Brothers,

Unit Elections will begin next week and continue through March, make sure your Scoutmaster sets up your election date and time... Also, there is some confusion as to who can vote in the election. The following is text from the Unit Election Procedures:

Election Procedures

To become a member of the Order of the Arrow
a Boy Scout or Varsity Scout is chosen by a vote of
the youths in his unit. This is a unique feature of
the Order since the majority of those who select
their candidates for this honor are not members of
the lodge. However, lodge members in the unit
have a vote as well as nonmembers. In this way
membership is controlled by the youths in their own
units and not by those who are already Arrowmen.
It is important that the members of the unit have
the membership requirements properly explained to
them.

Registered active member

In Boy Scout troops and Varsity Scout teams, every registered active member of the unit under age 21 at the time of election is eligible to vote.
