You would have also been able to attend the Order of the Arrow’s event that was so great that it even had a set of huge water slides guarding the exit. The event was know as the Mysterium Compass. It was a crash course in moral choices. The whole event was one big moral battle. Do you let life get to you? Do you just let everything fall apart? No, we as scouts carry on and live life. We help others and in doing so better ourselves. As the Senior Patrol Leader for troop One 805, This was a very helpful experience. It allowed me to see things that might hold me back during the rest of my tour as SPL. There is another thing that should be brought up about this event. Several of our lodge’s members helped set up and run the event. Mike Haskins and Jake Lane both staffed the Mysterium Compass. If you see either of those people, ask them about it. They can tell you more than I could. The Dancing Bear: Ahoalan �achpikin, Lodge 558 Page 1 �The final report from the 2010 conclave is finally here! This year, our lodge packed up and took a bus to camp Boxwell near Lebanon, TN. We went as a mob of maple syrup chugging Canadians and absolutely showed everyone what spirit looks like. We charged into each event with vigor and we thought we were a shoe-in for this year’s spirit award. If you are new to our lodge or haven’t been told about a conclave, our lodge was a habit of winning the coveted spirit award. For the last two, years we won by a landslide. This year however, there was no spirit award. Do not fret though, even without the award, we had one of the best times someone could have outdoors. If you’ve been to a conclave, I’m willing to bet I’ll see you at the next one. If not, ask one of the LEC members on the last page. They can tell you how amazing it is. I hope to see you at Conclave 2011. Stay posted for updates and next year’s theme. Our lodge started a tradition of summer fellowships during summer camp recently. This year OK’s Jake Dover led the charge to prepare the event. It was filled with fun, music, and food. While there, members of the OA also provided a willing hand in preparations for the closing campfire. The atmosphere was perfect for cheerful service and kindred values. If you see Jake Dover in the next few weeks, give him a pat on the back for an amazing job during the summer. The Dancing Bear: Ahoalan �achpikin, Lodge 558 Page 2 �Well, it’s that time of the year again. This September 10, 11, and 12, is the 2010 fall ordeal. That means we need strong willed individuals to volunteer as Elangomats. If you have not had the honor of serving is such a position, I recommend that you contact the new lodge chief, Johnny Tracey, for instructions on how to volunteer and carry out this sacred duty. When you first went through the ordeal, you might not have had your full wits about you. This duty offers another view of how to serve cheerfully and with all you can offer. Look on the next page for the sign-up sheet for ordeal, and on page five for Johnny Tracy's contact information For you who are new OA members, there may still be a bad taste in your mouth from Ordeal. Before you decide that there is no fun in the Order of the Arrow, attend this year’s fall fellowship. This year we will have sea kayaking, skeet shooting, currier hikes, Native American demonstrations, water activities, chapter competitions, a huge capture the flag game, and many other events. I can guarantee that this event will be one you remember for “many moons” afterward. It will be at camp Currier October 1-3. It will cost $15 per person, or $30 for Brotherhood candidates.

I am excited and looking forward to working with and for each and every member of our lodge so that we might continue our successes, improve our shortcomings, and implement new ideas. In terms of the Lodge year, we still have half of the year left! Don’t miss out on the fun…come to the events! From September 10-12, the Lodge will host the Fall Ordeal at Camp Currier. We need good Arrowmen to be Elangomats, to lead the clans of candidates, and to help with a host of other tasks. Fall Fellowship will follow soon after, October 1-3, also at Camp Currier. Fall Fellowship will offer some exciting program and training opportunities that have not been available in the past (plus we’ll have great food!). Both of these events are also opportunities to pursue Brotherhood membership. At Scout base, the Lodge will form its second Service Corps, a group of Arrowmen who will assist with traffic control, program and support needs, and with shows. This is an exciting opportunity for any Arrowman and it is an honor to be selected. You can apply now by contacting your Chapter Chief. I want to thank everyone who has been involved in making this year a success thus far and, further, wish to invite everyone to take on an active role in the Order of the Arrow or in Scouting.
