SWAPA Jamboree OA Service Corps Volunteers Needed!!!

Good Day, Brothers!

My name is Tommy Phillips and I am the OA Service Corps lead for the Swapa Jamboree. Swapa is a massive Jamboree-type event held by both the Sweetwater and Apalachee Districts every year. Imagine a fun-filled event similar to a free range Thursday at CRM! This event will serve hundreds of youth throughout the council.

The OA Service Corps of the Jamboree will serve as a way to represent the OA and the Cheerful Service that we embody. We will perform various tasks such as Check-ins, Working the OA Trading post, and providing manpower and service to various program areas that need it. Staffing the Service Corps is a great way to experience the various sides of Swapa all while representing the Order of the Arrow. As a result, we could use plenty of volunteers to help us serve such an awesome sauce event! One important thing is that we need OA staff from all over to help us at the event. We already have staff throughout the Japeechen, Lau-in-nih and Canantutlaga chapters and we encourage staffers from even more chapters to help us out!

Swapa Jamboree will be held on September 22-24 at Camp Rainey Mountain. Staffing the event has a 40-dollar fee that provides you with patches, shirts, and food. Staff applications can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeP7nolxjckJL0hdP6T5KfxNI4saKrnHgoR6cSWMVDgSInlsg/viewform and registration can be found here: https://www.nega-bsa.org/admin2/login.

I heavily recommend you all try out this event to represent the best lodge to new units and scouts that might not be too familiar with the OA and the awesome experiences that come from it. I also want to remind you all that serving will be a great way to demonstrate the Order's values of Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service. I look forward to seeing you guys there!
