Mowogo 2022 Pow Wow

Brothers,

I hope you’re all doing well.

Fall Pow Wow is just around the corner! Pow Wow is one of our lodge’s largest and most attended events each year. Taking place on September 16th-18th this year you won’t want to miss it!

Pow Wow is a unique event for our lodge, focused on fellowship, fun and brotherhood! You could compare it to a camporee, each chapter will participate in games, activities and trainings competing to take home the coveted Black Bear!

On Saturday morning we’ll have training cells, an opportunity to learn and earn points for your chapter. In the afternoon we’ll have games, some past examples are: Tug of War, Ultimate Frisbee, Wischixin, Waguli Stick, A Plunger Relay and more. All games are played Tournament Style with each chapter competing for third, second and first place!

One of the most important aspects of Pow Wow is Lodge Officer Elections. If you’re looking to run for a position, or would like to have a say in your 2023 Lodge Officers, you’ll have to attend. Elections will be taking place Sunday morning after breakfast and a short Scouts Own.

You may not know this, but if you went through your Ordeal at Spring Fellowship, you’re eligible for Brotherhood at Pow Wow! If you’re interested in converting to Brotherhood membership all you have to do is check a box when you sign up that says, “Converting to Brotherhood.” Your OA Handbook lists the requirements. Make sure you get those done before Pow Wow and you’re all set.

Register before Friday September 9th to avoid the late fee and remember that registration closes on Tuesday September 13th!

IMPORTANT: If you are unable to attend Pow Wow but would like to remain active in the lodge you will have to pay your dues for 2023 on the Mowogo Website. Lodge dues are included in the cost of Pow Wow every year, so this is an important step for all who cannot attend.
If you are not attending Pow Wow, you can pay your dues here: Pay Dues & Transfers

I hope to see you there,
