Conclave in Paradise!

Hello, Mowogo Arrowmen both old and new!
ConclaveInParadise2024

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!

Be sure to sign up here and support Mowogo Brother and Section Chief Jacob Ball at his event and understand the meaning behind his legendary lyrics "Better than staying at a holiday inn"!

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

Hello Brothers,

Spring Fellowship is coming up and we are very excited for a weekend of fellowship and service.

 

Here is the Check-in procedure for arriving on Friday night between 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Members and Candidates will arrive in the parking lot and head to the Admin Building.

Please leave your gear outside while you go inside for check-in.

Everyone bring their Medical forms if needed inside to the check-in table so we can make sure everyone has registered, paid, and accounted for.

Everyone will receive a Patch Voucher that you will need to hold onto for the weekend. This is your way to receive your patch during checkout.

After turning in your paperwork:

Members will head back outside, and head to your chapter campsite.

Candidates will proceed to the medical officer with their Medical Forms, and then be assigned to a clan and receive an arm band.
We ask that candidates arrive as close to 6:30 as possible so that we can get them in their clans.

If you plan on becoming Brotherhood Members at Spring Fellowship, please be early as well since the Brotherhood hike will start at 8 p.m. from the dining hall porch.

Check-out procedure

Everyone will have received a Patch Voucher when they check in and will need to turn it in on Sunday when they check out to receive their patch. Turning in the Patch Voucher is how we know that you have left the property.

From after Breakfast Sunday morning, someone will be available in the Admin Building, swapping Patch Vouchers for Patches, and checking people out. Once you have turned your ticket in and received your patch, you are free to go home.

If you must leave early, please check out with one of the Admin team or leave your Patch Voucher with your Chapter Adviser so that they may collect your Patch.
