1 0 0 % Brotherhood Conversion Aw ard Brotherhood is one of the core principles of the OA. It is a solemn and fun experience to seal your membership in the order. We encourage all members to walk their trail whenever they can. • All dues-paid members that are eligible for Brotherhood in your unit must become Brotherhood by the end of Fall Fellowship. • If you believe you have completed it, your OA Troop Representative will print the award form off of lodge104.net and fill it out. • At Winter Banquet, he will then bring the form and one check made out to Occoneechee Lodge. The amount of the check should be the total of $2 for each Brotherhood (and Vigil) member who wishes to buy a patch. • The Brotherhood Chair will then verify it and if correct, the trading post will give them an award flap for every Brotherhood and Vigil member in your unit who paid for one If you are an Ordeal member, go through your Brotherhood Trail at Fall Fellowship and if you are a Brotherhood member stay active and encourage others in your unit to complete their Brotherhood!
