OA Transition Team Update

DATE: January 8, 2013

Our Order of the Arrow transition team is excited to announce the new identity of the Greater New York Councils Order of the Arrow Lodge.

Lodge Name

After considering the results of the online opinion poll conducted in December 2012, the members of the transition team voted to name the Greater New York Councils Order of the Arrow Lodge, Kintecoying Lodge #4 on January 6, 2013.  Kintecoying is translated as “Crossroads of Nations”.

SUBJECT: Structure of the Order of the Arrow in the Greater New York Councils
DATE: August 30, 2012

After careful consideration over the course of many months, I have decided that combining the councils’ five Order of the Arrow lodges into a single lodge will allow the OA to better fulfill the Mission of the Lodge and the Purpose of the Order of the Arrow. The change will also result in a stronger program for the youth in GNYC and in closer alignment between the activities of the OA and the councils’ strategic priorities as set forth in the recently adopted Strategic Plan. Ultimately, I envision a combined lodge that rivals the best in the country and attracts the top leadership, both youth and adult, that the BSA has to offer.
