Registration begins 90 days before the event starts.

Congratulations upon your election as a candidate for the Order of the Arrow. You can take great pride in being selected by your fellow Scouts, but realize that you are now only a candidate for membership. A greater thrill awaits you when you become a member of the Order and are decorated with the Order of the Arrow sash. This happens when you have successfully completed the Ordeal.

Where to go!

Your next opportunity to participate in the Ordeal will be 15-17 September 2023 at Camp Coker, 2056 Camp Coker Rd, Society Hill, SC 29593.

How to register!

To prepare for this event you should:

• Register to attend the Induction Weekend
• Pay the $55.00 ordeal fee online 
• Bring a copy of your current BSA Health and Medical Record to camp (parts A & B — NO doctor signature required). Download the BSA Health form HERE. Send questions to medical@muscogeelodge.org.
• Determine how you will get to and from camp. Plan to arrive at camp on Friday evening between 6:30 and 7:30 pm. Dinner is NOT provided Friday night, so eat before you arrive or bring a bag supper. 
• Plan for your travel home on Sunday morning after Chapel and Orientation around 10:30. 

What you’ll do!

We want you to have an exciting yet safe experience in your Ordeal. Its tests are physically challenging. You will leave the comforts of home behind you. You will walk a lot and exert yourself physically on a restricted diet. If you have a permanent physical or medical problem or dietary restrictions which could limit your participation, please notify the Ordeal Chairman at ordeal@muscogeelodge.org. We would like to make advance plans so that you can have the very best possible experience.

There will be a callout Friday night. All candidates who have been elected but have not yet been called-out will have the opportunity to be called out on Friday night.
