Marmot’s Whistle

Section G-15 Conclave!This year's Conclave will be held at our very own Camp Parsons. The theme is "Lodge Olympics: Ignite the Flame." Come join us for food, fun fellowship, and an opportunity to jump off the Camp Parsons Pier!

Registration closes September 13th, so register soon at https://tkopekwiskwis.org/events/conclave/

With the new Lodge year in full swing now, it's a good time to remind your fellow Arrowmen to pay their dues. Renewing your dues ensures you are kept up to date on lodge information, and are part of T'kope Kwiskwis lodge.

Lodge Dues are only $15. Or you can pick up the Silver Marmot Annual Pass which includes 2022-23 dues and the cost of attending all lodge events (three Induction Weekends, Spring Fellowship, Fall Rally, Winter Fellowship, and the Lodge Banquet.)

You can find more information at https://tkopekwiskwis.org/membership/dues/

NOAC Recap

Hey y’all!

We had a wonderful time at NOAC this summer at UT Knoxville! We spent a week trading patches, learning new skills, and influencing the future of our Order. The shows were fantastic, and every single member of the contingent came back from the event with smiling faces and full suitcases! While I could go on and on about our experience, I figure the thousand-words-a-photo deal would save me a considerable amount of time.

See you all in 2024!

Yours In Scouting,
 Zack Shoemaker
 NOAC 2022 Contingent Leader

Chapter Attendance

Attendance should be taken at all Chapter meetings and events (service projects, district event staffing, etc.). The attendance should then be recorded in Lodgemaster so we can track arrowman activation. Typically, the Chapter Secretary would do this. If you oversee reporting attendance and don’t have access to Lodgemaster or do not know how to create an event in Lodgemaster and add attending arrowmen, please contact Noah Cierebiej, Helen Young, or John Riekena. We will be creating and posting a guide on how to do this in the near future.

Lodgemaster Email

Emails submitted in Lodgemaster will be sent out within 24 hours (if no issues are found). Less than 24 hours can not be guaranteed, so plan accordingly. Please start the Subject Line of your email with OA: so it is clear that your email is of interest to arrowmen.

Lodge Adviser Availability

The Lodge Adviser will try and return phone calls, emails, texts, etc. within 48 hours. The Lodge Adviser does not always have the ability to get back to you immediately, especially during work hours (weekdays 7:00am to 4:00pm). Do not expect any responses during the 4 hours before meetings or events. Please do not expect any responses during the 4 hours before meetings or events. Plan Ahead!
