Spring Pow-Wow is our first event of the year and consists of ceremony and AIA practicing for Conclave. As well as our Brotherhood Trail for everyone who is eligible. Kick off the year with a fun event filled with Brotherhood.
April 21-23, 2017
The section conclave is an annual activity (prior to 1972 known as an Area OA Conference) involving three or more lodges in an established geographic area. Each conclave is led by section youth officers elected from among the member lodges at the previous year’s conclave, and the event itself is prepared in cooperation with various other lodge officers, and with one lodge serving as the “host lodge”.The SR-7B Conclave is a gathering of over 1000 Arrowmen that occurs once a year in April at a Boy Scout Camp in our Section. In short, it’s a great weekend of fun, training, and fellowship!
Because Conclave is a section event, there is separate registration from our lodge events.
May 19-21, 2017
