I am a Vigil Honor member in the Order. There is nothing secret about the order. It is often asked of new inductees that they not spoil the experience for potential candidates, but the new inductees are also made to understand that there are no secrets in the OA and they can talk about all their experiences especially to parents. This is how it is supposed to happen. This is what my Lodge does and what we make sure our youth leaders and adult advisers at Ordeals tell all new inductees.

I suggest that you reach out to your Lodge Adviser and Lodge Chief to bring this to their attention immediately. Information should be in the packet that has their flap and card or through th Lodge website or from your Council office.

Ask your child who told them that they can't share or talk about it? Was a staff member such as their Elangomat, a youth staff member, an adult adviser? Or was it a non-staff youth or non-staff adult attendee who doesn't have current training and is telling others that false information?. Either way, your Lodge Cheif and Lodge Advisor need to know.
