feld and a ferce taco brawl was fought by our lodge leadership. If you missed Conclave,

FIESTA!!

Conclave was held this year by Klahican lodge and they did a fantastc job at it.
From giant games of Jenga to dinosaur blow ups they had it all! Our lodge came
in frst place at the quest games and collected the most amount of canned food.
We brought more spirit then we knew what to do with.
A highlight video was made for this event and will be posted on the Natonal OA
YouTube page in the coming month, keep an eye out for it.

SUMMER CAMP! SUMMER CAMP! ITS COMING!!!!
There arent too many weekends at Camp Durant where we have such great

weather for setng up cots and cleaning for Summer Camp. Our new members
were hard at work this weekend giving cheerful service to our camp. A large
number of projects were completed thanks to everyone who partcipated.

Pow Wow was great. The Arrowmen had a fun tme and not a whole lot of
work. We had 15 Scouts pass their Ordeal and several achieve Brotherhood.
Our theme was Fiesta and I thought we did a wonderful job to promotng
spirit. Over all we had a great tme with good weather. Conclave was at a small
Lodge, but they did a wonderful job. The Jenga blocks were new and something
we will have in future events. Our lodge won the Quest games and we raised
the largest pound count for the food drive. Camping was good and everyone
had a great tme. Spring inductons produced 9 new Ordeal members and 15
new Brotherhood members. Overall we all had a good tme.
A major component of the OA is the Lodge campouts that happen throughout the year. These
campouts are where prospectve Arrowmen go through their Ordeal to become members of
the OA and where current Arrowmen enjoy service, fellowship, and fun. So far we have been
to Spring Powwow, Conclave, and Spring Inductons. At Powwow and Spring Inductons, we
had Arrowmen serve as Elangomats to help the inductees through their Ordeal while other
Arrowmen simply enjoyed the weekend with friends by partcipatng in the service projects
and watching ceremonies and the shows. At Conclave, the largest weekend outng of the year,
Arrowmen were allowed to freely explore and enjoy what Camp Bowers had to ofer and
everyone found something fun to do between OAX, the blood bus, or giant Jenga. Afer lunch,
the whole secton gathered for Quest for the Golden Arrow where Occoneechee took home
the crown once again. That night, Klahican Lodge treated the secton to a great show which
was followed by a fun tme at Cardinaval with fried food, ice cream, and other fun actvites.
This fall, we will be going to Fall Fellowship to put more potental Arrowmen through their
Ordeal to be followed by Occoneechee Council's frst Council Camporee in more than 2 years!
