To maintain your membership in the Order of The Arrow and Tecumseh Lodge you need to pay your dues each year. If you are not a dues paid member you lose the right to call yourself a member of the Order of the Arrow. If you are not a member of the OA you also lose the right to wear the Lodge Flap or other symbols or patches for the OA. You must be registered in a Simon Kenton Council Scouting unit to be a member of Tecumseh Lodge.

When Do I Need To Pay My Dues?

Our Lodge year is from January 1st to December 31^st, so your dues need to be paid at the beginning of each calendar year.

I’m a Newer Member – Weren’t my dues included in my Ordeal fee?

If you took your Ordeal during the current year, your Ordeal fees included your dues through the end of the calendar year in which you took your Ordeal. You would next need to pay your dues at the beginning of the next calendar year.

How Can I Pay My Dues?

You can pay your dues several ways:

By Mail – by using the dues form which can be found HERE

On Line – Click on this link to pay your dues online HERE

In Person – You can pay in person at any lodge event or at our lodge booth at the University of Scouting

I have not paid my dues for a long time, how can I become a member again?

If you have not paid dues for a while, it’s easier to join again than you think. Just fill out the form as completely as possible, pay $25.00 and we will re-instate you.

I want to transfer into Tecumseh Lodge from another Lodge

OA members transferring into Simon Kenton Council from another Council may do so by sending proof of current dues paid in the other Lodge and their Scout ID# to transfer into Tecumseh Lodge.

OA members transferring into Simon Kenton Council from another Council with their OA dues not being current may do so by sending proof of membership in the other Lodge and their Scout ID# to transfer into Tecumseh Lodge.

(Either of these can be done using any of the above mentioned methods)

Note: You can only be a member of the Lodge representing the Council where your primary Scouting membership is registered.
