We are excited to announce that our first Kunamokst Winter Fellowship will be held at Camp Baker, Feb 20-22. The theme will be “Hand in Hand”, which means meeting lots of new people, and making memories with friends. Mark this on your calendars because this is an event you will not want to miss. For more information on Winter Fellowship, visit our website.

2026 dues are now available to be paid; they are $25 and they allow you to wear the Kunamokst flap patch, attend lodge events, buy member only gear, and receive communications on what is happening in the lodge. The other option for paying your dues is using the Antler Pass. It is $175 and includes: Annual Member Dues, all fees for all Fellowships, and all fees for all Inductions. This is a very good deal for active members of the lodge because it can save them $40. For more information on dues and the Antler pass go to our website. All dues will be paid through the OA Member Portal.

Attention ALL Arrowmen! All members of the lodge regardless of membership level may nominate those eligible for Vigil Honor consideration. There is an online form to fill out on our Lodge Website.

The best way to get involved in our lodge is to attend events. To see all events for the upcoming year visit the calendar. You can also join a committee to have a larger role in the lodge. To see our full list of committees and contacts for each visit our website. Good involvement from many lodge members is key to a great lodge. We suggest that every arrowman takes an active role in the lodge, so we can have a great lodge far into the future.

National Leadership Seminar is a weekend course that trains new leaders in the OA. We strongly encourage the newer leaders in the lodge and in our chapters to consider attending. Our lodge will be sending a group of youth and adult leaders to NLS in Eatonville Washington (not very far away) from March 27th - March 29th. Normally, it would cost $275 to attend, but our lodge’s leadership scholarship makes it cost $50 for youth and $100 for adults. For more information visit this website. If you are interested in attending please contact [email protected].

National Order of the Arrow Conference is the OA’s largest event bringing together 8,000 arrowmen together from all over the country. The next NOAC will be held July 26-31, 2027 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Our lodge is sending a contingent, and it is estimated to cost $900 for youth and $1300 for adults. There is more information about ways to attend, the itinerary, and fees on the website. If you are interested in going to NOAC fill out this form.

Our lodge advisor, Joe Raade, is excited for this new year as a unified lodge. He is confident in the group of youth leaders and adult advisors we have for this year. He hopes that every arrowman will finish this year off strong by upholding the values of the Order of the Arrow and scouting in general.
