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.

First, I would like to thanks each and everyone of you that came out and supported our Native American Tradition by drumming with us at our events throughout the year. The Native American Activities committee traveled all around the council to drum at multiple Blue and Gold ceremonies as well as competitions at Conclave, where we took home first place and a new napkin for our drum.We are all looking forward to another great season next year and drumming in the Fall Ordeal.
Anybody that is interested in drumming or learning more about Native American culture, our next meeting will be September 5th at the Scout Office, starting at 7:00 PM. From me and the rest of the NAA Committee we wish you all a safe and happy summer and hope to see you next year.
