5 Members of the troop got to head out to Seven Ranges Scout Reservation to see the new Order of the Arrow - Scouting America Induction Experience that is part of the future of the organization this past weekend. A lot of things changed, a lot stayed the same. Overall its excellent to see what the youth have put together.

Want to know more, come out to Erielhonan Lodge’s Lodge Induction Experience in October Beaumont Scout Reservation with Lake Erie Council.
