Last night, we conducted our first call-out ceremony of 2026, recognizing twenty new Ordeal candidates. We also recognized Lodge photographer Mason Inman as a candidate for the Vigil Honor. Later in the evening, a Brotherhood ceremony was held for seven campers and staff members who took time out of their week at camp to complete Brotherhood counseling. Thank you to all who helped make our first call-out of the year a success, and congratulations to those who were recognized!

Congratulations to Lodge officer Reese R. on being recognized by Section E1 for his service to the OA!

The Golden Arrow of the Month for May is awarded to Reese R.

Reese is a Brotherhood member from Nischa Chuppecat Lodge. He currently serves as Vice Chief of Chapter Relations.

Reese is an exceptional Arrowman whose dedication to service and member engagement has made a lasting impact on the lodge. Through his leadership, he has encouraged greater participation from members in his unit, taken on key responsibilities beyond his lodge position, helped plan and lead major council events, and continually sought opportunities for growth through Section Conclaves, ISLC, and NLS. His commitment, initiative, and positive influence make him an invaluable part of Nischa Chuppecat Lodge.

Thank you Reese for your outstanding commitment and dedication in all that you do!

Another Brotherhood Weekend is in the books! Eighty-three Lodge members braved the storms and showers this weekend to help prepare Maumee for the 2026 Summer Camp season. The morning was primarily spent cleaning several buildings around Camp, including the Dining Hall, Ecology Lodge, Quartermaster, Admin, and OA Basement. Other projects included cleaning the OA Memorial Walk and installing some of the new benches at the OA Circle.

During Saturday evening, members had a chance to participate in our first "Maumee Derby" casino night, with several taking home prizes and all enjoying a grand time! We also welcomed two new Ordeal members and had 27 members return to complete their Brotherhood. Thank you to everyone who helped make this weekend a great success! We look forward to seeing you and your units at Summer Camp!

In just seven days, we will be gathering at Maumee for Brotherhood Weekend, an incredible experience full of great opportunities for meaningful service and Ordeal and Brotherhood completion.
In addition, our Program team has several great activities planned, including the long-awaited return of "Casino Night," full of games and prize-winning potential, all at no additional cost to attending the event! We look forward to seeing you and your unit out at Camp next week!

Brotherhood Weekend is only two weeks away, and its already promising to be a great weekend! Sixteen units from all three of our chapters have already had Brotherhood candidates register. If your unit has Brotherhood candidates and is not on this list, please remind them to sign up! Some of the listed units also have a few remaining candidates that we would love to see out at camp this May. As always, non-candidates are just as welcome, and there will be plenty of fun and fellowship to be had between getting camp ready for the summer and the return of our popular casino night! Be sure to register today, and we'll see you in May!

Calling all arrowmen for Brotherhood Weekend! The Lodge's first weekend event of the year is a little over three weeks away, and we hope to see you there! We'll have a mixture of fun activities (including the return of our popular casino night) and valuable service to help get Maumee ready for Summer Camp. All current Ordeal members are eligible to seal their membership in the OA by taking part in the Brotherhood ceremony offered on Saturday. Additionally, anyone called out last year who did not complete their Ordeal in August may do so at Brotherhood Weekend. So, what are you waiting for? Sign up today!
