1.Memorize the signs of Arrow membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, the Order of the Arrow Official Song, the Admonition, the sign of Ordeal membership, and the Arrow handclasp.
2. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal. Gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you have passed. Serve your unit.
3. Retain your registration in scouting. During a period of at least 10 months, strive to fulfill your obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your own troop or team.
4. Plan for service in your lodge. Retain your registration in your Order of the Arrow lodge and keep your dues paid. Be aware that the acceptance of Brotherhood membership invovles a pledge of service to the lodge. Develop a concrete idea of how you plan to fulfill this pledge.
5. Review your progress. When you earnestly feel that you have met the four challenges above, write a letter to your lodge or chapter secretary. In this letter, explain what you think the Obligation means; describe how you have been fulfilling this Obligation in your troop or team and in your daily life; and how you have used this understanding of the Ordeal to aid in your service. Describe your specifice plans for giving service within the lodge program.
