Fellow Arrowmen,
I hope that your spring is off to a great start! It was amazing to see so many people at our lodge's Spring fellowship. A special congratulations to members of the Keyauwee chapter for taking home the Chapter Spirit Award. We also greatly appreciate all of you who were in attendance for our lodge meeting where we discussed the direction and future of our lodge. We need your help to spread these changes and remember, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to your lodge leadership.
April is a very exciting month for us! On April 14th-16th, we load up the pirate ship and head out to camp Boddie for our annual section E8 conclave. Conclave is one of the most fun and exciting events the OA can offer with everything from AIA to OAX. Our theme this year is 'pirates', so grab your eye patch and ye trusty parrot, and come join us. I hope to see all of you there.
Yours In Wimachtendienk,
Garrett Cook
Lodge Chief, Tsoiotsi Tsogalii

Service Day at Cherokee Scout Reservation
If you are looking for service hours or service opportunities in general, the upcoming service day is a great option. Anyone may attend to help prepare camp for the summer. There will be a number of projects and tasks to be completed by participants. Feel free to come out for the day by yourself, with your unit, or with your Scout friends. Your help will be appreciated!

Next summer, Operation Arrow will continue the Order of the Arrow’s 60+ year legacy of providing service to the 2023 National Scouting Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve . . . and they need YOU. Serving as a young adult (16-33) jamboree service team member is the most affordable way to attend the 2023 National Scouting Jamboree and you’ll get to do more, experience more, and frankly be a part of something more than you would with any other program area or council contingent through Operation Arrow.
Operation Arrow staffers are the logistical boots-on-the-ground for the jamboree and the leaders of the Summit Apex program, the new and unique jamboree outpost experience. Operation Arrow isn’t all service either. Both youth and adult staffers have scheduled free time to enjoy the exciting program of the 2023 National Jamboree.
We hope to see you there! Learn more at oa-bsa.org/jamboree. Registration is open today!
