Once again, I am humbled to be 1 of 2 adults, and 6 chosen youth members from Kawida Lodge to attend the PRISM event at the Summit Bechtel Reserve. There was a lottery, and 2 of our youth won the chance to attend also. Talk about lucky! So now I shall gas up the van and the 10 of us will make the trip to beautiful West Virginia to have a day of fun, a day of service, and be a part of history.
"The defining experience of Prism will be the inaugural re-dedication ceremony at the newly constructed Summit Circle. The ceremony will provide you with a glimpse of what the future holds for the O.A. and how you can impact the direction it takes. As you ponder your role, you will be surrounded by remnants of Treasure Island Scout Reservation’s original ceremony circle where Dr. Goodman once stood, as well as a commemoration of our legacy lodge rocks, granting you a chance to reflect on our past. As a Prism participant, you will be one of the first Arrowmen to experience the new national ceremonial grounds and serve as a guide into a new century of brotherhood, cheerfulness and service."
"Prepare yourself for a program that will give you a new perspective on the O.A. Just as light passes through a prism and transforms into a full spectrum of light, you too will transform and experience the full spectrum of the Order of the Arrow at Prism."
