Extended Elangomat Program
The word Elangomat is translated as "friend" from the Lenne Lenape. Thus, an elangomat serves as a friend
to the new ordeal candidate. The elangomat takes the four tests just like the candidates, and works closely
with them throughout the Ordeal
The Elangomat's work doesn't stop there. Ideally, the elangomat continues to work with the new Ordeal
members throughout their year as an Ordeal member. He makes sure they are giving meaningful service to
their unit, to Scouting, and to the Order.
Once the candidate has reached 10 months of membership in the Order, the Elangomat works with those
candidates to help them seal their ties of brotherhood.
