As part of the Order of the Arrow's rollout of the new Induction process, all lodges are required to document key components and milestones of the process, as outlined below, in OA LodgeMaster (OALM). The information at each step that will be required is:

• Step 1 - See One: See On requires the lodges core team of induction facilitators (ceremonialist, luminaries, advisors/relevant support staff) to first go through the new induction. Documentation for Step 1: See One requires:
  • The name of the individual.
  • The role they are aligned to play (ceremonials, luminary, or relevant adviser / support staff).
  • The Induction Experience (National, Section, or Lodge) they attended. 
• Step 2 - Do One: Do one requires the lodge facilitate an induction experience, using their core team trained in Step 1, for existing members of the Order of the Arrow. In most cases, this is their own lodge through a Lodge Induction Experience (LIE). Select Exemplar Lodges will complete their step two requirements by facilitating a Section Induction Experience (SIE).
  
  • This step is logged using the Events tool in OALM.
• Step 3 - Offer One: The final step of the process is to then offer the first new induction for new members of the order of the arrow. This would be the first batch of newly elected members who experience the induction to accept membership into the Order of the Arrow rather than the Ordeal weekend currently in place. 
  • This step is completed using the Events tool in OALM. 

Below is a detailed walk through of the technology enhancements available in OALM as of April 1, 2026 to support the Induction Rollout process.
