The Elangomat Society
A Meeting Place for Elangomats
WARNING
IF YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER OF THE ORDER OF THE ARROW
If you are a Scout but not a member of the Order of the Arrow, we highly recommend that you do not proceed. Reading this material may make your own Ordeal less meaningful should you be selected for the OA in the future. The honorable Scoutlike thing to do is to exit this website.
If you have served as an Elangomat, you know what it cost you. The night alone. The work, silence, and scant food alongside your candidates. The moment you realized that going through the Ordeal again had changed you as much as them.
The Elangomat Society is a place where those experiences are honored, shared, and preserved. Here, Elangomats tell their stories and gather to discuss what matters to the Order of the Arrow.
Membership is free and open to anyone who has served as an Elangomat. On your Honor as a Scout.
