2026 Mowogo Indian Winter

Fellow Wearers of the Arrow,

I hope this e-mail finds you all well, as we approach the end of 2025. My name is Alexander Estes, and I have the high honor of serving as the Lodge's Vice Chief of Indian Affairs for 2026. There are a lot of things that I want to achieve to make our American Indian Affairs(AIA) program so much better. I believe everyone should have the oppurtunity to explore this program to better understand the deep symbolism of why we wear the arrow over our right shoulder.

On January 24th, 2026, we will host Mowogo Indian Winter at Camp Rainey Mountain. This will become our yearly workday, where we will also do work in our Ceremonies, as well as in our Drum and Dance program. We will form standing teams for all Ceremonies on that day. If you are even remotely interested in joining or learning more about our program, please do attend! We will also serve lunch there for everyone. More details will be posted as we move closer to the date of MIW. The deadline for the registration form attached below is January 12th at midnight. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or Mr. Britt Bramblett. Thank you for all that you do for our lodge!!

2026 Patch Design Submissions

Good afternoon Mowogo,

Since we are nearing the end of 2025, and 2026 is just around the corner, we need your help with our 2026 event patches.

If you would like to submit a set of patch designs for next year's Lodge Events, we need a set of patches for all five Lodge events, including Spring Fellowship, Pre-Camp Fellowship, Pow-Wow, Fall Fellowship, and Winter Banquet. Adults are allowed to submit designs as well, so if you have one, please send it our way! The deadline for the event patch designs has been moved to December 21st per the December LEC Meeting.

We also need patch designs for our Conclave Lodge Flap. The theme for Conclave this year will be “Aim High,” which is a duck-hunting themed event. No weaponry can be used in the design! The deadline for this design will be January 17th, and it will be voted on at the Winter Banquet LEC Meeting.

Please submit your patch designs to Vice Chief of Finance Kit-Kat (lodge.vcf@mowogo.org), Lodge Chief Andrew (lodge.chief@mowogo.org), and Lodge Advisor Mr. Preves (lodge.adviser@mowogo.org).

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

Yours in Brotherhood,

Service Beyond the Fire

1/9 to 1/11 - Camp Sidney Dew

Dear Arrowmen,

The fire of brotherhood, cheerfulness, and service continues to burn bright across Section E6, and this winter, it takes on a new form. We are proud to announce Service Beyond the Fire (SBTF), a new section event focused on meaningful service, fellowship, and personal growth.

Event Details:

• Location: Camp Sidney Dew
• Date: January 9–11, 2026
• Register: https://e6.oa-scouting.org/winter-event/

Service Beyond the Fire is more than a weekend of work, it is an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the environment, learn from local conservation partners, and explore new skills and career pathways. Modeled after the spirit of the Order of the Arrow High Adventure program, this event will allow Arrowmen to connect service with leadership and fellowship in a meaningful way.

We invite you to be part of this new experience and to join us as we strengthen the bonds that unite us in cheerful service.

Yours in Brotherhood,

Andrew Causin
