Drivers Needed for Conclave!

Hello Arrowmen Parents!

I hope you are all doing absolutely fantastic on this fine evening. I'm sending this email as an attempt to solve a problem we see as recurring with most OA events: transportation. This issue presents itself more obviously with farther events such as Conclave.

One of the most common reasons we get for not attending OA events is because scouts are unable to find a ride. Unfortunately, dozens, if not hundreds, of scouts face this problem every year. Right now we need some outstanding adult volunteers who would be willing to drive people to and from the event. If you are not in the OA but want to help drive then you do not need to register for the event or stay the weekend but you do need to fill out the form below.

Please consider being a driver and taking as many scouts as you can when you make your way to Conclave. You will be doing a great service and the people whom you give rides for will get to experience an event to truly remember.

The biggest criteria for driving though is to make sure Youth Protection Training is being followed. Unless the scout is a member of your family you are required to drive 2 scouts at a minimum and please make sure to visit the link here for the Guide to Safe Scouting guidelines on driving youth, and make sure when you fill out the form to include a copy of your completed YP training. You must be at least 18 years old to drive youth arrowmen.

Conclave will be held at Flint River High Adventure Area (Camp Thunder) at 1166 Dripping Rock Rd, Molena, GA. This is a 2-hour 45-minute drive from Scoutland.

If you are interested in being a driver then please be sure to fill out this Google form: https://forms.gle/nX72kgnVfaSfyyCp6

Please upload a copy of your completed and up to date Youth Protection Training to the google form. A link or screenshot of the certificate will suffice.

Thanks, everyone for their dedication to service! If you have any questions please feel free to email me at lodge.chief@mowogo.org and if you're over 18 make sure to copy a second adult. lodge.adviser@mowogo.org is my adviser Mr. Royston for YP purposes and wisdom of course.

Yours in Service,
