Order of the Arrow
Wahissa Lodge #118 of the Order of the Arrow plays an integral role in the operation of Camp Raven Knob.
A major highlight of each week at Raven Knob is the Wednesday night campfire and OA callout ceremony, hosted by Wahissa Lodge #118. In this ceremony, elected Scouts will be tapped as Ordeal candidates into the Order of the Arrow, Scouting's national honor society. Wednesday night is also visitors' night.
Each week, Wahissa Lodge invites youth members of any OA lodge to assist with the Wednesday night ceremony as torch bearers and canoe paddlers. Interested Scouts should listen to announcements in the dining hall about when/where to meet for more information and a practice schedule.
