Summer Induction Weekend

"Great Scott...this is excellent!"

Blast into the future with Erielhonan Lodge's Summer Induction Weekend at Beaumont Scout Reservation. Join us from August 23-25 for a weekend full of meaningful service and futuristic program. This will be the final Ordeal opportunity in 2019, so you don’t want to miss it! Of course, there will be a showing of Back to the Future Part II as well as other futuristic themed activities. Some other items to note:

First 150 persons to register will receive the second patch of the three-part Back To the Future set.

Set your clocks for August 23 and travel through time for this extraordinary event!
If you have any questions or would like to assist in running the event, email program@erielhonan.org.

NOAC 2020 is only 13 months away! If you've never been to a NOAC before—or can't wait to attend another one—mark your calendars. We are excited to return to Michigan State University on August 3-8, 2020.

NOAC is the biennial National Order of the Arrow Conference. Think of it like a national jamboree for Arrowmen. There are hundreds of activities, including outdoor adventures, Native American activities, major arena shows, and opportunities to improve your leadership skills while learning more about our Order.

You'll stay with friends in a college dorm, experience campus dining halls, and enjoy Scouting fellowship with thousands of other Arrowmen from around the country, including regional and national officers.

Registration and deposits will start this summer, so watch this space for more news in the coming month.

Summer Camp Inductions

If you or a Scout in your troop is not able to attend our August Summer Induction Weekend to complete his/her Ordeal, then check out the schedule of summer camp Ordeals. They are offered every week of camp and open to both those attending summer camp as well as those who are not.

We are also looking for Elangomats to serve each summer camp Ordeal. If you are interested and/or able to serve, email membership@erielhonan.org!

Finally, all Arrowmen are encouraged to attend the Ordeal ceremonies throughout summer camp. Gather at Augustus by 12:30pm on Fridays for the 12:45 ceremony.

Summer Camp Ordeals

Section C-4 is hosting a summer time contest! Be the youth Arrowman in the section to design our new logo. Visit http://bit.ly/2Ns5rdd to learn more, and submit your design!

Members who haven't paid their 2019 dues are urged to do so immediately. Dues should have been paid by December 31, 2018, to remain in good standing with our Order (and be permitted to wear the lodge flap). As a reminder, members who joined in 2018 were dues-paid only through December 31 and must pay 2019 dues to stay current.

Pay Your Dues Today!

The requirements for the Active Arrowman Award have been updated for this year and are now available on our lodge website—check them out and make plans to earn the award this year!
