Craig Leighty reports that our fellow arrowman, Doug Krutilek, had a sudden, serious, turn for the worse. Doug is a long time active member of our lodge and has given extraordinary service to the council, lodge, and scouting. ... continued.

Doug's wishes are that at his service, the OA Broken Arrow Ceremony be performed. It will be appropriate to have all Arrowmen that knew Doug are invited to attend the service in full uniform.

Update
