(The Call Out Team Enters) Allowat Sakima: We, Brothers of the Order of the Arrow, Tatanka Lodge 141, are here to recognize those scouts, who have been judged by their peers to be worthy of our order. From this moment on, there should be only silence till our task is complete. If there is any disturbance, the team will stop. If the disturbance continues, the team will leave. I, Allowat Sakima, as cheif of this lodge, now open this lodge in the call-out. Brother Nutiket, as guard of our lodge, will you perform the duty entrusted to your charge. Nutiket: Great Spirits of teams past and gone, grant us your blessing as we begin this our sacred ceremony. (Drum Chant) Allowat Sakima: Brother Kichkinet, as guide of our lodge, search out among these people and see if there be those who will spend themselves in the service of others and are worthy of our brotherhood. Kichkinet: (Starts from the right and slowly walks in front of the crowd, staring into the crowd. Upon reaching the end of the crowd, return back into place) Brother Allowat Sakima, I have found some who exemplify the principles of the Scout Oath and Law and are ready to serve others. Allowat Sakima: Brother Meteu, medicine man of our lodge, will now remind us of our solemn duty. (All Kneel) Meteu: (Rises) There should fall a solemn silence O'er the brothers in our circle, For our thoughts should now be centered On the noble goal and purpose That has called us all together. We who love the woods and camping, We who strive in cheerful service, Stand beside and urge them forward On the next step of their journey, On their long and toilsome journey; And with guidance from our Maker We will ever travel onward Each one ready now to help them Through their toils and tribulation, Through their silent meditation. This our purpose and intent Mark with silence reverent. (He kneels again) (After a moment of silence, rise up together.) Allowat Sakima: (Face Each direction spoken of) East wind, home of the rising sun, watch overour council fire tonight! South wind, home of the mild and warm winds, watch over our council fire tonight! West wind, home of the setting sun, watch over our council fire tonight! North wind, home of the mightiest wind of all, watch over council fire tonight! (Turn and face the crowd) (Loud) Let the call out begin! (A large sound should be heard possibly a gun shot or a drum beat) (Each name is called out one by one and the new candidates are escourted by Kichkinet to Allowat Sakima, who taps them on the shoulder three times, Kichkinet then escourts the candidate to Meteu, who puts a single claw around the candidates neck for his coup. The candidate is then escourted away from the crowd. Once all of the candidates have been taken elsewhere, the team leaves in silence and goes to where the candidates are. The team gives the candidates all appropriate information and get names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. from the candidates.)
