 Dear Lodge Member:

In consultation with the District Camping Chairmen, the Supreme Chief of the Fire, and the Lodge Chief the decision has been made to move one of the Ordeal weekends this year due to schedule conflicts.

 

The Ordeal weekends have been revised to May 14-16th and May 21-23rd.

 

This information has already been updated on the Council Calendar and will be reflected in the Ordeal candidate letters that are being prepared for your respective chapter’s call-out ceremonies.

 

Online registration for the Ordeals will be available next week for Ordeal candidates, Brotherhood candidates, and general members.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

 

 

 

Yours in brotherhood,

Chiefly Speaking

My Fellow Scouts and Scouters,

  As I said at Winter Banquet, my main goal throughout the 2010 year is more service to Boy Scouts of America. In the spirit of doing so, you can find service ideas from the National Order of the Arrow on the Navigation Bar.

  I am amazed at the amount of emails I have already received from Scoutmasters, scouts, and Order of the Arrow members alike asking about this new initiative. Your excitement is inspiring, but we need many more people to get involved if we want this year to be successful.

  If you would like to know how to get involved, please let us know by taking the less than one minute survey at the top of the Navigation Bar called GO BEYOND ONE DAY. If you can not find anything that you can do, please do not hesitate to email me at lodgechief@ittawamba.org, or email any of the lodge officers.

  I am looking forward to an awesome year. Thank you all for the opportunity to serve you as Ittawamba Lodge Chief.

 

In Wimachtendienk,
Clint Beilke

Ittawamba Lodge #235 Member Arena

Did you know....

....our Lodge has 358 members?

....out of those 358 members, only about 50-60 show up to our big events?

....out of those 358 members, only 42 are members on the site?

....out of those 358 members, YOU can make a difference.

....out of 358 members, all it takes to get the other 357 members to come out and be a part of the Lodge is ONE member to get active and spread the word.

....ONE (scout) can bring his friend to the monthly roundtable?

....ONE (scout) can call his OA buddies and remind them about the "trip" this weekend?

You must remember that your FIRST

OBLIGATION is to YOUR TROOP.

For it is because of Boy Scouts of

America that Order of the Arrow can

exist. You CANNOT have Order of

the Arrow without Boy Scouts of America.
