Winter Conclave 2021 Recap
This past weekend, at Camp Soule, the lodge gathered for its annual Winter Conclave! We saw over 100 members in attendance and everyone helped out in some way. A few of the service projects included pressure washing, picnic bench building, brush clearing, and fence building. Our Vice Chief of Operations, Sam, hosted a training on OA terminology and also headed up a large game of Ultimate Frisbee. The fellowship
activities continued throughout the
evening, including a movie and boardgames.
Sunday, a lodge business meeting was held in which the Bylaws Resolution was passed. You can view the new Bylaws here or navigate to the “Forms & Downloads” page.
Overall, we saw 24 new members join the Order and 5 members seal their membership with Brotherhood. It was a fantastic weekend that is sure to keep the lodge’s momentum rolling. In the words of our lodge adviser, Mr. Daggett, “one lodge, working to be one great lodge.”

A Year’s End – A Thriving Lodge!
The Lodge has officially recharted as a thriving lodge! Think of the thriving lodge as a Journey to Excellence equivalent in scouting. It means we’ve gone above expectations and achieved great heights as an organization, all during a pandemic. Not many lodges achieved thriving status this year, but Mr. Daggett has already charged the LEC with reaching High Performing status next year. Overall, it’s been a great year in the lodge, and on behalf of the LEC and the Lodge Chief, we’d like to wish you a Happy Holiday Season!
