In just over two weeks, 400 Arrowmen from across the section will descend on Powerland Heritage Park for the first-ever conclave as Section G16.

This year's conclave is bound to be an unforgettable one. The Council of Chiefs has been very busy the past few months to plan one of the best conclave programs ever. From the fun activities and training sessions to the conclave-wide game and evening shows, this conclave is one you will not want to miss.

Registration is REQUIRED to attend. We will not be accepting walk-ins this year, so make sure you register online by September 7th. You can either pay online or pay at the door.

The cost to attend this amazing weekend is $50 and includes an event patch, four meals, and all the amazing program opportunities. New Arrowmen, those who went through their induction since September 2021, will receive a $5 discount on their registration and get access to special events during the event.
