MOWOGO - Elangomat Training!

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

I am excited to announce the 2024 Elangomat training dates! As you know, Elangomats are the brothers who help to guide new Ordeal candidates through their Ordeal during Mowogo Lodge's three annual induction weekends: Spring Fellowship, Pre-Camp, and Fall Fellowship. We need as many of you as possible to become trained Elangomats to help make this year a success for both our Lodge and for the new Candidates.

The training will last from 9:30 A.M. until 1:30 P.M. unless otherwise stated. There is no cost for the training, but you will need to bring your own lunch. Please also bring a water bottle, work gloves, work clothes, a notebook and pen, and a raincoat.

The scheduled dates are as follows:

  • January 20th - Scoutland
  • February 3rd - Woodruff Scout Camp, Starts at 12:30pm (Will be held as a part of Machque Brotherhood Day)
  • February 17th - Scoutland (Admin Building)
  • March 9th - Scoutland (Craft Shack)

There will also be 2 dates between Spring Fellowship and Pre-Camp, so expect those dates sometime soon.

One of the most important pieces of our Ordeal weekends is the Elangomats. This is such a necessary role that has the potential to make or break the experience of the candidates.

The role of the Elangomat is simple - be a friend to the candidates. You serve with them throughout the day, staying silent, and eating little. It is an opportunity for you as an Arrowman to lead by example and demonstrate the cheerful service of our brotherhood.

If you are interested in serving at one (or more) of our Ordeal weekends this year, and either have not been previously trained or would like to be eligible for Wolf Clan this year, please register to attend one of the training dates and locations listed.

Pay special attention and note that our first Elangomat training is NEXT WEEKEND at Scoutland. Registration is on the Mowogo Website, and it is completely free to sign up. As our brothers who have previously served will tell you, the experience is life changing and helps to remind you of the purpose of our Order. I look forward to seeing you all at one of our Elangomat trainings!

Yours in Brotherhood,
