Your input is requested!
To better serve those in our Lodge, we’d appreciate hearing from all Tetonwana Lodge Arrowmen about your level of understanding of the various areas of the Order of the Arrow. This information will help us determine what training is needed, and also give us an idea of the topics or areas of interest our members would like to see offered at the annual Lodge Leadership Development (LLD) and other training sessions offered throughout the year. This information also helps identify those who are best qualified to help train others. Please fill out a “General Membership Questionnaire” form and bring it to the next lodge function.

How can I be of service to my fellow Arrowmen and the Lodge?
There are a number of ways Arrowmen can serve their Lodge and fellow Arrowmen. These include serving on the Tetonwana Lodge Ceremonies Team, serving as an Elangomat or Nimat, or serving as an OA Troop Representative.
