2) Order of the Arrow election season is underway. Units have until the end of October to schedule a visit or election. Please contact the chapter through your unit representative or Heather Spencer (hspencer112@gmail.com). If your unit doesn’t want an election or visit this year, please let Ms. Spencer know so we will not continue to contact you.
3) Camporee will be at the beautiful Green Dickson Scout Camp in Gonzales on April 19-21, 2024. Please join the rest of North Shore for a trip to the Renaissance in the To Be or Not to Be Camporee 2024. Our Order of the Arrow Chapter has been busy preparing an amazing experience including a troop camp-wide challenge, plus every unit participating will be responsible for a 15 minute activity during the rotation times. We will have a campfire and need your participation, so start thinking of entertaining skits, songs, stunts, and stories that might involve the theme. They will have awards for campsites, camp entrances, dinner contest (youth and adult), dessert contest (youth and adult), campfire entry, and the annual Top Troop award. Please see the Camporee Guidebook when it is published on the registration website. Registration will open soon. Unit leaders will receive a notice with the link when registration is live.
