Vigil Honor Nominations 2025

Please also consider the message below from the National Order of the Arrow website.

The Vigil Honor

Alertness to the needs of others is the mark of the Vigil Honor. It calls for an individual with an unusual awareness of the possibilities within each situation.

The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members for service to lodge, council, and Scouting. Membership cannot be won by a person's conscious endeavors.

The Vigil Honor is a high mark of distinction and recognition reserved for those Arrowmen who, by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest, have made distinguished contributions beyond the immediate responsibilities of their position of office to one or more of the following:

  • Lodge
  • Order of the Arrow
  • Scouting community
  • Scout Camp

Under no circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered as reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation.

Any member of the Order of the Arrow registered in Scouting and in good standing in a regularly chartered lodge is eligible for recommendation to the National Order of the Arrow Committee for elevation to the Vigil Honor provided that, at the time of the recommendation, the individual has been a Brotherhood member for a minimum of two years.

 

In Cheerful Service,

Elangomat Training Next Weekend

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

Next week at Scoutland, we will be holding an Elangomat Training!

The training will last from 9:30 A.M until roughly 12:30 P.M. There is no cost for the training but please also bring a water bottle, work gloves, work clothes, a notebook and pen, a raincoat, and your lunch. It will take place at the Pioneering Shelter of Scoutland on November 9th.

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.

This is the only training before Fall Fellowship so please make sure to sign up!

The link to register will be on the Mowogo website - Registration Link

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to me at lodge.vcm@mowogo.org.

 

Yours in Brotherhood,

Sankalp Yeleti | 2024 Mowogo Lodge VCM

Fall Fellowship is Two Weeks Away!

Brothers,

I hope you all are doing well and having an amazing Halloween!

There is now a little more than two weeks left until Fall Fellowship begins and you have ten days until the late fee is placed in effect. Register here

At our second-ever Fall Fellowship, outside of the service, prepare for chances to check out lodge memorabilia, trade patches, or try your chance in our auctions, explore Scoutland under the gorgeous fall colors, have some amazing food such as roasted pork loin, and meet new people who you will be friends with for a long time.

If you went through your Brotherhood in May this year or are still Ordeal before that point, you will be eligible for Brotherhood! Simply click "Converting to Brotherhood" during registration or email me if you already registered.

Finally, I encourage you to reach out and invite eligible scouts this weekend. If any scouts are at school with you or in your unit, talk to them about whether they can make it and send them the proper information. If they have any worries or concerns, be there to help them out. This is the last ordeal opportunity of the year and we are going to go out with a bang!

Both myself and your Chapter Chief will be open if you have any questions.

  • Who: Mowogo Arrowmen and all eligible Scouts. Share the word!
  • What: Mowogo Fall Fellowship
  • When: November 15th - 17th
  • Where: Scoutland
  • How: Register here

Yours in Enthusiasm,

Register for Fall Fellowship today!

Good Afternoon Arrowmen!

I hope you all are having an amazing autumn season!

In three weeks from now, registration for our Mowogo Fall Fellowship will close. Register now here or at Mowogo.org and avoid the late fee in early November!

Fall Fellowship is our final ordeal of the year and it shakes things up by being held at Scoutland under the beautiful fall colors! At fall fellowship, get ready to spend a weekend with friends, games, and brotherhood, and have some amazing Mowogo food. There will also be a chance for all brothers to get their Brotherhood at this event. You will be eligible if you did your ordeal in May!

It is also Troop election season! Encourage your troop to begin contacting your Chapter and getting in touch to schedule an election. If you have any scout in your unit that is eligible, I highly encourage you to invite them and go through their Ordeal! Not only is that another friend you will have this weekend but this could also develop them further down the line as a leader.

Please reach out if you have any questions or need help. I will always be here!

I look forward to seeing you there!

Yours in Enthusiasm,

Mowogo Event Registration Errors

During a recent software update to the mowogo.org website, a bug was introduced which caused event registration forms to fail when submitted. The problem has been corrected and event registration forms should now be functioning normally. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Before reattempting registration for an event, please close and reopen the browser window for the mowogo.org site. This will force the webpage to reload.

The reCaptcha security test can initially fail when a new browser, email address, etc. is used. If you see a reCaptcha test failure on the first attempt, clicking the submit button a second time will usually send the registration form through successfully.

Please contact webmaster@mowogo.org if you continue to experience any problems.
