Arrowmen,

It’s been a while since our last Feather, and our lodge has accomplished a lot during that time.

We hosted an incredible six call-out ceremonies at summer camp and called out more than 100 new members. That’s something to be proud of!

We also hosted a Section Induction Experience to teach our fellow lodges how to provide the new induction experience to the best of their ability. More than 200 people attended this training. To all of the staff members who helped provide this training, thank you. And to all of the brothers who attended to see the new induction in action, thank you as well.

With a Section Induction Experience under our belt, we were finally able to open the new induction to our own candidates this past weekend at Cherokee. We inducted 100 new members and provided the induction experience to 20 current members.

To any recent inductees reading this: Welcome to Lodge 70!

We hope to see you again at Fellowship, October 2-4. We have a Wizard of Oz theme planned, along with many Wizard of Oz-themed games and activities. We would love to see you there!

Thank you,

Samuel Whitesell
Tsoiotsi Tsogalii

Fall Induction Recap

What an incredible weekend at Cherokee Scout Reservation! We welcomed 191 members at check-in, celebrated 91 new members completing their Induction, and recognized 8 members who sealed their membership by earning Brotherhood.

Together, our members provided over 800 hours of service, completing projects that help ensure Cherokee Scout Reservation is ready for upcoming events and camping programs. Thank you to every Arrowman who contributed their hard work, leadership, and dedication. Your commitment to service truly made a difference.

"We Three Are Friends" has been our name for decades, but the spirit of Brotherhood has always guided our path.

This Fall Fellowship, journey with Tsoiotsi Tsogalii Lodge to the magical Land of Oz. Leave the ordinary world behind and follow the Yellow Brick Road to an adventure where Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service shine brighter than the Emerald City itself.

Join fellow Arrowmen as we travel through a world of wonder, meet unforgettable friends along the way, and discover that the qualities we seek have been within us all along. Whether you have the courage of the Lion, the heart of the Tin Woodman, the wisdom of the Scarecrow, or the determination of Dorothy, there is a place for you on this journey.

Gather your friends, click your heels, and prepare for a Fall Fellowship filled with fun, fellowship, and memories that will last long after the journey home. After all, there's no place like CSR!

Get ready for the ultimate Order of the Arrow experience!
The National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) 2027 is coming to the University of Illinois Urbana‑Champaign (UIUC) on July 26–31, 2027, and you won’t want to miss it.

NOAC happens only once every few years and brings together thousands of Arrowmen from across the country for a week packed with:

• High‑energy shows and arena events
• Hands‑on training and leadership development
• Amazing patch trading and fellowship
• Inspiration, service, and memories that last a lifetime

Whether you’re a brand‑new Arrowman or an experienced leader, NOAC is where the OA comes alive. You’ll grow as a leader, build friendships with Arrowmen from other lodges, and experience the Order on a national scale.

NOAC 2027 is more than a conference — it’s an experience. Be part of it!
