Temporary Camping Night Policy
In light of the extended period of camping restrictions attributable to COVID-19, modifications have been made to the Order of the Arrow camping requirements for membership eligibility.
Through September 1, virtual camping may be counted when certain conditions are met. To be counted, all virtual camping nights should be a direct result of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and be part of a BSA unit-organized unit camping event (i.e., multiple members of the unit are involved and camping simultaneously at remote locations). More details are available on the OA website, https://oa-bsa.org/.
Virtual unit membership elections have been approved through July 1. If you have not already done so, contact Ajapeau Lodge to schedule one for your unit. On Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/5540455027/.
OA Event News
The 2020 National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC), which was to be held at Michigan State University, has been cancelled.
A NEW EVENT, called Momentum, is being planned to be held online and at the Summit Bechtel Reserve August 3-8, 2020. Momentum will have limited space, and will be a contingent-only event. Cost is $545 per participant. The virtual event will be free. Due to the fluid nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no guarantee that the Momentum event will not also be cancelled. However, due to the decreased size of this event and the physical layout of the Summit Bechtel Reserve compared to Michigan State University, there is hope. A final decision on if this event will occur will be made no later than June 17. Watch for details at https://oa-bsa.org/.
Our own NE-3B AREA CONCLAVE is (currently) scheduled for August 14-16 at Henderson Scout Reservation in Maryland, NY. Conclave is the premier Area OA event where Arrowmen gather for an unforgettable experience packed with adventure, fellowship, food and dynamic training from the experts. Registration is now open at http://www.ne3b.org/.
