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,

Machque Brotherhood Day

Hello Mowogo Lodge,

Machque Brotherhood Day is coming up next weekend January 15th from 1:00pm till 7:00pm. The purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity for Ordeal Members to seal their membership in the Order as Brotherhood Members and of course to fellowship with each other. If you went through your ordeal during either spring fellowship or pre-camp in 2021 (or previously) you are eligible to acquire your Brotherhood membership. If you are already a brotherhood member you are also able to attend this event and ceremony to watch or help out if needed. The event will be located in the Nun building at Woodruff Scout Camp located at 31 Woodruff Dr, Blairsville, GA 30512. The fee for attendance will be $5 (Pay at the Door) to cover dinner. Please register at Mowogo.org. If you have any questions, feel free to call or email me at any time. I can't wait to see you all there.

Yours in Service,
