Dear Ordeal Candidate,
Welcome to Itibapishe Iti Hollo! We serve the Central North Carolina counties. Your peers chose you to be a part of the Scouting's National Honor Society because they see the growth and potential you bring to your troop and believe that you can do the same for 188.

Itibapishe Iti Hollo Lodge offers each candidate Three opportunities to take the Ordeal. A candidate has 18 months after the election to take the ordeal; if extenuating circumstances exist, the Lodge Chief or his designee can make special arrangements. Every candidate is inducted into the Order of the Arrow by participating in an Ordeal and its ceremonies. They are conducted in a serious and dignified manner, true to the Scouting tradition. This sequence of events has a deep meaning, and the induction is in no way treated as hazing or initiation. The Order of the Arrow is not a secret Scout organization, and its ceremonies are open to any parent, Scout leader, or religious leader. There is an element of mystery in the ceremonies for the sake of its effect on the candidates, and thus the ceremonies are not performed in public.
