Elections |
|
|
|
 The
Order of the Arrow is Scouting's
National Honor Society. The Order of
the Arrow elections are a way for
your troop to recognize those scouts
and scouters who best exemplify the
scout oath and law. It is vital that
every troop with eligible scouts
conducts an election. If you have
not scheduled on already, visit the
lodge website and submit a request
form. If you have any questions,
email the Elections Chairman, Chris
Mazeau at
elections@pocumtuc.org.

2011 Pocumtuc Lodge Year-in-Review |
|
Wulalooewagan to our Lodge Chief! |
|
|
|
On
January 18, Mitchell Heisler
attended the Western Mass Council
board meeting and did a presentation
on our Lodge’s
2011 annual report. He
discussed our activities, Ordeals,
service projects, training,
finances, Conclave, scholarship
awards, Banquet, Quality Lodge, and
work with Packs and Troops. Many
board members also recognized
Mitchell as one of the
“over-the-edgers” – especially since
he was wearing his OA sash.
Improved
communication and public relations
are two goals for the LEC in 2012.
The Lodge officers have a
presentation they’ve made at several
Roundtables. It covers the history
of the OA, Pocumtuc Lodge lineage,
who we are, what we do and the
cheerful service we provide. If
your unit or activity is interested
in hearing more about the Lodge,
contact Mitchell at
chief@pocumtuc.org |
