Conclave - Late fee 3 days away

Brothers,

Do not forget to sign up for Conclave in Paradise on April 19th-21st!

For anyone who likes to sign up at the last minute, I would start to register now as the late fee will be put into effect on April 1st. This is within three days!

Conclave is a unique event because there is always something to do and fun activities to take part in. I am personally excited for the Jimmy Buffet Music Hour with our very own Lodge Chief Alex Sutter!

We also currently have not achieved our registration goal. Reaching this goal will make it significantly easier to achieve spirit lodge at Conclave!

Additionally, patch orders are officially out and you can place an order for up to 10 patches for $5 each with this link here.

Once again, be sure to register as soon as possible before the $40 fee increases in price. Register here.

If you can be a driver for the event then we encourage you to fill out this form: Drivers Form

Address: Flint River High Adventure Area at 1166 Dripping Rock Rd Molena GA
Times: April 19th - April 21st
Register: https://form.jotform.com/233048078850156

I look forward to seeing you in paradise!

Yours in Enthusiasm,

Drivers Needed for Conclave!

Hello Arrowmen Parents!

I hope you are all doing absolutely fantastic on this fine evening. I'm sending this email as an attempt to solve a problem we see as recurring with most OA events: transportation. This issue presents itself more obviously with farther events such as Conclave.

One of the most common reasons we get for not attending OA events is because scouts are unable to find a ride. Unfortunately, dozens, if not hundreds, of scouts face this problem every year. Right now we need some outstanding adult volunteers who would be willing to drive people to and from the event. If you are not in the OA but want to help drive then you do not need to register for the event or stay the weekend but you do need to fill out the form below.

Please consider being a driver and taking as many scouts as you can when you make your way to Conclave. You will be doing a great service and the people whom you give rides for will get to experience an event to truly remember.

The biggest criteria for driving though is to make sure Youth Protection Training is being followed. Unless the scout is a member of your family you are required to drive 2 scouts at a minimum and please make sure to visit the link here for the Guide to Safe Scouting guidelines on driving youth, and make sure when you fill out the form to include a copy of your completed YP training. You must be at least 18 years old to drive youth arrowmen.

Conclave will be held at Flint River High Adventure Area (Camp Thunder) at 1166 Dripping Rock Rd, Molena, GA. This is a 2-hour 45-minute drive from Scoutland.

If you are interested in being a driver then please be sure to fill out this Google form: https://forms.gle/nX72kgnVfaSfyyCp6

Please upload a copy of your completed and up to date Youth Protection Training to the google form. A link or screenshot of the certificate will suffice.

Thanks, everyone for their dedication to service! If you have any questions please feel free to email me at lodge.chief@mowogo.org and if you're over 18 make sure to copy a second adult. lodge.adviser@mowogo.org is my adviser Mr. Royston for YP purposes and wisdom of course.

Yours in Service,

3 DAYS FOR NOAC

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

There are officially 3 days left for you to register for NOAC. Registration will close on March 28th at midnight, so please make sure you go ahead and do it ASAP.

The National Order of the Arrow Conference will be held in Colorado (University of Colorado Boulder) this summer (7/29-8/3), and is an amazing opportunity. With the event only happening every 2 years, I highly recommend taking advantage of it being this coming summer. You get a ton out of it, including training, fellowship, and getting to see and live on a college campus for a week.

Registration can be done here - Registration Link

And if you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at noac2024@mowogo.org. Can't wait to see you all in Boulder!

Yours in Brotherhood,
Sankalp Yeleti
