Welcome to our Lodge

Summer Camp

Each year Migisi Opawgan lodge selects arrowmen to serve as camp chiefs at Cole Canoe Base and D-bar-A Scout Ranch. This year's chiefs were Jake Eccleston and Josh Eggen. Both did a bang up job of promoting the Order of the Arrow, conducting elections, and holding ceremonies. In addition to that, they are often called upon from some additional duties as pictured at left. Our thanks to Jake and Josh for a job well done.

October NLS at D-bar-A Scout Ranch in 37 days

The National Leadership Seminar is widely considered one of the best, most informative, and most fun training sessions one can attend. This October, we're going to have one at D-bar-A Scout Ranch. Not only will this one be right in our backyard, but at $140 for youth and $160 for adults, the costs are considerably reduced as well.
It's a great experience at a great price and one you should definitely be putting on your calendar for the fall.

Fall Ordeal

Brothers,

As the Summer comes to a close, the Fall Ordeal is approaching quickly. To meet our Quality Lodge Requirement we still have a ways to go for Positive Membership Growth. Also, due to the Council Rendez-Vous, the event is earlier this year, taking place from September 17-19. There are many projects that the Lodge is working on, so come on out to D-bar-A to help us to complete them. Also, it is a tent event and be sure to register early, get your forms from www.migisi.org or the upcoming Eagle Pipe. See you there!

Yours in Brotherhood,

Tim Leong
