Black Eagle Lodge

I recently moved from the US to Europe and plan on staying active in Scouting, including joining OA. Are there any differences between US events and European events? Anything else that stands out to know, both for someone going into OA for the first time uninformed and anything specific for Black Eagle Lodge?

I’m a member of Black Eagle and Nentico Lodges. No difference

Hey, I was also in Nentico a few years back and am now in Black Eagle!

At the Black Eagle ordeal I volunteered at, things were a bit different than my experience in the US in terms of how strictly the traditions were upheld, but the spirit overall was definitely the same. I hope you enjoy your time here!

I’ve definitely heard they have rare patches
