Pow Wow Late fee starts tomorrow!

Hello Brothers,

The Pow Wow late fee is starting tomorrow, Friday the 13th! Be sure to register now at Mowogo.org or here before the price increases!

Pow Wow is our dedicated fellowship event of the year with festivals, great people, friendly competition, AMAZING food, and more! Anything you want will be offered at Pow Wow whether you enjoy sports, learning to be a better leader, show off your amazing skills, or simply hanging out with some friends you haven't seen in a while.

This weekend is special compared to some of our other events because it is not focused on an ordeal. You will not have to go through any of the challenges that occurred when you initially went through. The challenge will take place in deciding what training to take or on the parade field playing Ultimate Frisbee. Not to mention that the event is circus-themed and you are encouraged to dress up!

This event will also be a great opportunity to make some friends! A Lodge Chief reunion and panel will happen with chiefs from years prior and even several leaders from other lodges and our section are also invited to join us! I am personally excited to go around and meet you this week whether it's your first event with Mowogo or your 20th.

I look forward to seeing what unique adventure you will have at Pow Wow!

  • What: Tons of food, fellowship, and fun!
  • When: September 20th-22nd

Swapa OA Service Corps - Help Needed!

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

I hope the start of school is treating you well. SWAPA is the weekend of September 27-29. SWAPA is a campout for Apalachee and Sweetwater District, a district jamboree style camping event at Camp Rainey Mountain.

Staff is needed for OA Service Corp to help programs go smoothly throughout the weekend. There are many opportunities to help with programs. On Friday night help is needed with parking and getting cars there parking passes. The SWAPA OA Service Corp helps out areas who need assistance with program events or supporting the activities. We have a wide variety of programs that might need help with their activities and/or supplies. You do not need to stay the whole weekend as help is mostly needed on Friday evening to get troops checked in and directing vehicles. Saturday help is needed for the programs and getting ready for all of the scouts to have an awesome time.

Please Fill Out this Form https://forms.gle/76rc3e1gEe7EMv1KA if you are interested in volunteering for OA Service Corp.

Yours in service,

Katelyn King

Sign up for NLS and DYLC Today!

Brothers,

Registration is filling up FAST for the National Leadership Seminar and the time to sign up is now!

National Leadership Seminar (NLS) for Youth and Developing Youth Leadership Conference (DYLC) for adults are the premier leadership training programs of the Order of the Arrow. Both pieces of training complement skills taught at NYLT/Wood Badge all while providing new and useful skills to better your ability as a leader.

Being a training held on the region level, you would be able to meet various scouts and even national officers from all across the country and develop relationships that you will still have several years later. Ask any scout who has taken NLS/DYLC and they could still talk to you about the meaningful friendships they made.

NLS/DYLC also teaches very useful leadership tips and skills in an environment tailored to ensure you develop in the best way you can. You are taught leadership skills that focus more on you as a leader and how to channel your skills to what you need.

This year, the closest seminar is being held in Nashville Tennessee on November 1st-3rd. Register at registration.oa-bsa.org or here. Don't forget to sign in using your email to register!
