To My Fellow Arrowmen,
We had an incredible induction this past weekend at Cherokee Scout Reservation, where we inducted 66 new arrowmen and 33 new Brotherhood members! The weekend was full of service and fellowship, and I could not be prouder of our Lodge for helping this event be fantastic!
As we approach our Lodge Elections at Fall Fellowship this October, I would highly, HIGHLY encourage you all to consider running for a position. Whether the position is on the Lodge level or the Chapter level does not matter. Taking on a leadership role will help you grow not only as an arrowman, but as a person as well.
On the subject of Fall Fellowship, registration for this event is now OPEN! This Superhero themed Fellowship will be packed full of fun activities and spirit. If you were recently inducted, I would especially encourage you to complete your activation with this highly anticipated event.
We’ve had a great year so far, and I cannot wait to see how much better it can get!
“Soon you will be bound as Brothers in this great and honored Order, but only if you are determined to fulfill its obligations out of love for one another.” ~Meteu
Yours in Brotherhood,

Thank You...
Greetings, fellow Arrowmen!
As a member of the Council's Range and Target Activities Committee, I'd like to take a moment to express our gratitude to all that worked to clean up the Sporting Clays Trail.
You may not realize the impact that your service will have to both the camp and to the Council in just a few short weeks. Each year, the Council hosts the "Sporting Clays Classic" tournament in early October. Dozens of teams of participants from all over the area take advantage of our excellent facility over two days. This is a fundraiser for the Council, a large portion of the proceeds specifically fund the Camperships that allow the Council to ensure that any Scout can attend summer camp. It's a great cause, and the teams pay well to attend.
Part of providing the best experience we can to the participants is giving them a great impression of the course. Although the Classic takes place over just two days, it takes many weeks of preparation to get the trail ready. You were an important part of that this year. The trail gets overgrown, and suffers weather damage every year. Your cleanup efforts with the logs, branches, sticks, etc were nothing short of spectacular, the trail has never looked this good! It was very evident that you "went the extra mile".
In discussions with the participants, we often get feedback on their experience. I am fully expecting rave reviews on the condition of the trail. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and will help to grow the event even further in the future, aiding the Council's mission. I hope the weekend went well for all of you, and you continue on the path of cheerful service.
Yours in service,
Don Grisgraber
