Arrowman Recognition
      Have a problem with keeping people interested in the Order? Do you feel that some Arrowmen get discouraged from participating because they do not receive recognition for their hard work? In this training cell, you will learn how to effectively implement worthwhile recognition programs that not only recognize the efforts of your most devoted Brothers, but will also improve participation rates by showing how you can use recognition programs to retain Arrowmen.

Ceremonial Team Development
      Many Lodges have a problem with recruiting new Ceremonialists or leading them on the way to becoming individuals who can effectively provide an awe-inspiring experience. Learn from others and come to speak about how you can recruit new members and develop them to become effective.

Ceremonial Team Site Preparation
      Although the actual presentation of the ceremony by the ceremonialists in the most important aspect of the ceremony, the way the ceremonial team site is prepared and presented also is extremely important to giving the candidates an amazing experience. Learn from past ceremonialists and ceremonial team advisors on how they have enhanced sites and made areas more conducive to a positive ceremonial experience.

Chapter Administration
      Are you a newly elected chapter officer, or are you thinking about running for a chapter officer? Then sit in on this training cell and learn the basics to running a successful chapter. Share ideas with other officers and prepare yourself for success.

Characterization
      Aimed at beginner and intermediate ceremonialists, this training cell will help the individual better portray each principle in a ceremony. Suggestions will be given on: character motivation, vocalization, presence on the site, and the hierarchy of the four principles. Emphasis will be on interpretation of characters and performing as a team rather than four separate principles.

Extended Elangomat Program
      Although the Elangomat is the first person that Candidates meet when they begin their Ordeal, most Lodges do not know how to effectively train their Elangomats and give them the proper information to be effective. Most Lodges and Chapters just throw whoever they can find to be Elangomats. This training cell will teach you how to make the most of your Elangomat, and it will also show you how you can get Elangomats to carry on their job beyond the Ordeal all the way until the Candidates receive Brotherhood and beyond. Imagine what your Lodge would be like if you implemented such a program? This training cell will give you the resources to do so.

Finger weaving
      Finger weaving is used to make ceremonial arm ties, leg ties, and sashes (belts). As the name implies, it is the process of weaving yarn using only your fingers rather than with a loom. This session will be a demonstration with optional participation of the audience. Kits of materials and directions will be on sale for less than $5 and will be the best way to learn the process because the demonstration is straight from the kit.

Selling the Service Project
