Elangomat Training Next Weekend (3/9/24)

Hello Mowogo Lodge!

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

The training will last from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. There is no cost for the training, but you will need to register online. Please also bring a water bottle, work gloves, work clothes, a notebook and pen, and a raincoat.

The only remaining date is:

March 9th - Scoutland (Craft Shack)

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.

Here is the link to register - Elangomat Training Registration Link

Mowogo Lodge - Resgister for Conclave!

Brothers,

Our Section's Conclave in Paradise is coming up and the time to sign up is now!

The conclave will be held at Camp Lawhorn Scouting Base in Central Georgia on April 19th-21st for 40 dollars. This is not your usual scouting or OA event, During the annual Conclave, several hundreds of Arrowmen across Georgia and Alabama will come together to partake in shows, games, fellowship, and very insightful training.

At the games, there will be a healthy mix of competitions and a chance to help Mowogo get 1st place in the games as well as the ability to participate in non-competitive and more chill games for your leisure such as a tropical limbo! One unique activity includes the quest where we will help judge the various competitions including the admin and communication, games, and Indian affairs.

For the Conclave shows, there will be amazing Indian Affairs dances and demonstrations and a memorable seaside-themed campfire program! There will also be a special event called Tailypo. The Tailypo festival will have many different carnival-style stands and games to enjoy with your friends. If you are into patches there will also be chances to trade your patch for many cool and rare patches!

Another significant part of Conclave in Paradise is the training! You can learn about Indian affairs drum/dance, the history of the OA, and all about different games and special strategies to get the upper hand. If you would like to focus on personal growth there are special training sessions for you too! Learning about personal skills, how a model lodge/chapter should run, and the ability to meet with people across our section and their unique and tailored tips on how to better yourself as a person.

The current cost of Conclave is 40 dollars but the late fee for Conclave will start very soon on April 1st. Be sure to register for this awesome event and support our Section Chief and Mowogo Brother Jacob Ball at Section E6 Conclave!

I look forward to seeing Mowogo's representation and enthusiasm at Conclave in Paradise!

Yours in Enthusiasm,
