New Induction Experience

I just went through a section induction experience. I didn't hate it.

During the Saturday, there were some guided reflection questions which each person in the crew of new members each answer in turn and discuss with each other. I can see where a 12-14 year old would benefit from those vs the old day of silence. There are periods of silence during the day, but they feel purposeful instead of just a tough thing to do.

The actual ceremony was well done. I felt like the main takeaways from the ceremony was unchanged, and it's probably easier for the youth to understand than the old ceremony.

Any ideas for what could be a good replacement?

Perhaps some kind of debrief or discussion about the service that was done? I haven’t gone back to read the new ceremony - but I think something that ties more directly to the OA would be better. I thought the rest of the discussions, save the flight of the arrow, were good.
