(Get it, making waves in northern lakes? It’s a water joke)
By Sean S.
The OA and its ideals can be quite intimidating. How does one make a positive impact on the world through Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, Service, and Servant Leadership? Usually, it is through the simple medium of a good turn. Each positive influence you have will be very hard for you to see yourself, but know that it does exist. The strongest effect of your actions is simply reminding others of the natural goodness in us that should be shared with all. The more people that act in this way, the more good turns that will be performed, thus encouraging greater numbers still to love one another.

By simply being present in a community, or lake in the analogy of this article’s title, and bringing the virtues taught by Scouting and the Order into whatever you do there, you will inspire great waves of change.

Which brings us to the true moral of the story: Attend chapter meetings! Being present at these meetings is a great way to re-dedicate yourself to the high principles that will improve the world and to learn of opportunities to spread them through Service or Inductions. If the meetings aren’t fun, then take an active role, plan something fun, and get Arrowmen to show up, because everything becomes fun-er with more people!

If you’re in Ashuk T’Salil Chapter (Northern Trails district), join us next Thursday, January 12th at Bear Creek Methodist Church for making snowballs, food, games, info on service opportunities and events, carpool planning, and some training!
