Brotherhood

After 6 months of service as an Ordeal member, a member may take part in the Brotherhood ceremony, which places further emphasis on the ideals of Scouting and the Order. Completion of this ceremony signifies full membership in the Order.

It is important to note that Brotherhood is the only honor level that a Scout may choose for themself. Ordeals are elected by their units; Vigil honorees are selected by their Lodge.

The test and ceremony are intended to be sources of inspiration that motivates brothers to give even greater service to Scouting.  The meaning and purpose of the tests of the Ordeal will become much clearer at the Brotherhood ceremony.
