Bull Weekend Recap

Bull Weekend was a great success! We had over 30 brothers complete their ordeal and 16 seal their membership with the brotherhood. Over 500 hours of service were given to Flaming Arrow, which is amazing! The weekend wasn’t all work. It saw the first installment of this year’s theme “Bulls Through Time” with a prehistoric themed weekend and dino-tastic activities and games. Everyone had an awesome time and we can’t wait for the next event. Keep an eye out for LLD and fall conclave.
