Mowogo 2022 Pow Wow

Brothers,

I hope you’re all doing well.

Fall Pow Wow is just around the corner! Pow Wow is one of our lodge’s largest and most attended events each year. Taking place on September 16th-18th this year you won’t want to miss it!

Pow Wow is a unique event for our lodge, focused on fellowship, fun and brotherhood! You could compare it to a camporee, each chapter will participate in games, activities and trainings competing to take home the coveted Black Bear!

On Saturday morning we’ll have training cells, an opportunity to learn and earn points for your chapter. In the afternoon we’ll have games, some past examples are: Tug of War, Ultimate Frisbee, Wischixin, Waguli Stick, A Plunger Relay and more. All games are played Tournament Style with each chapter competing for third, second and first place!

One of the most important aspects of Pow Wow is Lodge Officer Elections. If you’re looking to run for a position, or would like to have a say in your 2023 Lodge Officers, you’ll have to attend. Elections will be taking place Sunday morning after breakfast and a short Scouts Own.

You may not know this, but if you went through your Ordeal at Spring Fellowship, you’re eligible for Brotherhood at Pow Wow! If you’re interested in converting to Brotherhood membership all you have to do is check a box when you sign up that says, “Converting to Brotherhood.” Your OA Handbook lists the requirements. Make sure you get those done before Pow Wow and you’re all set.

Register before Friday September 9th to avoid the late fee and remember that registration closes on Tuesday September 13th!

IMPORTANT: If you are unable to attend Pow Wow but would like to remain active in the lodge you will have to pay your dues for 2023 on the Mowogo Website. Lodge dues are included in the cost of Pow Wow every year, so this is an important step for all who cannot attend.
If you are not attending Pow Wow, you can pay your dues here: Pay Dues & Transfers

I hope to see you there,

Mowogo Lodge Vice Chief of Communication

Founder's Award 2022 Nominations

Mowogo Brothers,

Hello everyone. I hope your summer has treated yall well and for many of you school is doing the same if not better. Our next lodge event is Pow Wow where we highlight the Cheerfulness aspect of our order. With this event we also hold our Founder’s Award Committee meeting to go over nominations and candidates who might be recognized with the Founder’s Award.

For those who do not know, the Founder’s Award was made to recognize arrowmen who have given outstanding service to their lodge and demonstrate that he or she personifies the spirit of selfless service. These attributes were advocated by the founders of the Order of the Arrow, E. Urner Goodman and Carrol A. Edson, hence the name of Founder’s Award. If more than one award is presented each year one must go to a youth under the age of 21. Our lodge normally recognizes two very deserving arrowmen each year. To see past recipients of this award go to our lodge website under Founder’s Award or click here: Mowogo Lodge - Founder's Award

To better look at all of our deserving arrowmen of this award each year we accept nominations from anyone in the lodge. So if you think of someone who is deserving for this distinguished award please find the nomination form linked below and follow its instructions on what to fill out and how to submit it. Please note to look at our lodges' past recipients so you don’t nominate someone who has already been recognized with this award. If you would like to present the committee your nomination in person you are able to do that as well, but please contact me before we hold the meeting so I know who is presenting and to give you the meeting time and place.

Finally remember to keep Mowogo as strong and as serving as we always are. GO BEARS!

Yours in Service,

Evan Bryan
Mowogo Lodge Founder’s Award Committee Chairman
