformed most of the ceremonies, I have a better understanding than what I would have from reading from a script. It isn't about ceremonies, dressing up in regalia, or having secrets. It's about servant leadership. Becoming a better person than you think you can be so you can help others. It's a thing of the spirit.

Telling somebody before hand is like telling them about a surprise birthday party or what their christmas presents are ... it ruins it instead of opening your present and being surprised and wowed you now know what it is and its not the same.

as you progress the cremonies get stranger and stranger. while i will admit that this may ruin the surprise for some it will let other see who strange the OA is. you may like surprises but i like to konw what i am going into, i HATE surprises.
