Machque Brotherhood Day 2025

Machque Brotherhood Day is an annual event that is hosted by Machque Chapter of Mowogo Lodge. Here, arrowmen can take part in fun activities as well as a Brotherhood ceremony.

An Elangomat training class will also be available for arrowmen who are interested, and it is highly encouraged that participants take this training. If you are converting to Brotherhood, please check the "Converting to Brotherhood" box on your registration and bring a printed copy (or handwritten so long as it is legible) of your brotherhood letter to check in. Walk-in participants are welcome, but pre-registration is requested so that there are enough sashes and food for all.

The event will take place at Woodruff Scout Camp (31 Woodruff Dr, 30560, Blairsville), at the Nunn building. Camp Woodruff is receiving some unexpected maintenance due to cold weather, and while we regularly meet in the Nunn building for this event, we may move to another location on camp.

Upon arrival, check with a Machque representative at the camp gate to ensure that you are informed on where the activities will be taking place. After our Brotherhood ceremony has concluded for the day, we will hold an evening banquet and fellowship meeting.

Check in will begin at 12:00PM on Saturday (February 8th), and the Elangomat training as well as games and fellowship activities will begin at 1:00PM. Lunch will not be provided, so arrowmen are advised to bring their own sack lunch or eat before arriving.

The registration fee for this event is $10, and payment will be collected at check in (payments must be made in cash). Please come prepared and study the ideals of Brotherhood found in your OA handbook (pg. 60).

Machque is thrilled to see everyone there!
