INTRODUCTION

This Lodgebook is the culmination of the efforts of the Lodge Officers of Wachtschu Mawachpo – Lodge 559, Class of 2010 along with the many persons who helped our lodge by providing information, helped in the production of this Lodgebook.

This Lodgebook is developed in electronic format, to be available in CD’s and eventually in web-based downloads, to facilitate printing in 8 ½” by 11” page in loose leaf form. These formats were selected because it would allow for easy update and amendment of the Lodgebook without requiring the entire book to be reprinted each year. Each new Ordeal Member will be provided with a Lodgebook as a part of his ordeal fee and those already members of the Order of Arrow may obtain a copy at any authorized OA function or download a copy from designated council website(s).

As revisions are made to the book, they will be available though council website(s) or shall be mailed, without charge, to each member in good standing with the lodge, i.e., meaning that he has his dues paid up and is on the current mailing list of the lodge. If a member of the lodge has not paid his dues in the previous year, he may obtain the current revisions back to his last one by paying his current dues and one dollar for the previous revisions.

The lodge executive committee encourages you encourages you to read your Lodgebook, insert the revision pages as they are delivered to you. We especially hope that you will look at the calendar of events and attend as many as you are able. We hope that you will find many uses for this book and will bring it to each lodge and chapter meeting.

We also encourage you to let us know of any mistakes, omissions, or erroneous material that this Lodgebook will be of use and importance to you in your work with your chapter and your lodge and hope to see it in your possession at all lodge and chapter functions.

Your brothers in the Order of the Arrow, The Executive Committee – Lodge 559

WESTARK AREA COUNCILWESTARK AREA COUNCILWESTARK AREA COUNCILWESTARK AREA COUNCIL HISTORY HISTORY HISTORY HISTORY

The Council (Westark Area Council) was originally organized July 1920. The territory at that time included only the city of Fort Smith and the name of council was “Fort Smith Council”.

Early in 1922, the Council territory was extended to include the city of Van Buren. The Council then became known as the “Fort Smith – Van Buren Council”.

The territory remained unchanged for 5 years until the Council re– registered in January 1927. At that time, the Council was extended to include all of Crawford and Sebastian Counties, together with that portion of Franklin County south of the Arkansas River. The Council’s name remained unchanged.

In December 1928, the Council took over 13 additional counties which included the Counties of Polk, Pope, and Scott and the 10 counties which had previously constituted the “Ozark Council” in the northwest part of the state of Arkansas. (The counties were as follows: Benton, Washington, Carroll, Boone, Madison, Newton, Franklin [north half], Johnson, Logan, and Yell).

The Council was re– registered in 1929 under the name of the “Northwest Arkansas Council”. This was changed at re– registration time in 1930 to the “Fort Smith Area Council”. Since the time of the Council’s re– registration in 1937, the Council has been known as the “Westark Area Council”; but, on June 23, 1947, the Council was incorporated in the State of Arkansas and from that date to present has been known as the “Westark Area Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America”.

In January 1955 Mena and Polk Counties were transferred to the Caddo Council in Texarkana, Arkansas.

Pope County, which formerly had been in this council transferred to the Quapaw Area Council in 1953 then came back and became a part of the Westark Area Council in January 1957.

Fulton County transferred to Eastern Arkansas Area Council on August 1, 1965. This transfer included on pack, one troop, and 34 boys.

The Westark Area Council today consists of the following counties: Crawford, Sebastian, Scott, Benton, Madison, Washington, Franklin, Logan, Johnson, Pope, Yell, Baxter, Boone, Carroll, Izard, Marion, Newton, and Searcy.

A campaign for the building of a new Boy Scout camp was conducted in 1953– 54. Lad for the camp was purchased and developed and Camp Orr has been in use since 1955.

The Scout Service Center, 1401 Old Greenwood Road (formerly known as 1401 South 31st Street, was built in 1963.

