NOAC 2024 Registration is Open!

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

Registration payment for the 2024 National Order of the Arrow Conference at the University of Colorado Boulder is now open!

NOAC2024 Patch smThe National Order of the Arrow Conference is the largest national Order of the Arrow event. It is held every two years with as many as 6,000 Arrowmen from across the country. It is the second largest event following the BSA National Jamboree.

NOAC is a week-long experience unlike any other in the Order of the Arrow, and Scouting in general, with innovative training opportunities in the morning, large-scale activities in the afternoon, and professionally produced evening shows! In the past, there has been a helicopter landing, competitions ranging from ceremonies to a triathlon, patch trading, a conference-wide festival and much more.

Mowogo Lodge will be taking a contingent of Arrowmen to the 2024 NOAC event in Denver this year. The contingent plans to leave from the Atlanta Airport on July 29th to fly into Denver, and will fly back on August 3rd.

The Lodge has 30 slots and they will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once these are full, registration downpayment will be closed and we will begin adding members to a wait list.

Mowogo.org Website

Greetings Mowogo Lodge Members,

Starting in late November, we began updates to our mowogo.org site. It was time for critical software upgrades to keep our site safe and secure, and to eliminate some tools and features that were no longer needed or supported.

We completed the majority of the updates in December, and some additional updates this month. At this time, all planned updates and changes are now complete. Thanks for your patience.

Though a number of enrichment articles have been posted to the mowogo.org news blog over the past couple of months, from some of the recent emails and questions that have been received it is clear that not all of our members are aware of the changes. Please read on so that you will understand what has changed and why.

Website Look

We were able to preserve the previous website template, so the look and feel of the site should be very familiar. You will notice a few changes to menus, file downloads, the registration system, and user accounts.

User Accounts

Over the past several years, the Mowogo admin team has been phasing out website personal login accounts. This has been in progress since all member profile information is now accessible through the LodgeMaster Member Portal, and the number of website pages and content that required password protection has steadily decreased. Over time, the number of individuals that actually login to the website has dropped dramatically to the point that there were less than 20 general members who logged in last year.

NOTE: No login is required to pay dues, transfer to Mowogo, order trading post items, or register for events. The Mowogo online registration forms have not required login for the past five years or more. Simply select the desired form from the Registration menu or one of the event links and complete it.

As of Today (Monday, January 22, 2024) the last of the personal website login accounts have been removed. The only accounts that will continue to be maintained are those used by a small group of admin team members that must access the website for registration and maintenance purposes. As this has been a gradual phase out process, it is not anticipated that this will cause any inconvenience for general Lodge Members going forward.

File Attachments

Another noticeable change to the site is in the way downloadable file attachments are presented. The previous file download system was no longer supported, so this feature had to be moved to a new system. Many older files that were no longer valid have also been purged from the system. Though we will continue to link files in web pages like before, there is now a new menu entry that will allow access to all downloadable content on mowogo.org.

Mowogo -> Administration -> File Download Archive

From this menu selection you can now view all files on the site that are available for download by category, including back issues of Arrow Points.

Registration System

The most significant change to the website completed in December was the complete replacement of the Mowogo online registration system. Unfortunately the registration software that we have been using for many years is no longer supported, so we have moved to a new registration platform that provides most of the same features. You will find that the event pages and registration forms have a different look, but we have attempted to keep most of the registration flow and required information the same.

One difference is that the registration cart is no longer supported. To allow registration of more than one person with a single transaction, we have gone back to supporting group registration. When you choose to register for an event, you will find 2 buttons - one to register a single individual and the other to register a group of two or more. When registering a group, minimal information must be entered for each group member (name, BSA ID, birthdate, etc.), and then unit and chapter info is requested when entering billing info. It is recommended that the group member handling the billing/payment be entered as the first group member if possible, but this is not required.

Another feature used in the past that is no longer available with the new software is auto fill in of registration form fields. Sorry for any inconvenience. You can avoid filling out a bunch of event registration forms by using the Mowogo Seasonal Camping Pass.

2024 Mowogo Events

Events/registration forms now available include:

  • Mowogo Seasonal Camping Pass (formerly called Season Pass)
  • Spring Fellowship - Lodge Members
  • Spring Fellowship - Ordeal Candidates
  • Elangomat Training
  • Machque Brotherhood Day

Requesting Online Registration/Order Forms

 
Lodge leaders, event organizers, and trading post members,
 
If you are organizing an event or setting up a trading post order and and wish to have on online registration or order form added to the website, there is certain information that must be provided to the Admin Team to make that happen. The Admin Team typically must correspond with the requester via several emails to extract all of the required info needed to post a form.
 
To help in this process, a reference page has been added to the website which lists all information needed for creating an online registration or order form.
 
 
Before requesting your next registration or order form, please review and collect the info needed in advance.
The above page also contains an email link through which you can submit your request.
 
If you have any questions, please contact the Admin Team via registration@mowogo.org.
