Make sure you and your unit are current in your OA dues for 2023. Dues must be current before your unit’s OA election. You may pay at your election. Checks may be made payable to BSA Tonkawa 99. If you have any questions, please contact us.
OA Elections
If your unit has not yet held and election this year, please have your OA Unit Representative schedule an election with our election teams using the North Shore OA link on the website: https://sites.google.com/site/oatonkawanorthshore/electionceremony-request?authuser=0
To be eligible for OA, youth must be First Class (Scouts BSA) or Discovery (Venturing) or Ordinary (Sea Scouts) rank or higher, have at least 15 camping nights over the last 2 years with 5 nights from a long-term camp and 10 nights from weekend camping, and Unit Leader recommendation. During an election, adults may also be nominated if they meet the camping night requirement and the unit has elected youth members.
GroupMe
If you are not in our GroupMe for “North Shore OA chapter” you may be missing important updates from Christian, Grace, Jack, and Myles. To join, open GroupMe and search for “North Shore OA chapter”, then request permission to join the group. We will add you as soon as we are able.
Help Wanted
The Chapter is looking for a Vice Chief of Communications. The youth will be needed to post information to GroupMe, compose emails, and publish articles for the North Shore District newsletter. There is a possibility of updating and maintaining a webpage.
