The Feather

To My Fellow Arrowmen,

We’re growing ever closer to our Spring Fellowship and Spring Induction! On March 7-9, I am looking forward to seeing all of your faces and awesome Medieval themed spirit. Fellowship is a time of fun, service, and expanding our brotherhood. I’m excited to celebrate those who also complete their induction this same weekend!

Conclave work days are still a major priority for us. Folks, Conclave is one short month away, and we need as much help as we can possibly get. Remember, to participate in the workday, you don’t have to be an arrowman; these are open to every scout across the council, and we encourage you all to bring your units out for some service hours. Please register for these workdays and help us help YOU have a wonderful Conclave!

The future is bright! I hope you all enjoy all the lodge has to offer in these coming months.

“Working gladly, not begrudging, seek to serve—and thus be faithful to the high ideals and purpose of the Order of the Arrow.” ~Allowat Sakima

Yours in Brotherhood,

Aubreigh McPhail

Lodge Chief

Spring Fellowship / Induction Weekend

The Spring Fellowship is the first event in the lodge's 30th anniversary celebration. The four event patches for the 2025 year merge with a jacket patch to create a larger image (as displayed above). Upon your arrival at Fellowship, you will receive the “Spring Fellowship” portion of the patch. This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss! After Spring Fellowship, there will not be any way to obtain this uncut patch ever again.

The Spring Fellowship is a time to meet old friends, make new friends, and share in the enthusiasm of the Order.  The Fellowships hosted by our lodge are one of the best ways to meet your fellow arrowmen, and absolutely all members of the lodge are invited and heavily encouraged to attend.

This year, after much deliberation we are proud to announce a Medieval theme!! Please dress up in your best “Medieval outfit”; you could be a knight, a prince or princess, a king or queen, an apothecary, a jester, the list goes on! (Points for creativity)

What is there to do?

  • Ordeal Induction
  • Brotherhood Conversion
  • Conclave Spirit Practice
  • Patch Trading
  • Medieval Skills
  • Various Trainings
  • Medieval skit competition (Start thinking up ideas now; there will be a prize for the winners!)
  • Cardboard Smithers (Craft thine own armor!)
  • Appearing for the first time ever, a new sub-event: the Chapter Championship
  • And lots more!
Registration

Registration closes tonight (March 4th) at 11:59 pm.
