The research used to design the article e. The materials used to make the article 5. Ceremony Team Evaluation The purpose of ceremonial evaluation is to improve ceremony standards in lodges by providing an opportunity for teams to view each other in action, allowing for a sharing of the performance techniques. Teams should be constantly motivated by the desire to improve. This is the time for the ceremony teams to have a learning experience, rather than competition. The ceremony teams do not and will not compete directly against each other, but rather against the National Standards. In Scouting, competition is used to encourage all team members and groups to work toward meeting a previously defined standard of excellence. No attempt is made to identify or reward any All Star Principal or the All Star team in the Section using the ceremony team evaluation information. The objective is to help each team learn better skills, and to provide a good critique with suggestions for improvement. If there are two excellent teams, both should receive excellent ratings. One team s rating does not affect any other team s rating, but each team will be rated only on its own performance. Page 15 of 44

16 Evaluation Guidelines Lodges with teams meeting and abiding by the following guidelines are eligible to be evaluated for their performance. At the discretion of the Indian Affairs and his adviser, teams that do not meet some minor requirement (s) may perform for training purposes, but are not eligible to receive Honor or Merit. They will receive a formal evaluation, and will receive an evaluation as if they followed all of the guidelines. 1. The lodge must have a current year's charter from the national office. 2. All team members must be from the lodge entering the team, with their current year's lodge dues paid, and be registered, active members of the Boy Scouts of America. 3. Each team participant must be younger than Lodges may submit more than one team for evaluation, including multiple teams performing the same ceremony (such as 2 or 3 different Pre-Ordeal teams). 5. Each ceremony team that performs must be an active team, performing real ceremonies within the lodge. ("All-star" or "contest only" teams are not allowed.) 6. Each participant in the ceremony evaluation must wear American Indian style dress. All characters should be of the same tribe, nation, or other historic group, to blend with each other. No face paint, body paint, endangered animal parts, or wigs will be permitted. Any display of disrespect, carelessness and/or gross inappropriateness for American Indian customs may be cause for disqualification of the team from performance. All proceedings must show a high degree of respect for all people. 7. Props, such as bows, arrows, rope, candles, sashes and all other items (if needed) must be provided by the lodge at the time of the performance. A team may provide whatever props they wish and may use any extra personnel they feel will enhance their performance, limited only by conformity with official ceremonial texts. 8. Teams are strongly encouraged to have at least two trained Arrowmen who will act as stand-in candidates, to provide a focus for the ceremony performance. 9. Parts must be fully memorized using the latest printing of the Order of the Arrow Ceremony Guide. One evaluator will be designated as the memory evaluator to check the team against the text as they perform. He will mark the text as to words missed or transposed. He will also note major errors in omissions, sentences, and challenges. This will free the other evaluators to concentrate on the performance. The evaluators will decide if they will count minor errors in addition to major errors. This decision will be necessary only if the team is on the borderline between two rating categories. This will be the only numerical count. The main evaluation will be the result of the evaluators watching the performance. 10. Each ceremony team performing must provide at least one evaluator to assist in observing and evaluating ceremonies, or to help in running the event. Evaluators will not evaluate teams from their own lodge. 11. The main role of the evaluator is to lead a discussion between team members from various lodges. Ceremony evaluation is a "peer judging" process in which the performers and other teams evaluate themselves and each other. The evaluator leads this discussion, keeps the group on track, helps the teams to reach a consensus about each team's quality, and makes sure all questions are asked and answered. Page 16 of 44

17 12. Each lodge is required to send their evaluators(s) to the scheduled evaluation premeeting. Check the schedule for the time and place of this meeting. Evaluators will bring back information to their lodges about the time and place of the lodge's performance. 13. Evaluation of teams will be based on the thirteen statements contained in the evaluation form at the end of this section. Performers are encouraged to participate in deciding whether each team met the criteria for each statement, and to make positive comments and suggestions to each other about how teams can improve their ceremonies. The evaluation team leaders will decide whether to employ all five team ratings as used at a national Order of the Arrow conference. It is all right if they drop one of the intermediate ratings. Only adequate knowledge of a section s ability to field lodge teams will determine this. 6. JUDGES Requirements to be a Judge: Each judge must be a member in good standing of the Order of the Arrow and a Lodge within Section W4S in addition to being a registered delegate at the Section Conclave, or an invited guest of the Native American Events CVC.

32 Conclave Spirit Award 1. The scoring committee shall consist of four guests not members of any Lodge in Section W4S as well as the section officers for that year. The outside section guests will submit a recommendation on which lodge won the spirit award, at which time the section officers shall make a final decision on the winners of the Spirit Award. 2. Consideration for the Spirit Award shall begin the moment the scoring committee member receives his/her scorecard. Scorecards must be signed and certified by 11:00 PM Saturday evening. The Section Chief, upon agreement with the Section Adviser, has the option of not revealing the members of the scoring committee until after the Conclave. 3. The spirit award shall measure the following: Negative spirit detracts from the effectiveness of Scout Spirit and thus will not be tolerated. Negative spirit is defined as any act or acts by any person or persons that is contrary to the ideals of the Brotherhood of Cheerful Service and more importantly, to the ideals of Scouting. The scoring committee member has the option of subtracting points or eliminating that Lodge from spirit consideration dependent upon the severity of the act. A "gig" used by a Lodge as a spirit item is defined as; any device, apparatus, or other item issued to all conclave participants in that Lodge for the purpose of promoting spirit at the conclave. Each Lodge is limited to one gig. The official gig must be from that year only; all other gigs from previous conclaves cannot be used unless a Lodge is officially reusing a gig for that conclave. Noisemakers are not permitted as spirit items with no exceptions. Any Lodge violating this will lose all points for their spirit item but will not be eliminated from competition. Each judge's scores will be weighted to make each judge's different scoring techniques balance. By this method, each lodge's score will actually be compiled by subtracting their score from the judge's average score. Page 32 of 44

