NOTE: A COPY OF YOUR HEALTH FORM PARTS A&B ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND RING BLITZ!
Our annual Order of the Arrow Ring Blitz will be held May 6-8, 2022 at Camp Mitigwa! Please read the following information very carefully as this event looks different than in years past.
Ring Blitz is an event where the lodge gets together to help get our ceremony ring and supplies in shape for Spring Conclave and the summer, as well as provide an additional opportunity for 2021 elected candidates to complete their Ordeal. Beginning with Ring Blitz, the Ordeal at camp Mitigwa will look very different, please read the following carefully.
The event will begin Friday night with registration opening at 5:30pm. There will be no meal served, so please eat before you arrive. All members and candidates should plan to arrive before 6:30-7pm to make sure you get your campsite set up for the weekend.
Due to rising costs, the Ordeal fee is now $75. Current members can attend for $20. In addition, Mitigwa Lodge is going to a more traditional “sunset” ceremony for the Ordeal on Saturday night. This means the Ordeal ceremony will not be completed until after dark. For the safety of our members, we strongly recommend all attendees stay until Sunday morning so they are not on the road late into the night.
Please remember: The Ordeal ceremony itself at Ring Blitz is only for those candidates elected in 2020 or 2021. If you were elected in 2019 and did not complete your Ordeal, you must be re-elected by your troop for 2022. All candidates elected in 2022 will have their earliest opportunity to complete their Ordeal at the week their unit is at summer camp.
All current members can also attend Ring Blitz to help with projects around camp and attend the Ordeal ceremony.

We hope to see you there!
