Want to help the Lodge’s ArrowCorps5 Contingent?
If you answer yes to this question, then you want to be an Egwa Fellow.

What is the Egwa Fellow program? It is your way to help off set the high cost of our Lodge members attending OA events who normally could not afford to participate. During the summer of 2008, 5,000 Arrowmen are participating in a National service project at 5 National Forest sites around the country. Our Lodge Contingent has selected Washington and Jefferson National Forest in Virginia. All donations are welcome, but a gift of $100 or more qualifies you to receive a thank you gift; our Lodge’s ArrowCorps5 patch with a red mylar border. This two patch set list all 5 of the National Forests sites and was made by our Licensed BSA supplier with an unique design approved by the National BSA Supply Staff.

Rules for participating in Lodge Events

1) Anyone coming to a Lodge weekend event must pre-register and check in at the registration station set up in the dining area. Any visitors or guests that will be staying for any part of our program must also stop by this registration station. Upon check-in at the registration station, it will be determined if a medical form is needed. If a medical form is not on hand, one will be filled out or at a minimum emergency contact information will be gathered.

2) Any visitors and guests that did not pre-register may not eat meals in the dinning hall. The kitchen team is only prepared to cook for the count we give them from full weekend registrations. Visitors and guests may be restricted from the camp at certain times, such as late hours.

3) Brothers that have registered for the weekend event must also check in and out with their respective Chapter Advisers or their designee. Chapter Advisers can get a list of pre-registered brothers in attendance from the registration station. Brothers or Ordeal Candidates whose Chapter has no adult leadership in attendance at a given event will be assigned to another Chapter for oversight at that event. This assignment will be made at time of check-in with the approval of the “provisional” Chapter Adviser.

4) Brothers that have registered for the full weekend are expected to stay until the published ending time of the event. When individuals need to leave early, they should check out with their Chapter Adviser or their designee. Lodge Officers and Advisers should check out with the Lodge Adviser or his designee. Brothers under the age of eighteen must have written permission to leave camp before the published ending time of the event. This is how we keep track of who is in camp for program purposes and in case of an emergency.

5) The Guide to Safe Scouting rules must be followed at all times. All uniformed adult leadership in camp need to have completed the Youth Protection training. At no time is a Scout under the age of 18, whether they are a licensed driver or passenger, is to leave camp without parental permission granted to the Chapter or Lodge Adviser, other then at the event published ending time.

6) Chapter Advisers are responsible to make sure all their Chapter members have rides and have been picked up from camp at the end of a weekend. If assistance is needed, please contact the Lodge Adviser or his designee. This needs to be done to ensure the safety of our brothers.
