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 Riverside United Methodist Church, 2701 Zollinger Road in Upper Arlington, 1/4 mile east of Riverside Drive. All members of the Order of the Arrow are welcome at these meetings.
Our Chapter operates a Native American dance team in conjunction with Venture Crew 214. We meet the third Wednesday of each month (September to May) from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Riverside United Methodist Church in the Undercroft. Anyone interested in joining the dance team is welcome to attend. No experience or even talent necessary.
Our Section Conclave will be held May 18-20 at the Muskingum Valley Scout Reservation. This years theme, "The Last Conclave...What Will You Leave Behind?", is a play on the 2012 end of the world predictions. Throughout the weekend, you will experience programming designed to encompass the theme. Innovative shows, dynamic training, American Indian Activities, Inductions & Ceremonial Events, and more a waits all. Check out the Conclave Website for Registration and Event Information.
We have a busy season ahead of us as we conduct Ordeal and Brotherhood ceremonies for newly elected Ordeal candidates and to seal memberships of current Ordeal members as Brotherhood members. Please check the schedule for the dates and locations of this years ceremonies and register to attend one or more as we need your support in the kitchen, as elongimats, or to join the ritual team. Also reach out to Ordeal members in your troop and have them attend to seal their membership in OA as a Brotherhood member. See the Tecumseh 65 Website for Registration information.
