To My Fellow Arrowmen,
What an honor it is to serve as your 2025 Tsoiotsi Tsogalii Lodge Chief! To everyone who has helped me along my scouting journey, I extend my deepest gratitude and thanks. And a special thank you to you all for trusting me to lead our lodge! I am excited to see what this new year will bring for our lodge, and I am confident in my Lodge Executive Committee's talents and leadership skills to help this year run smoothly for us all.
As we gear up for the new year, we will be heavily focused on hosting this year's Section E8 Conclave. We need all the help we can get! Below are the next service days that will be utilized for preparing the camp for the event:
January 11, 8:30AM-4:30PM, Cherokee Scout Reservation
February 8, 8:30AM-4:30PM, Cherokee Scout Reservation
February 22, 8:30AM-4:30PM, Cherokee Scout Reservation
March 15, 8:30AM-4:30PM, Cherokee Scout Reservation
March 29, 8:30AM-4:30PM, Cherokee Scout Reservation
Additionally, I would encourage you all to keep up with recent communications via this newsletter, Facebook, and Instagram. It is important for us as a lodge to be knowledgeable on what is happening around us and know what we can do to support each other.
The OA is rich in opportunity and fellowship. If you’re involved with the lodge just on the surface level, I would encourage you to branch out; be a part of the service corps, attend a ceremonies practice, or simply step up in chapter leadership. I can’t wait to see how all of us grow and change over this new year!
“Brothers, we are ready.” ~Allowat Sakima
Yours in Brotherhood,
Aubreigh McPhail
Tsoiotsi Tsogalii Lodge Chief
