Conducting the Brotherhood Ceremony

Conducting the Brotherhood Ceremony: Notes for Ceremonial Principals and Advisers provides insight into key areas of the new ceremony. Interested Arrowmen and ceremonialists are encouraged to review the document for hints on symbolism, suggestions from the principals, and other useful commentary.

Deep Dive into the Brotherhood Ceremony

A very detailed Powerpoint presentation that explores best practice, symbolism, and much more for the Ceremony for the Brotherhood. There are embedded videos in the presentation, so the file is quite large (1.98 GB); please be prepared for a long download period.

Team Interviews

The following video is a brief excerpt from the informal interviews conducted with the Exemplar team at the 2018 NOAC. It is both informative and inspirational, covering a range of questions of interest to Arrowmen of all stripes. Perhaps most importantly, they provide a glimpse into the deep friendships and personal fulfillment that comes from being a dedicated ceremonialist in the Order of the Arrow.
