Designs for NOAC 2024

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

As more people get registered for NOAC this year, we need ideas/designs for the following items this year.

• 2 Unique Patch Sets
• 3 Shirts (1 design for all 3)
• 1 hat

If you have any designs you would like to share, or any ideas please feel free to let me know at noac2024@mowogo.org. The deadline for these is by February 24th, and make sure you follow the patch guidelines attached. Make sure they represent Mowogo Lodge as well as possible, and use some form of Mowogo branding.

The LEC will be voting on this design at our February LEC meeting (2/25/23), and approving the final designs.

If you would like to register, the link is up on the mowogo.org website, and if you would like to attend but need assistance, please email me.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out to me!

Yours in Brotherhood,
Sankalp Yeleti | 2024 NOAC Youth Contingent Leader

Elangomat Training Next Weekend

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

Next weekend at Machque Brotherhood Day at Camp Woodruff, we will be holding Elangomat Training!

The training will last from 12:30 P.M until roughly 4:30 P.M, when there will be the brotherhood ceremony. There is no cost for the training, but you will need to register for Machque Brotherhood Day ($10). Please also bring a water bottle, work gloves, work clothes, a notebook and pen, and a raincoat.

The upcoming dates are as follows:

• February 3rd - Woodruff Scout Camp (Will be held as a part of Machque Brotherhood Day)
• February 17th - Scoutland (Admin Building)
• March 9th - Scoutland (Craft Shack)

One of the most important pieces of our Ordeal weekends is the Elangomats. This is such a necessary role that has the potential to make or break the experience of the candidates.

The role of the Elangomat is simple - be a friend to the candidates. You serve with them throughout the day, staying silent, and eating little. It is an opportunity for you as an Arrowman to lead by example and demonstrate the cheerful service of our brotherhood.

Here is the link to register - Elangomat Training Registration Link

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at lodge.vcm@mowogo.org.

Yours in Brotherhood,

NOAC 2024 Registration is Open!

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

Registration payment for the 2024 National Order of the Arrow Conference at the University of Colorado Boulder is now open!

The National Order of the Arrow Conference is the largest national Order of the Arrow event. It is held every two years with as many as 6,000 Arrowmen from across the country. It is the second largest event following the BSA National Jamboree.

NOAC is a week-long experience unlike any other in the Order of the Arrow, and Scouting in general, with innovative training opportunities in the morning, large-scale activities in the afternoon, and professionally produced evening shows! In the past, there has been a helicopter landing, competitions ranging from ceremonies to a triathlon, patch trading, a conference-wide festival and much more.

Mowogo Lodge will be taking a contingent of Arrowmen to the 2024 NOAC event in Denver this year. The contingent plans to leave from the Atlanta Airport on July 29th to fly into Denver, and will fly back on August 3rd.

The Lodge has 30 slots and they will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once these are full, registration downpayment will be closed and we will begin adding members to a wait list.
