MA KA JA WAN LODGE 40 EXAMPLES

The Example Tradition:

“At the Christmas Banquet, December 12, 1932, the Lodge established a fine tradition of the Example. This was to honor a Scout of the Brotherhood honor who had best exemplified Cheerful Service, to take the ordeal along with the new candidates. In 1960, the only addition was to have two examples, one from each camp.” -40^th Anniversary Lodge History 1969

“The tradition of the Example is one of the oldest and finest in the Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Lodge. The notion of having a BROTHERHOOD or VIGIL member take the Ordeal along with the Candidates is in the finest tradition of Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service. Because of this, it is considered to be a great honor to be selected to represent the Lodge in this way. …The selection of the Examples is the power of the Chief alone. … No One is to be Example more than once. If someone is called out to be Example but can not serve as one, he shall be considered to have been Example at his first opportunity.”

–Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Honorsmaster Manual, 1982 rev.

(Lodge records go back to 1946 for Examples)
