The Red Wolf's Way Dennis DuBois

Ceremonies are a valuable part of the Order of the Arrow. In the Ordeal ceremony, candidates learn about the principles of the OA. The Brotherhood ceremony seals the vows taken during the Ordeal and commits the member to a life of service. No matter what the ceremony, it is important to continually focus on how to best maintain and improve the quality of the ceremonies and the ceremonial teams.
In a guide to building and improving Order of the Arrow ceremonial teams, Dennis DuBois shares a plethera of information that explores native Woodlands people and cultures, complex safety requirements, the ways ceremonial actors can personalize character development, and methods for improving the staging of ceremonies that also offers ways additional members can participate (props, makeup, and drum and sound). Included are tips on memorizing parts and delivering lines, costuming and care, and presentation.
The Red Wolf's Way is a comprehensive handbook that includes practical tips on how to build and improve Order of the Arrow ceremonial teams.
