Brothers,
As we continue through the year, let’s take a moment to reflect on the work we have done for others and the progress that we’ve made as individuals. The work that we do with the Lodge helps others but it also helps us in our own development as individuals, and that could sometimes be hard to remember while providing service.

This year Lowwapaneu Lodge sent 9 youth delegates to the first ever NE-5 Conclave hosted at Forrestburg Scout Reservation by Na Tsi Hi Lodge 71. The weekend was filled with tons of shows, trainings, activities, competitions, and fellowship.
The weekend started out with a nice show and a cracker barrel. The food at this conclave was great. According to Bobby Hricko, the food was “Best food on this side of the NY border.” With the end of the night approaching near, the contingent went to sleep preparing for the day ahead.

Congratulations on your induction into the Order of the Arrow, and welcome to Lowwapaneu Lodge! As a Scout, you impressed upon the members of your unit your sincerity of purpose to live in accordance with the high ideals of Scouting. The judgment of your fellow Scouts can hardly have been mistaken!

The role that the OA plays in our summer camps is an extremely important one. The service that our Lodge provides helps not only the council but also the scouts who participate in program. Through the work we do for them we create sites and new areas. From projects as small as simple maintenance to projects as big as the Outdoor Learning Area at Goose Pond, the Lodge and it’s members are able to help our council put on high quality program for all the scouts who participate in events there.
Let’s also remember the recognition that we gain back from the work we do for these camps. The rededication and call out ceremonies that we participate in help us to not just remind ourselves of the role that we play but also the reason that we joined the Order of the Arrow in the first place. Service is one of the guiding principles of our order and it helps us to guide others along the right path through example . The work we do causes a positive impact on those that we interact with and do service for.
All around us opportunities to provide service present themselves, and the opportunities at Goose Pond and other Scout Camps are fantastic chances to show the scouts who elected us into this Order just what the Lodge can do for them.

Many of us have precious memories of the growth we’ve experienced through the lodge. For many of us, the fondest of our memories are the ones we made when sealing our Bonds of Brotherhood. The experiences that we gain in these moments will stick with us for the rest of our lives. The lessons we learn will guide us throughout our scouting careers and throughout our time in other places.

Let’s take a moment to remember who it was that called us to the service that we perform today. We were chosen through elections by nonmembers in an election that was directed by members of our lodge. While we may not realize it, the role that these elections play in our lodge is paramount.
