Andrew Coe

The 2023 Section E11 Conclave registration is now open!  The conclave will be held June 2 – 4, 2023 at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation in Schuykill Haven, PA, hosted by Kittatinny Lodge 5.

Conclave is a yearly celebration of learning and sharing with each lodge in section E11, but there are unique trainings and activities culminating in amazing shows and a section officer election.

The theme of this year’s conclave is “An Inner Planetary Ordeal”, so be on the lookout for lots of space-themed activities, including:

  • Astronaut rescue drop
  • Capsule Emergency Exit
  • Bottle rockets
  • Planetarium
  • LVAAS
  • Photo Booth
  • Talk by an actual NASA shuttle astronaut

For more information on the conclave, head to the conclave website here.

We’re hoping to take a huge contingent, so don’t miss out!  Registration ends 5/20!

Note: There is special pricing for youth – only $25.  For adults, the cost is $43.  An option to purchase a conclave t-shirt is included in the registration.

The LLD is a course for helping develop our youth leaders and adult advisers into more effective Arrowmen by providing them with fun, informative, and interactive sessions about OA operations and skills used to run the lodge. All LLT committee members and officers are highly encouraged to attend, but it is open to any Octoraro members!

The Brotherhood Blitz is a last opportunity to seal your membership in the lodge for 2022.

Both events are being held at Camp Horseshoe on December 10, 2022.
