Tendeuchen Chapter

Welcome to the Tendeuchen Chapter website. The Tendeuchen Chapter (pronounced ten-DOY-chen) is made up of all the Arrowmen who are registered in the Buckeye District, Simon Kenton Council.

Our activities include participation in Lodge functions, such as the Ordeal induction weekends, fellowships, and training, as well as special Chapter activities. We have performed a number of service projects in the past, especially at Camp Lazarus, and we have an active Native American dance team and Venture Crew who make appearances at Eagle Courts of Honor, Blue and Gold Banquets, and the Maple Sugar Festival. Every year we also have a Chapter Fellowship in March at Camp Lazarus as part of the Maple Sugar Festival.

The Tendeuchen Chapter meets the first Wednesday of each month from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 2001 Northwest Blvd in Upper Arlington, at the corner of Northwest Blvd and Westwood Ave. All members of the Order of the Arrow are welcome at these meetings.

Third Annual Pumpkin Smash is Here!

Our October chapter meeting will be the Third Annual Pumpkin Smash. It will be on Wednesday, October 7, at the Frye's house, 8411 Roberts Road in Hilliard. We will meet from about 6:30 pm until we decide to leave (probably about 9:00). As in the past, this will be an exciting event with food, mayhem, and pumpkin guts. Past events have included pumpkin smashing, pumpkin flinging, pumpkin archery, pumpkin axe throwing, pumpkin football/rugby, pumpkin dodgeball, pumpkin baseball, and more. What this year will hold no one knows, but you can be sure it will include destruction, devastation, decimation, and other various ghastly methods of separating pumpkins from their guts. This year will also see the return of the Flaming Pumpkin, which will be even bigger and flamier than last year (flamier is too a real word, look it up). Food will be provided. Please bring your own folding chair and all the pumpkins you can carry (or more). NO UNIFORMS, NO SASHES - dress to get messy!

Pictures from last year's Pumpkin Smash are now online (and only 11 1/2 months late, too).
