As you know, we have changed how we handle Order of the Arrow Callouts in Kodiak Chapter (Gateway District). I apologize that we were not able to have all the callout details ready for you at your election.

Please note that the Callout is for youth candidates only. Adult recommendations are being reviewed by the Lodge Adult Selection Committee and the Scout Executive. Selected adults will be notified by letter by April 15th. Additional pieces of information:
