Ceremony Training and Evaluation

top.jpg (16321 bytes)

One of the goals of the National Order of the Arrow Conference is to help lodge's improve their ceremonies.  This is done by holding ceremonies training and through ceremony evaluation.  This allows Arrowmen to learn good ceremony practices and to see how other lodges perform the ceremonies.

Training sessions were held that gave intensive attention to the whole induction process.  Training was also offered to help improve the Ordeal, Brotherhood, and Vigil Ceremonies

During the evaluation process, attention was paid to costuming, memorization, diction and movement.

In addition to the comments made by the evaluators, other teams and spectators were encouraged to provide helpful hints and suggestions.

Participants seemed to find both the training and evaluations to be very helpful.  One team said they could not wait to get home to try out what they had learned.
