Elangomat Training This Weekend!

Brothers,

I am excited to announce this years Elangomat training dates! Elangomats are the brothers who help to guide new Ordeal candidates through their Ordeal and to Brotherhood. We have had great success in 2021 with large induction weekends, and we need to keep moving forward with that momentum with as many elangomats as possible! We need your help to make this year a success for both our lodge and new candidates, so I encourage everyone to get trained this year. The trainings will last from 9:00 A.M. until 1:30 P.M. unless otherwise stated. The dates are as follows:

01/15/2022 - Woodruff Scout Camp (Machque Brotherhood Day)
02/12/2022 - Scoutland Big House
02/19/2022 - Camp Rainey Mountain Admin Building
03/12/2022 - Camp Rainey Mountain Admin Building
04/09/2022 - Scoutland Admin Building
05/07/2022 - Scoutland Admin Building

Pay special attention to our first elangomat training THIS WEEKEND at Machque Brotherhood Day. Registration is on the Mowogo website, and it is completely free to sign up. As our brothers who have previously Elangomated will tell you, the experience is life changing and helps to remind you of the purpose of our Order. I look forward to seeing you all at one of our Elangomat trainings!

YIS,

Vice Chief of Membership, Mowogo Lodge
