It is time to proudly represent GML309 at the Section NE-1B Conclave. Conclave is a gathering of all of the lodges in the section, to appreciate the brotherhood of the Order. Last year at Camp Norse, we had a solid presence, and a group of proud Arrowmen, and this year we hope to increase our contingent. This conclave will feature trainings in the morning, to better yourself, your troop, and the lodge, while have an multitude of activities in the afternoon.
Let our section know that the homeboys from Wanocksett, can show off there true teamwork, ability, and Scouting spirit. This, as every lodge event, will be a weekend of true Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service.
Sealing your membership by becoming a Brotherhood member is a great way to show your commitment and further your experiences with the Lodge. Moving on to Brotherhood membership offers an opportunity to reaffirm one's belief in the high purposes of the Order. Each Brotherhood member commits to even more service to Scouting through the Order.
An Arrowman is eligible for Brotherhood after 10 months of service as an Ordeal member and fulfilling certain requirements.
The Order of the Arrows Jumpstart program is a great way for Arrow men to view and study their requirements.
In GML309, Ordeal Members have the opportunity to seal their membership as a Brotherhood member at both the Spring & Fall Inductions Weekends. Contact

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.
