Who can go? Any Arrowmen in good standing with the Ini-To lodge is eligible to attend conclave, no matter what section your lodge is part of.

 

What will I do? Conclave begins Friday evening with an opening arena show. The next morning is spent training members on a variety of topics relevant to the OA, and helpful for you as a leader in your home unit. In the afternoon, all bets are off as members take part in competitions of all sorts, and relax on the midway. The day ends with Section elections and a closing arena show.

Cheerful Service

Echeconnee Lodge is the Service Lodge hosting the 2012 Conclave at Benjamin Hawkins.  They have requested fellow Arrowmen to assist them on April 7 and April 14 in preparing the camp for over 800 participants.  Plan now on providing a hand so we will have a great event.
