Chiefly Speaking – August 2024

Hello Arrowmen,
 
I hope you are having an amazing summer. As summer begins to wind down and we transition back into school, I want to remind you all of the best way to end the summer… attending conclave!
 
This year, conclave will be held at Camp Baker, hosted by Tsisqan Lodge. We will have access to all the amazing facilities Baker has to offer, like the shooting range and climbing tower. There be a lot activities brought in like inflatables, cowboy action shooting, and so much more! As Arrowmen, it is vital that we take things we learn here back to our units. To help us all learn something, we have trainings on Scouting, the OA, and real-world skills and hobbies.
 
We will be taking part in fellowship as well. As we all know, brotherhood is one of the core principles of the Order of the Arrow. At conclave, you will get to experience this first hand by meeting people from outside your lodge and even some out of section guests. I know for me conclaves are where I meet most of the people I know from outside my lodge and I keep in contact with them to this day. Come take part in Brotherhood and forge new relationships at conclave!
 
In summary, conclave is an event where you can engage is awesome activities, world class trainings, and experience fellowship on a level only a few events can provide. I hope to see you at conclave and enjoy the rest of summer!
