1 WEEK FOR NOAC

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

As of right now, there is 6 DAYS left for you to register for NOAC. Registration for the National Order of the Arrow Conference will close at midnight on March 28th (3/28), at midnight.

For those of you who don't know what NOAC is, or want to learn a little bit more about it, the National Order of the Arrow Conference is the largest event hosted by the OA, and the 2nd largest event in the BSA (behind National Jamboree), and will be attended by over 6,000 Arrowmen from every state in the US.

Registration for NOAC can be done here - NOAC Registration Link, and there are only 10 slots left for our lodge.

This year NOAC is taking place at the University of Colorado Boulder from July 29th to August 3rd (7/29-8/3). The contingent will be flying out that Monday, and flying back in on that Saturday from Hartsfield Jackson to Denver International Airport.

Exciting activities have ranged from elaborate escape rooms to national basketball competitions, golf excursions, and even professionally produced 5K and triathlon events! However, there is unorganized fun at NOAC as well.

Constantly at NOAC, you have the opportunity to meet new Arrowmen from across the country! If you want to take a look at some of the program, here's a link to the program for 2022 - Program Link. But 2024 is going to be even bigger than the last!

The price is a bit steeper, but it covers airfare, transport from CU to DEN, meals for a week, lodging, lodge merchandise, all training cells, all program costs, and the shows every night!

Also, patch designs are due TONIGHT, so if you have any ideas for patch sets, t-shirts, or hats, please send them to noac2024@mowogo.org

I cannot wait to see all of you in Boulder in a few short months, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me at noac2024@mowogo.org!

Yours in Brotherhood,
Sankalp Yeleti | 2024 NOAC Contingent Leader

Conclave in Paradise!

Hello, Mowogo Arrowmen both old and new!

Many of you went through your induction this past weekend and are curious about what the next opportunity to participate will be. You might be surprised to notice that a very awesome event is less than a month away! For all our members, new and returning, get excited because it is that time of the year again: Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for the tropical-themed Conclave in Paradise!

Conclave in Paradise will be held on April 19-21. Hundreds of Arrowmen across Georgia and Alabama will get together at Camp Thunder for a beachy weekend of fellowship, inter-lodge competition, and fun. If you talk to any Arrowmen who have been to a Conclave before, you will learn that it is a luau you will not want to miss.

At Conclave in Paradise, you will have the opportunity to experience fruitful training on both fun-filled subjects and possibilities to learn more about leadership. You can participate in different competitions varying from games such as Ultimate Frisbee and Volleyball to Indian Affairs ceremonies and dancing! The day could be spent with patch trading, meeting new friends, and channeling your enthusiasm on the awesome campfire program!

At the end of a long fun-filled day, you will be able to enjoy a delicious feast cooked by the Mowogo dining hall team and participate in the Tailypo festival with various games and activities hosted by different lodges!

Patches for NOAC 2024

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

It was wonderful to get to see all of you at Spring Fellowship this past weekend, but there's a lot more planned for this year!

With the National Order of the Arrow Conference happening this year, we are looking for anyone who would be interested in designing anything for our lodge. We are currently looking for designs for

• 2 Patch Sets
• 1 shirt design
• 1 hat design

Patch designs are due Friday at midnight, and they will be chosen by the LEC on Saturday.

Check the attachment for more specifics about what we're looking for!

Even if you don't want to design a patch, we would still love to have you come with our lodge to Colorado (UC Boulder) this summer. Spots are LIMITED, and we only have 10 spots left for the rest of Mowogo Lodge. Registration CLOSES 3/29/24, and there will be no exceptions for that rule. It is a little bit more on the expensive side ($1,035), but for airfare, transportation, meals, lodging, and the extensive program, it is an incredible and unforgettable opportunity.

In case you don't know what NOAC is, it's a full week of fellowship that will take place at UC Boulder this summer, (7/29 - 8/3). There's a whole lot to do, here's a link for the program at last NOAC - (Program Link), but I've heard that 2024 is going to have even more.

Registration can be done here - (Registration Link). If you have any questions, please email me at noac2024@mowogo.org.

Yours in Brotherhood,
Sankalp Yeleti
