Elangomat Training 2026

One of the most important pieces of our Ordeal weekends are the Elangomats. This is such a necessary role that has the potential to make or break the experience of the candidates.

The Elangomat Training is designed to prepare Arrowmen to serve as effective mentors and guides for new members during their Ordeal experience. As an Elangomat, you play a critical role in welcoming candidates, modeling cheerful service, and helping them understand the spirit and purpose of the Order of the Arrow. This training will provide you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to lead your clan.

If you are interested in serving at the Spring Fellowship event or one of our Ordeal weekends next year, and either have not been previously trained or would like to be eligible for Wolf Clan this year, please register to attend training.

We will be holding a Spring Elangomat training session on March 7th at Camp Rainey Mountain. The training session will begin at 10:00 am in the Mowogo shelter and end at 2:00 pm. There is no cost for the training and it will consist of a training portion followed by a service project.

Participants should bring a complete work uniform (Class B) appropriate for outdoor service projects. Please also bring a notebook, pen, water bottle, and any required health forms. Dress for the weather, as portions of the training may take place outdoors. Closed-toe shoes are required for all activities. Bring your own lunch, as we will not be providing food.

Registration will close at the end of day on Friday, March 6th. If no one has registered by that time, the event will be canceled and an email notification sent out announcing the cancellation.

Chapters have a requirement to have 2 trained Elangomats for every 10 candidates who attend an ordeal weekend. The more people you have trained, the easier you will be able to make this.
