The national Order of the Arrow chairman answers your questions on a regular basis. You may contact the chairman, Mike Hoffman, at @email.
Ask the Chairman - Concerns with Legacy Project Wood
Ray,
I have heard some people who have not seen the crate, nor read the instructions, are concerned about the transportation of invasive species. Bringing wood across state lines can be against the law in some states and is not encouraged at all in others.
Ask the Chairman - Is there a minimum age for election to the OA?
Ask the Chairman - How do the national officers fit all of their travels into their school schedules
Q: Ray,
In your role, you work closely with the national officers. How do you work with them to ensure they can fit their OA travel into their full time student schedules?
Ask the Chairman - April Fools
Q. I was talking with an Arrowman who had seen some seemingly real policy announcements posted on the Internet from the national Order of the Arrow committee. It turns out that they were intended to be April Fools jokes but were not clearly identified as such.
Ask the Chairman - Election of an ineligible Scout
Q. Ray,
What should happen if a Scoutmaster (either knowingly or unwittingly) certifies a Scout as eligible for election when he clearly is not eligible and that Scout is subsequently “called out?”
Thanks,
Randy
