Machque Brotherhood Day

Hello Mowogo Lodge,

Machque Brotherhood Day is coming up next weekend January 15th from 1:00pm till 7:00pm. The purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity for Ordeal Members to seal their membership in the Order as Brotherhood Members and of course to fellowship with each other. If you went through your ordeal during either spring fellowship or pre-camp in 2021 (or previously) you are eligible to acquire your Brotherhood membership. If you are already a brotherhood member you are also able to attend this event and ceremony to watch or help out if needed. The event will be located in the Nun building at Woodruff Scout Camp located at 31 Woodruff Dr, Blairsville, GA 30512. The fee for attendance will be $5 (Pay at the Door) to cover dinner. Please register at Mowogo.org. If you have any questions, feel free to call or email me at any time. I can't wait to see you all there.

Yours in Service,

Parker Scott

Indian Affairs Workshops

Brothers,

We have two upcoming IA workdays - February 5th and March 5th at CRM.
At these events we will be practicing ceremonies and working on Indian engineer projects.

On March 5th, we will have drumming available for anyone interested.

I highly encourage anyone currently involved in or interested in Indian Affairs to attend these events.
These workdays will be vital in preparing us for Spring fellowship (March 18 – 20) and Pre-Camp (May 20 – 22).

Yours in cheerful service,

Patrick McNair
Vice chief of Indian affairs 2022

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Online Registration 2022

Registration is now available for some of the 2022 events. Please note that the plans and dates below are tentative. Updates to the Mowogo schedule and event plans will be posted as needed.

Lodge Event Registration

Registration forms for upcoming major Lodge events are only made available one at a time. Once that Lodge function is over, registration for the next Lodge function will become available. For example, registration is currently only available for the Spring Fellowship event. PreCamp Fellowship registration will not go online until after Spring Fellowship. This limitation helps to reduce some of the burden on the admin team and reduce the number of registrations made in error for the wrong event.

2022 Mowogo event registration windows:

• Jan 1, 2022 - Mar 15, 2022: Lodge member Spring Fellowship 2022 registration window
• Mar 21, 2022 - May 17, 2022: Lodge member PreCamp Fellowship 2022 registration window
• May 23, 2022 - Sep 13, 2022: Lodge member Pow Wow 2022 registration window
• Sep 19, 2022 - Nov 29, 2022: Lodge member Winter Banquet 2022 registration window

Mowogo Season Pass

Back for 2022 is the Mowogo Season Pass. For those brothers that like to register for everything at the beginning of the year, this will provide the ability to register for Spring Fellowship, PreCamp Fellowship, and Pow Wow, with a single form. The Mowogo Season Pass will only be available between now and Spring Fellowship. After that time registration will only be available for single events at time. Sorry, but Winter Banquet registration will still need to be made separately.

• Dec 20, 2021 - Mar 15, 2022: Mowogo Season Pass 2022 registration window

Ordeal Registration

Ordeal registration is also only available for one event at a time. Registration windows for Ordeal candidates is as follows:

• Jan 1, 2022 - Mar 11, 2022: Ordeal - Spring Fellowship 2022 registration window
• Mar 21, 2022 - May 13, 2022: Ordeal - PreCamp Fellowship 2022 registration window

Group Registration

Group registration is only available for certain events, and should only be used if all members of the group share the same address, unit, chapter, ie. are members of the same family. To help simplify group registration, the only info required for each group member is name, birthdate, and BSAID. All address, contact, unit, and chapter information will be filled in as part of the billing info form.

If you wish to register multiple people for an event that are candidates or lodge members with different address and contact info, you will need to create multiple individual registrations. However, this can still be done with a single payment. After entering the first individual registration form, you will be given the option at the cart to register for another event. At that point simply register your next group member. The individual registrations will accumulate in the cart until such time as you are ready to pay.
