2009 Quality Lodge Quality Lodge recognition is a mark of a successful lodge with good programs, active and trained members, and a strong record of supporting the council and other branches of Scouting. Lodges that are truly successful should look at these requirements as a minimum standard of expectations of your service to the council. As such, use these requirements as a starting point in planning your goals for the year. As a new lodge officer or adviser, you may ask yourself: “Where do I start?” Yes, this list of requirements can seem intimidating at best, but this Guidebook is designed to eliminate that intimidation. As you begin to plan your new lodge yearly program, use it as a resource to establish your lodge goals, and work those goals toward achieving National Quality Lodge. Why strive to be a National Quality Lodge? Because it is expected of you! The National Quality Lodge petition was designed, not only to recognize success, but also to establish the standard for lodges in fulfilling their purpose to their council.

Guide for Officers and Advisors The National Order of the Arrow Committee recently voted to make materials more readily available to lodge leaders. As a result, the Guide for Officers and Advisers is now available online. This book provides support for lodge and chapter leaders. It reflects the current policies concerning the organization and administration of the Order of the Arrow Lodge. All lodge and chapter officers and advisers should have a copy.

Lodge Advisor’s Corner Two days after our Summerfest event, the world will mark the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 and man’s first steps on the moon. On July 20, 1969, most TV sets around the world were turned to a fuzzy black and white picture of Eagle Scout Neal Armstrong stepping off the Eagle lunar landing craft. We still marvel at what they did 40 years ago, a time when the Apollo 11 had less computing power then our $10 pocket calculators has today. It shows, when a group of people working together on a common goal, they can really accomplish anything. Scouting is a lot like that, we see our patrols and crews meeting goals that seem unattainable until everyone works together. See you at the new Summerfest event! Randy
