Pocumtuc Lodge

Rock through the Lodge, Howl like the Wolf, Beat upon the drum

Come join us for a fellowship at Moses Scout Reservation. The lodge is holding it's annual fall fellowship November 21-22^nd and we want YOU to come. Why should you come? What separates this camp out from any other camp out? Tons of things.

First off, this fellowship is themed around Music. Oh so your not one of those band geeks or don't know how to rock out on the guitar. No worries, I'm not either but thanks to modern technology we are able to bring to you Rock Band and guitar heroes along with other video games. Besides the music we are hosting Lodge wide Ultimate Frisbee and the competition is going to be intense.

Are you into patches? Collecting or trading? We once again bring to you our Trade-o-ree where you can learn about, look at, purchase, or trade patches from collectors throughout all districts of the lodge. If you plan on bringing a larger collection please bring your own card table to guarantee a place to show off your prized patch collection.

Even after all that is done, THERE IS MORE!! At this fellowship we are opening up the unique opportunity for all to find out how the lodge works. You can learn how to do elections for your troop in order to get more Arrowmen involved, how the ceremonies team performs and all that goes into a ceremonies team, or how to truly represent your Troop in the OA.

This event runs from Saturday morning, 8AM, until Sunday morning. Don't forget to dress warm and be prepared for a musical experience. Register here and I can't wait to see you, only 2 weeks away.

This coming year promises exciting fellowships, meaningful community service, and great outdoor adventure. Once again congratulations to our new Lodge Chief Peter Sauriol, Vice Lodge Chief Nick Axton, Secretary Andrew Parent, and Treasure Nick Maslon.
These officers are set to take over in September but they have been busy getting ready for the new lodge year.  This is a pivotal year for our lodge and these Arrowman are poised to guide Pocumtuc Lodge down the path we need to follow.

NOAC 2009

NOAC has come and gone!  Pocumtuc Lodge sent a contingent of 14 Arrowmen to Bloomington, Indiana for the National Order of the Arrow Conference.  They joined over 7,000 other Arrowmen from around the world for a week of fun and learning.
A typical day saw everyone up bright and early for breakfast and then a morning filled with classes of interest.  Afternoons were geared more toward activities that saw games, displays, and exhibits.  Each night there was a huge show in the Indiana University Arena.  We even had one of our own in the NOAC band!
