The Grand Monadnock Lodge #309 would like to extend an invitation to the 2012 Camp Wanocksett Kick Off Dinner to Order of the Arrow Troop Representatives.
The Order of the Arrow Troop Representative is the liaison between the lodge and your troop. He helps coordinate the annual troop election, promotes the Order and its events to troop members who are members of the lodge, and helps explain what the order is to those who may not know. This position is a recognized leadership position for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks.
At the 2012 Camp Wanocksett kick-off dinner, the OA Executive Board will be hosting a roundtable discussion with OA Troop Reps and Senior Patrol Leaders about the Camp Wanocksett Experience, and ways in which the OA can help your troop. Your OA Troop Representative can attend the kick-off meal and program free of charge courtesy of the lodge.
Scoutmasters - Please register for the dinner at http://Events.NashuaValleyBSA.org/ by Saturday, February 11, 2012. Use promo code OAREP at check out to receive a discount for the OA Rep.
OA Reps - Contact your Scoutmaster and make sure he registers you and your unit for the dinner.
The lodge vice chief for your district will also be on hand at the kick-off dinner to talk to you about scheduling your annual unit election. Bring your troop calendar with you.
With the new year upon us, it is time once again to start thinking about an OA election for your unit. GML's election season takes place from January 1 through May 31 of each year.
Your troop's OA Representative should work with the PLC to find dates for an election, and submit a request to the Lodge Elections team. The spring is a busy time for the team, so be sure to request one early!
This summer, Order of the Arrow members from around the country will once again gather together at the National Order of the Arrow Conference ("NOAC"). Over 7,000 Arrowmen will come together to have fun, learn new things, and celebrate the best the OA has to offer. This six-day adventure is unlike any other event in Scouting, and only OA members can participate.
INFORMATION MEETING TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15 AT THE COUNCIL SERVICE CENTER.
Are you a member of The Grand Monadnock Lodge #309 and active in your troop? GML309 is looking for active members to serve as OA Troop Representatives for Nashua Valley Troops. The commitment is simple, and qualifies as a leadership position for Star, Life, and Eagle.
