Come join us for a weekend of service and fellowship June 9-10th at Camp Henderson! All Lodge members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Participants will arrive Friday night (preferred) or Saturday morning and work around camp during the day Saturday. The event will cost $10 for all current Brotherhood and Vigil members and $30 for new Brotherhood candidates (those currently Ordeal and going through the ceremony) to cover food and other expenses of membership. Preregistration will guarantee the lowest price for attending this event, and can be found below.
Brotherhood Candidates (current Ordeal members who will be attending) should review the OA’s Jumpstart website, especially the section on the “challeneges” to be faced during the ceremony. Don’t worry, they are all self-reflection items and designed to be individual tasks. Visit Jumpstart at http://jumpstart.oa-bsa.org, and consult your OA handbook or Lodge Executive Committee for the password!
We hope to see you there!