The State Legislature passed a Bill on March 1973, permitting the Westark Area Council to purchase 2,842 acres of Booneville Sanatorium land for future camp development. The drive to develop this land was begun in the fall of 1975 and completed in May 1976. Construction of the camp, now known as Rogers Scout Reservation, started in the spring of 1976.

LODGE HISTORYLODGE HISTORYLODGE HISTORYLODGE HISTORY

As compiled by former Lodge Chief Brian Morgan

Wachtschu Mawachpo Lodge 559, Lodge of the Mountain Treasure, began in 1963. The first Lodge Chapters were Butterfield, Northwest, Ozark, and Magazine Mountain. The first Lodge Chief was Don Ford of Fayetteville. The first Lay Advisor was Harry Martens, and the Professional Advisor was Bill Baird, both of Harrison. The chapters at this time were large for a young lodge. Butterfield Trail had 20 members with Barry Coplin of Fort Smith as Chapter Chief. Northwest had 36 members with Dick Ford as Chapter Chief. Ozark had 25 members and Marshall Smith was serving as Chapter Chief. And Magazine Mountain had 23 members with Don King serving as its Chapter Chief. The first Ordeal was large for a young lodge. One hundred twenty– two new members were inducted. Magazine Mountain had 32 candidates, Northwest had 39, Ozark 33, and Butterfield Trail had 28. The Northwest Chapter changed its name to Uark, and then at a later date, changed it again to Razorback as it is presently known. The Lodge has progressed greatly through the years, and hopefully will continue to do so in the future.

THE VIGIL HONORTHE VIGIL HONORTHE VIGIL HONORTHE VIGIL HONOR

Eligibility for the Vigil Honor shall be in accordance with the Order of the Arrow Handbook and the Guide to Officers and Advisers.

Candidates for the Vigil Honor shall be selected by the Vigil Nominating Committee which shall be composed of no less than five and nor more than ten youth Lodge members younger than 21 years of age and the committee chairman, who shall have no vote. Effort shall be made to have at least one representative from each chapter but no more than three shall be permitted from any one chapter. Arrowmen selected for service on this committee should have a good knowledge of those eligible for the Vigil Honor, they should be active at the Lodge level, and be a member in good standing of the Lodge. The chairman and committee members are usually Vigil Honor members; however, any youth member of the lodge may serve on the committee, provided that he is not eligible to receive the Vigil Honor. Inasmuch as the Vigil Honor does not connote a separate membership or grouping, it is inappropriate for the nominating committee to be “a committee of the whole” involving all or substantially all Vigil Honor members of the lodge. Nor is the Vigil Honor nomination process to be one in which the Vigil Honor members of the lodge, as a group, determine who is sele cted.

The Vigil Nominating Committee members and chairman will be appointed by the Lodge Chief after consultation with the Lodge Advisor. The chairman and members must be approved by the Lodge Adviser and the Scout Executive. The terms of office for the chairman and the committee members shall be one year and begin and end with each Lodge year.

The Lodge Chief shall be responsible for making prior arrangements for an adequate meeting place for the committee. The Lodge Secretary shall be responsible for the Lodge Chief for providing the Committee with all necessary materials. The Vigil Nominating Committee shall meet in closed door sessions as required to do its work.

1. Meet the requirements as outlined in the Order of the Arrow Handbook and be “active” in the Lodge.

2. The term “active” shall be defined as follows: the candidate should have attended at least five of the following events in each of the previous two years – a) Lodge Ordeal, b) Lodge Fellowship, c) Section Conclave, d) Workday Brotherhood Ceremony, e) Lodge Banquet and Business Meeting, f) 75% of all Chapter’s events, or g) served as a Lodge or Section Officer.

3. Adults will be considered for the Vigil Honor only if the quota of Vigil nominations has not been met after all youth Brotherhood members have been reviewed, nominated, and voted on.

