Conclave in Paradise - Two weeks away!

Brothers,

Conclave in Paradise is in less than two weeks and they are still accepting new registrations!

Don't forget to sign up and be one of the several hundreds of people across Georgia and Alabama who will get to enjoy several games, food, training, shows, and music with an amazing tropical twist!

Conclave is a unique weekend where you have the choice to participate in many different activities. You can explore Camp Thunder, learn how to play a game, hone your leadership with some training, socialize over cooking that you could not believe wasn't cooked at a restaurant, compete in some competitions against those devious Atlanta Area scouts, and sing your heart away at the Tailypo and Campfire.

I personally cannot wait for the live performance of Conclave in Paradise by our very own Jacob Alan Ball!

Conclave Drivers Needed Still!

Hello Arrowmen Parents!

I hope many of you are having a great evening. I'm writing this email to let you guys know that we did not have many people fill out the form in the last email I sent out regarding drivers for Conclave. Without transportation many youth in our lodge will be unable to go to Conclave this year and as it's one of the highlight events in an arrowman's OA journey and scouting career it's sad to see some miss out because they could not get a ride. Please read below for information regarding transportation and fill out the google form so that we have enough drivers for Conclave! Thank you.

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,
