Upcoming Elangomat Training

Hello fellow Mowogo brothers and sisters,

I am excited to announce that two more elangomat training dates have been added to the lodge calendar! Registration is open for both of them on the lodge website now! The first elangomat training is this weekend at Indian Summer (August 19th) at Camp Rotary. The second one will be during the training cells at Pow-Wow in September (15th–17th).

These training classes are for anyone who wishes to serve as an elangomat during an ordeal weekend. It is for anyone who has not been trained previously, but also for those who have been trained but would like a refresher. It is highly encouraged for those reading this email to attend. These are the first two of three elangomat training classes to be announced before Fall Fellowship. Things to keep in mind with these training classes: they include at least an hour and a half of in-class training and then a service project. Be prepared with work clothes, gloves, water, and anything else to take notes along the way. I can't wait to see you all there!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at lodge.vcm@mowogo.org.

Yours in Service,

Alex Sutter

See you there!

For those planning to attend, we are excited to see you all this weekend. Our Chapter members and I love providing service to our council's primitive camping property, Camp Rotary. We hope you all will enjoy the property as much as we do. Just a few quick reminders.

• Bring all of your appropriate PPE (Work Gloves, goggles or glasses, and long pants)
• Bring the appropriate equipment (like loppers, hand saws, and other Scout-appropriate cutting implements)
• Be sure you are prepared for the weather (Water, Sunscreen, and a Hat)
  • Side note on hats. The camp's lovable mascot Scout (the dog) doesn't like Cowboy hats
    so unless you want to get barked at...maybe pick a different hat for the day
• A Bugle will be used for flag ceremonies. So if you or your Scout has sensory issues, please bring the appropriate
  equipment.
• Lastly, Registration closes on Wednesday at midnight. So please register before so that we can determine our food
  budget. If you have any issues with paying beforehand let us know as soon as possible.

Yours in Brotherhood,

Hayden Simpson

Section Leadership Conference

[Register Now]

Brothers,

The Section ACT Leadership Conference (SLC), formerly known as ACT Conference, is less than a month away! The SLC is a opportunity for all Arrowmen to grow their leadership skills with their brothers from across Georgia and Alabama. At this conference, attendees can expect to share ideas with and receive feedback from Arrowmen from other lodges, learn about opportunities for leadership within their local chapter and lodge, and be inspired to provide leadership in the Order of the Arrow.

The Section ACT Leadership Conference is August 26 at Bert Adams. There are options to stay overnight either Saturday or Sunday as well. The event will cost $15, and you can register at https://sectione6.oa-bsa.org/act-leadership-conference/.

I would highly encourage all Arrowmen to attend this event. We have completely overhauled the syllabus to provide new and more relevant trainings, so you will want to attend even if you have been to other ACT Conferences. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at the contact information below.

I look forward to seeing many of you at our Section ACT Leadership Conference!

Yours in Brotherhood,
Jacob A. Ball | Section Chief

Mowogo Drum Team

Mowogo Lodge,

The Drum has been a very distinguished piece of the Native American culture, as it provides the sound that we all know, the rhythm for dancers, and acts as the heartbeat for each and every tribe. The Mowogo Drum Team has suffered in past years with a lack of membership. As six year Lodge Drum Chief, I want to see the drum return to its prime, compete at Conclave, and become very prominent at each and every Mowogo event. However, a team requires people. If you feel like you might be interested in helping to revive this historical piece of our legacy, reach out. I hope to hear from many of you soon!

Yours in Brotherhood,
David Stratton
