Adviser’s Corner September 2012

For the 1,000 of you that missed NOAC wait till you here the stories and about all the actives there were to do. It’s not too early for you to start planning to attend the 100 year Celebration of the OA in 2015. Our contingent represented our Lodge, Council, and Region very well.
Looking ahead, we will be going to Latimer for Fall Fellowship; Josh Fowler is wrapping up the final details as this edition is going out. There will be a lot of firsts taking place while we are there, are you going to be part of the Legacy, or will you be going, “Wow! I really missed out.” Sign up early as the provided tents will fill up fast and you may need to bring your own. Where else can you go to share in brotherhood, Mountain Bicycling, shooting, kayaking, rappelling, and more? This will also be your chance to seal your membership

Adviser's Corner - Don Miller

I would like to thank everyone for the support you have shown since I’ve become Lodge Adviser. I hope this support will carry through the year ahead us. Each brother has their own unique mark to add to the Lodge’s advancement.

We all are presented with new challenges constantly and so goes the Lodge. We are adjusting the Journey to Excellence in every aspect of our Scouting lives. This carries over at the Lodge and Chapter levels also. The replacement forms for the Chapter Achievement Program (CAP) will be out soon. These new CAP forms will require some adjustments in how we do and account for our activities. We are developing a system to better account for service hours provided by the Lodge. In the past countless hours have been unaccounted for which should have been acknowledged. These activities service not only Scouting in general but also our everyday lives.

Your officers and chairman are hard at work to insure the many activities we have this year are fun. Lodge Vice Chief of Training Logan Notestine successfully headed the first major lodge event at Latimer High Adventure Reservation. We even held the first OA ceremony at Latimer with the first Brotherhood ceremony of 2012. We are heading back to Latimer on September 14-16 for the 2012 Fall Fellowship. These two events are just the first of many exciting adventures for our Lodge at Latimer.

Section SR-6 will be holding conclave at Skymont Scout Reservation on April 20-22 2012. This being the Section’s main event for the year, we need your help. There is still time to get registered!

The Lodge is always in need of youth and adults who want to have a good time and work hard in the name of cheerful service. What part will you play?