34 The Niganet Award The Niganet Award will be based on each lodges overall performance at the 2011 Conclave. This year the section has opted not to include a score sheet due to the amount of events. The awards will be an enumeration of the total competitions for the weekend (excluding Spirit.) Emphasis will be placed on team-building activities, all competitions (Sports and Indian Affairs), and administrative events. Each event being scored will be assigned points based on the Lodge's performance in each area. 5 points for Superb 4 points for Excellent 3 points for Good The winner will be determined by adding the total number of points for each event being scored. The winner will be announced at the closing ceremony on Sunday. Traveling Ram Award The Traveling Ram award is rewarded to the lodge at the conclave with the highest attendance percentage. The results from this award will be derived from the total attendance from the lodge at the event divided by the membership total in their last charter as a lodge. This award will be given out at the closing ceremony on Sunday morning. Cimarron Award The Cimarron Award recognizes lodges that fully participate at the Section W4S Conclave. Unlike other traditional awards, any lodge can receive the award. The award provides a level playing field for all lodges, allow lodges large and small to participate, and for the chance for every Lodge to walk home with an award to be proud of should they choose. The lodge is required to fully participate in the competitions, events, and training. Page 34 of 44

35 Conclave Competitions The two competitions that will take place are Lodgeball, and Ultimate Frisbee. The rules for each are as follows: Lodgeball: The objective of the game is to eliminate all the members of the opposing team with a dodgeball. Players are eliminated when they are struck by a dodgeball thrown by an opposing team member. If the dodgeball contacts the floor its ability to eliminate a play is void. The game will be played on a field divided in half with dodgeballs placed on the center line. Members of the separate teams must stay on their side of the field, or they face elimination. Both teams must be at the very back of their side of the field before the game starts. The game will start when the official gives the cue, and both teams may then attempt to grab the Dodgeballs. A second cue will be given and the teams will be allowed to begin throwing dodgeballs at each other. The game ends when one side has eliminated all opposing players or when the clock reaches 20 minutes. The winning team is the team with the most players still in play. Ultimate Frisbee The Field: A rectangular shape with end zones at each end. A regulation field is 50 feet x 25 feet, with end zones 10 feet deep. Initiate Play: Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone line. The defense throws or pulls the disc to the offense. A regulation game has seven players per team. Scoring: Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense s end zone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score. Movement of the Disc: The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Players may not run with the disc. The person with the disc, the thrower, has ten seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding the thrower, the marker, counts out the stall count. Change of Posession: When a pass is not completed, the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense. Substitutions: Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout. Non-contact: No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made. Fouls: When a player initiates contact on another player a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone. Self-officiating: Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes. Spirit of the Game: Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play. Tie Games: If both teams have equal number of players in play (Lodgeball) or have the same number of points (Basketball) by the end of play then the winning team will be determined by a best 2 out of 3 game of Rock-Paper-Scissors played by the team captains. Page 35 of 44

36 A scout is Trustworthy: All participants and spectators are expected to observe the Scout Law before, during, and after the game. The Official Referee, who will make themselves known before the game, have final ruling on their sport. The Official Referee may also add or remove rules as they see fit in order to ensure the games begin and end on time. Page 36 of 44

37 Conclave Training In past years, the section has continuously attempted to produce and utilize a university style of instruction. To further develop our existing program, in conjunction with other sections, we have produced a training and registration program that itemizes every delegate s history within the section, which will remain on-file for all future conclaves. Conclave participants will receive an ID number, which will serve as their identification number for Conclave Offered courses at all section conclaves will be taught through the sections newly adopted university, Arrowman University. Within the university are six colleges one may chose to attend: College of Indian Affairs College of Leadership and Program College of Outdoor Adventure College of General Studies College for New Arrowmen College of Professors In previous years participants started earning associate s degree from a college of their choice. In future years, a participant can continue in the same college earning a bachelors degree or select another college to earn an associate s degree from. Once the participants complete the required courses, a degree will be printed in their name and a Arrowman University patch will be given to them, with a different color border for each degree. In 2010?, everyone received a redbordered patch, as an associate s degree. In 2011, qualifying members received a blue-bordered patch, as a bachelor s degree. In 2012, members who qualify will receive a green-bordered patch as a master s degree. Starting in 2012, Doctoral degrees will be conferred on those arrowmen who submit a class syllabus and they received a black bordered patch. The College of Professors is limited to those individuals training a session at the Conclave. Trainers may be anyone registered in the Order of the Arrow but must have the approval of the Section Chief and CVC of Training. Those selected to attend the College of Professors will receive a gold-bordered Arrowman University patch for their services. A list of all training sessions can be found here within or on the section website. Please note that individuals registering on-line have priority selection with course registration. Many of the courses being offered do have a maximum attendance for the class. In the event a session that you registered for is full, you will be placed in another class from your selected college. Your final course schedule will be printed for you upon check-in. Please note that in order to obtain a degree from your selected college of choice, you must attend a minimum of three classes from that college. You are more then welcome to change your classes at any time, if need be. If you have not selected three sessions from the same college, your degree will automatically be changed to the College of General Studies. If you have not specified any classes on your registration form, then you will be ineligible to obtain a degree from any of the colleges within Arrowman University. The training portion of conclave will take place Saturday morning. No other events and scheduled to take place during instruction. Page 37 of 44
