Celebrate Our Brothers!

Good morning, Mowogo Lodge!
I hope this finds you well.

On Saturday, August 13, the Northeast Georgia Council will recognize volunteers in our council who have given much of themselves in service to Scouting. At this event, Scouters who have served in District and Council level roles will be recognized for being selected for the District Award of Merit and for the Silver Beaver awards for 2022. Another volunteer in our council will be recognized for his service to Scouting on the national level and was chosen by the Boy Scouts of America to receive the Silver Buffalo award.

As you may know, Vigil Honor Brother Jason Stribling of Demorest, Georgia was chosen earlier this year by the National Order of the Arrow Committee to receive the Distinguished Service Award for his many years of dedicated service to the Order of the Arrow beyond the service and contributions to Mowogo Lodge. Jason will also be recognized for the achievement at the Council Recognition Event on Saturday, August 13.

In addition to recognizing Jason, some of our active members will be recognized for being selected the Silver Beaver award including Jake Magahee, Christopher Ball, and John Hanes. And the very first Lodge Chief of Mowogo Lodge, Brother Abit Massey, will be recognized for his selection for the Silver Beaver award as well.

As you can see, the service of our members and many others that give so much to the betterment of all of the Scouting programs in our council are being duly recognized for their service. Each of you are invited to celebrate these outstanding individuals. Please consider joining with the rest of the Northeast Georgia Council in this celebration and let's show our brothers our appreciation!
