ACT Conference Registration

Brothers,

First, I would like to thank everyone who attended NOAC this year. Mowogo got some great representation because of the servant leadership each of y'all displayed at the event.

One of the best things about NOAC is the emphasis on training to better yourself, and subsequently your local community. One of the best ways you can get trained to help our lodge succeed in the future is by attending the Section E6 Adapt, Collaborate, and Thrive (ACT) Conference.

The ACT Conference will be hosted at Comer Scout Reservation in Mentone, AL from Saturday August 27th, through Sunday August 28th. This event will cost $15, which you will need to bring with you on Saturday. More information about the actual content of the event can be found here. If you have any questions about the logistics of this conference, please email me at lodge.chief@mowogo.org, or give me a call (following YPT) at (678) 899-3120.

You can register for the event here. I would highly recommend anyone interested in running for, or currently in a chapter or lodge leadership position attend this conference. This conference helps show where the Order of the Arrow is heading, and how we as leaders in this organization can help steer it in the right direction. If you need help organizing transportation to and from this event, please indicate so on the form. This form will close on August 11th at 11:59 pm. Please register before then. Thank you all so much, and I look forward to seeing you at the ACT Conference.

Yours in Brotherhood,

Mowogo Indian Summer Update

Hello Everyone,

The Ani-Gatogewi Chapter has been working hard on preparing for this year's Indian Summer. For those able to attend, we can't wait to see you all. We hope that you can join us in providing service for our Council's Primitive Camping Facility.

We would also like to remind everyone to bring the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) like work gloves, goggles, and close-toed shoes. Also please bring water bottles and things that can be used to cut back tree branches and brush (i.e. hedge clippers and other scout-appropriate hand tools).

I also hope you enjoy our training cells on various aspects of Indian Affairs. There will also be an Indian Lore Merit Badge class.

Registration is 15 dollars, 10 for food, and 5 for the patch. LEC members please register for the event so that we can purchase enough food for everyone in attendance. Our event will take place on August 20th. Click here for a copy of the Schedule

The last thing I leave you with is a quote from the Namesake of the City of Seattle, Washington. About finding one's purpose and following their mission to fulfill it. As we who love the woods and camping strive to maintain the places we love for the future of our council and the scouting program.

“When you know who you are; when your mission is clear, and you burn with the inner fire of unbreakable will; no cold can touch your heart; no deluge can dampen your purpose. You know that you are alive.” – Chief Seattle, Duwamish Tribe

Join SWAPA Jamboree Staff

Dear Brothers,

I want to connect with you all and invite you to be part of a brand-new event in Northeast Georgia Council. This year, instead of a fall camporee, Apalachee and Sweetwater District will come together and launch a jamboree-style event at Camp Rainey Mountain. Picture a mini-summer camp weekend with all the program stations open, several fun events, and time to unwind with your friends while having a great time.

As you know, Coming out of COVID, our troops are struggling. They need excitement, spirit, and fellowship to help each of them grow their Scouting programs. We can help!! With your support we can infuse this event with spirit and excitement and make SWAPA an event to remember - it will be SPECTACULAR!! SWAPA will allow troops from both Sweetwater and Apalachee Districts (as well as troops from other districts and councils) to come together and experience the FUN of the Scouting program, without the pressure that hosting or competing may create. The more troops come, the more amazing SWAPA will be.

There are two ways to help. One - promote the event to your troop and get them excited to attend. Two - become part of the best ever, NEGA famous, youth staff.

WHEN: 9/30-10/2
WHERE: Camp Rainey Mountain

The goal is to have a full youth staff composed of Scouts aged 13 and at least First Class or are members of a Venturing Crew. In addition to supporting specific program areas of interest, we are also looking for a youth leadership team that will include an SPL, ASPLs, Masters of Ceremonies for the campfire and battle of the air bands, program area leads, and communication leads for social media. In addition, there is an opportunity to volunteer in the OA Service Corps.

Staffers receive meals, a staffer t-shirt, and of course...a patch!
Although you are volunteering, each youth staffer will still have opportunities to participate in the program. The goal is for everyone to have fun.

Program Highlights:

• Dragon (Cardboard) Boat Regatta
  
• High Adventure Challenge
  
• Cowboy Action Shoot*
  
• Rifle/Shotgun/Archery/Tomahawks
  
• COPE/Climbing
  
• Dutch Oven Cookoff
  
• Scout Games
  
• Ultimate Frisbee Competition
  
• Battle of the Air Bands
  
• Campfire
  
• OA Museum and Ice Cream Social
  
• and more
  

Please complete the staff application link. Applicants will be reviewed in the order that they are received. We are looking forward to putting on an amazing event together.