4. Show true dedication, interest, and deep concern in the Lodge through consistent participation in the Lodge.

5. The Vigil Honor is a high mark of distinction and recognition reserved for those Arrowmen who, by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest, have made distinguished contributions beyond the immediate responsibilities of their position or office to one or more of the following: Their Lodge, the Order of the Arrow, Scouting, or their Scout camp. Under no circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered a reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation.

PROCEDURES FOR NOMINPROCEDURES FOR NOMINPROCEDURES FOR NOMINPROCEDURES FOR NOMINATION OF NEW VIGIL CATION OF NEW VIGIL CATION OF NEW VIGIL CATION OF NEW VIGIL CANDIDATESANDIDATESANDIDATESANDIDATES

Before Vigil nominations, the chairman will read the rules and make sure all members of the committee understand them.

Two elections will be held, both in the same manner. First, all the members younger than age 21 who have been Brotherhood member for two years or more will be considered. Next, all the adults will be considered.

All eligible names are put in front of the committee (i.e. chalkboard).

One by one, without discussion, the names are considered for nomination. If no one person wishes to nominate a name, that name is taken from the list. Note: It only take one member of the Committee to keep a name on the list.

When the list is narrowed, discussion is carried out for each name. After the discussion, a vote is taken. A vote of two-thirds majority by the nominating committee is required for nomination. If, after the first voting, the list of those nominated exceeds the Vigil quota, another discussion and vote should be taken to narrow the list. If the list is less than the quota, THEN AND ONLY then should adults be considered. Note: A member of the committee is limited only by his own discretion as to how many votes he casts.

If, after all the voting, a simple majority of the committee members think that there is a major problem with the list, (example: If, after one election, there is a need to reconsider one of the names nominated or not nominated, this may be done.) the procedure can be redone at any during this election process. This may be done because the Vigil Honor is not to be taken lightly and every precaution should be taken to insure the worthiness of those nominated.

Voting by this method minimizes competition. Committee members only must decide whether or not they will vote for a person, not for whom they will cast a specific number of votes. This also allows the number of the quota to be kept secret until after the voting.

Lastly, if the list exceeds the quota, then and only then may one Arrowman be compared to another as to worthiness. It would be better, however, for the committee members to review the discretion they used in voting.

FOUNDERS’ AWARDFOUNDERS’ AWARDFOUNDERS’ AWARDFOUNDERS’ AWARD

“The spirit, as I understand it, is the real self of the individual helping himself to understand the world he lives in; helping to do what he thinks he ought to do in the future before him. It is a thing that is hard to set forth in so many words, but it is facing life as we understand it and that sometimes takes more than just pride and smartness of thinking, but it requires divine guidance and help to do our best; and that is what I pray for in the years that are ahead for the Arrowmen as they face the future…feeling that God will help them to do that which our Country needs and do it with devotion in the brotherhood of cheerful service.”

Dr. E. Urner Goodman – 1976

The founders’ award consists of a 2½” bronze medallion standing on a walnut base. A brass plate is engraved with the recipient’s name and attached to the walnut base. A certificate which is suitable for framing is also provided.

Lodge 559559559559 may petition the National Order of the Arrow Committee to present two awards each year. These awards may be presented to any qualified Brotherhood or Vigil Honor member. If the Lodge petitions for two awards, one must be presented to a youth member under 21 years of age. All petitions must be made on Founders’ Award Petition number 21-137 which may be obtained from the National Executive Secretary. Petitions must be submitted at least six weeks prior to the date of presentation.

This award is the highest honor which may be given at lodge level and is a nationally recognized award in the order of the Arrow. It should be given only to those whose service to our lodge has been well above and beyond the normal level of service expected of an Arrowman from our lodge. Nominations for this award may be made by the Executive committee, Lodge Advisor, Chapter Lay Advisors, or Lodge professional Advisor. This award does not need to be given if there is no one eligible or worthy in any particular year.
