Scouts are elected to the
Order by their fellow unit members, following approval by the
Scoutmaster or Varsity team Coach. To become a member, a youth must be a
registered member of a Boy Scout troop or Varsity Scout team and hold
First Class rank. The youth must have experienced fifteen days and
nights of Boy Scout camping during the two-year period prior to the
election. The fifteen days and nights must include one, but no more than
one, long-term camp consisting of six consecutive days and five nights
of resident camping, approved and under the auspices and standards of
the Boy Scouts of America. The balance of the camping must be overnight,
weekend, or other short-term camps.
Adult selection is based on their ability to perform the necessary
functions to help the Order fulfill its purpose, and is not for
recognition. Selected adult Scouters must be an asset to the Order
because of demonstrated abilities, and provide a positive role model for
the youth members of the lodge.
