Ceremony Evaluations
The goal of 2015 National Order of the Arrow Conference ceremony evaluations is to improve ceremonial performances and to maximize the quality of the induction experience for the candidate. Since the purpose of these evaluations is purely educational, there is no need for teams to be highly experienced to participate. Inexperienced teams should be able to improve significantly from participating in the evaluations. More experienced teams will benefit as well by observing some of the best teams in the country and receiving suggestions from the highly qualified evaluations staff. Evaluations will be done for Pre-Ordeal, Brotherhood and Vigil ceremony teams.
Please note that ceremony evaluations are separate from the competition portion. A team does not have to enter the competition in order to participate in the evaluations. For rules and regulations for competitions, please refer to the competition guidelines.
Evaluations and Competitions
The Inductions and Ceremonial Events committee at NOAC will be providing opportunities for individual and lodges to participate in ceremony evaluations and competitions. View the guidelines listed below.
