At the Best of Ottawa event, David Tischler and Joe Walker were both informed of their Vigil level membership selection to the Order of the Arrow (Scouting’s honor society). Both were elected to the OA as youth and then earned Brotherhood as adult leaders of 777.  

The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members for service to lodge, council, and Scouting. 

Similar to our recent Ordeal members, they will need to complete an OA Vigil weekend during the October 23rd Fall Fellowship campout at D-bar-A.  

It would be great if all current 777 OA members also attend the fellowship weekend - more info to follow. 

Today we updated 3 campouts that are upcoming with more planned. All materials are on the website.  

Don't forget out Summer Camp sign ups and Jamboree.  The Sailing Adventure is filled but don't miss out on Maine High Adventure as we have some spots still open.  

Cooking / Shooting Campout (3.18 to 3.20) - Western Wayne County Conservation Association - All Scouts welcome 

West Point Shakedown (4.9 to 4.10) - targeted to Scouts attending West Point.  

West Point Camporee (4.21 to 4.24) - Scouts attending West Point Camporee.  Must be 12 years old and/or in 7th grade.  This is a Mid Adventure trip.  

There will be a First Year Scouts skills campout in May planned for Camp Emmanuel on 5.13 to 5.15 for everyone.  More details to come very soon.
