CEREMONIAL TEAM TOTEM AWARD ORDER FORM
CEREMONIAL TEAM TOTEM ORDERING NOTES:

The Basic Totem Kit can only be ordered by OA members after completion or support of one ceremony.
o Extra Kit items can be ordered when rank or status achieved.
o All Kit items should only be ordered once (although a scout becoming an advisor could order a second kit to have separate
ceremonialist and advisor totems, their choice).
o A scout or scouter can earn beads prior to becoming an OA member, but they can’t be awarded until they complete their
Ordeal membership – e.g., scouts can participate in a crossover ceremony while not an OA member.
o The totem and beads are earned while (or after) earning the Neckerchief and/or Neckerchief Slide Award – i.e., they are
earned concurrently (until you have earned both the neckerchief and slide).
o Like the Indians, the beads tell the “story” of your history as a ceremonialist and your story will be unique. The more you
participate, the longer your individual story becomes. You may wear your totem as part of your regalia and at any event were
you are allowed to wear the OA sash.

One Support Bead is earned for every ceremony where that support is provided by a person not in a principal role. A person can
earn a support bead and participate as a principal for the same ceremony.

The principal roles for the Arrow of Light and Crossover ceremonies are Chief, Brave and Ceremonial Advisor.

The principal roles for the Call-Out ceremony are Legend, Singer, Echo and OA Coordinator.

The principal roles for the Pre-Ordeal, Ordeal, Brotherhood and Vigil Ceremonies are Allowat Sakima, Meteu, Nutiket, Kitchkinet
and Ceremonial Advisor.

The principal roles for the Four Winds ceremony are Allowat Sakima, Kitchkinet, North Wind, East Wind, South Wind, West Wind
and Ceremonial Advisor.

The Arrow of Light and Crossover ceremony beads are earned (separately) in pairs:
o One ½” Hairpipe Bead and the one ceremony bead are earned for the first ceremony performed.
o One ½” Hairpipe Bead and the three ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of three ceremonies.
o One ½” Hairpipe Bead and the five ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of five ceremonies.
o One ½” Hairpipe Bead and the “five” ceremonies bead are earned for every two ceremonies thereafter.

The Call-Out ceremony beads are earned in pairs:
o One Catseye Bead and the one ceremony bead are earned for the first ceremony performed.
o One Catseye Bead and the three ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of three ceremonies.
o One Catseye Bead and the five ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of five ceremonies.
o One Catseye Bead and the “five” ceremonies bead are earned for every two ceremonies thereafter.
o The Catseye Beads are three different colors which signify which principal part was performed [Blue – Legend, White – Singer
and Green – Echo], so a ceremonialist can earn different color beads by performing different parts.

The Pre-Ordeal ceremony beads are earned in pairs:
o One Small Chevron Bead and the one ceremony bead are earned for the first ceremony performed.
o One Small Chevron Bead and the three ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of three ceremonies.
o One Small Chevron Bead and the five ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of five ceremonies.
o One Small Chevron Bead and the “five” ceremonies bead are earned for every two ceremonies thereafter.
o The Small Chevron Beads are four different colors which signify which principal part was performed [Red – Allowat Sakima,
Black – Meteu, Blue – Nutekit, and Green – Kitchkinet], so a ceremonialist can earn different color beads by performing
different parts.

The Ordeal ceremony beads are earned in pairs:
o One Large Chevron Bead and the one ceremony bead are earned for the first ceremony performed.
o One Large Chevron Bead and the three ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of three ceremonies.
o One Large Chevron Bead and the five ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of five ceremonies.
o One Large Chevron Bead and the “five” ceremonies bead are earned for every two ceremonies thereafter.
o The Large Chevron Beads are four different colors which signify which principal part was performed [Red – Allowat Sakima,
Black – Meteu, Blue – Nutekit, and Green – Kitchkinet], so a ceremonialist can earn different color beads by performing
different parts.

The Brotherhood ceremony beads are earned in pairs:
o One Feather Bead and the one ceremony bead are earned for the first ceremony performed.
o One Feather Bead and the three ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of three ceremonies.
o One Feather Bead and the five ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of five ceremonies.
o One Feather Bead and the “five” ceremonies bead are earned for every two ceremonies thereafter.
o The Feather beads are four different colors which signify which principal part was performed [Red – Allowat Sakima, Black –
Meteu, Blue – Nutekit, and Green – Kitchkinet], so a ceremonialist can earn different color beads by performing different parts.
The black bead (for Meteu) is a Ghost Bead.

o One Lewis & Clark Bead and the three ceremonies bead are earned after performing a total of three ceremonies.

The “Performance” Beads are earned for every Call-Out, Pre-Ordeal, Ordeal, Brotherhood or Vigil ceremony performed and are

o Assistant Advisors / Assistant Coordinators can also earn beads for every ceremony where they substantially contributed to
preparations for that ceremony.

option of the Advisor.
o It is suggested that Coordinators select the white color for the Call-Out ceremony, but color is at the option of the Coordinator.
o Advisors / Coordinators should consult the Chapter Second Vice Chief for any interpretation or exceptions to these rules.
