What are Chapter Meetings?
Once a month (usually on the 3rd Thursday) your local OA chapter will meet at a location generally accessible to all its members. These meetings are similar to troop meetings, often containing an engaging activity that can be fun and educational. Run by the Chapter Chief, this meeting is a place to discuss and prepare for the important functions chapters have throughout the year, such as conducting elections and training ceremony teams. Important announcements are made about OA events, which is why it is important for OA members from every troop in each chapter to attend meetings regularly.
Chapter meetings are fun ways to meet friends who are just as enthusiastic about Scouting as you are. Each meeting is an opportunity to learn something new, whether it be about the OA, Native American culture, or how to hunt with dogs. OA Representatives are expected to attend all chapter meetings and relay information attained back to their troop, while also communicating their troop's needs to their chapter leadership.
