FELLOWSHIP

Fellowship is held in the month of June of each year.  Usually it is between the time of school getting out and the start of Summer Camp.  It is held at one of the council camps starting Tuesday at noon and continuing until Saturday at noon.  It is open to all Arrowmen.  The event includes:

1.  Elections for Lodge Officers for the coming year.  The Lodge elects a Chief, one or more Vice Chiefs and a Secretary/Treasurer.  Each nominee for officer must be under the age of 21 during his entire term of office.

2.  Classes on leadership skills, outdoor skills such as Dutch over cooking and otther skills are taught for the interest of the Lodge members.  The classes are not such that they comply for merit badge requirements.

3.  Competition in a variety of events is held in various field sports, together with OA related activities such as ceremony competition.

4.  There are often Native American Events.

5.  Food is outstanding (since we take over the camp for the week, we plan all of our own events and meals).  We end the week with a steak fry on Friday night.

This is the one event that is held each year just for OA members.  We take over the camp and open all of the facilities such as climbing walls, shooting sports, etc. for our own use.  In addition it is a time where Arrowmen can just hang out with friends or pick up a skill or two from some of the adult advisers.  Young Arrowmen have a chance to learns some leadership skills and some scoutcraft to take back home.

It is the highlight of the year and information on the current fellowship can be had on the Fellowship page.
