Come on
Ya’ll and Join the Wild West at Section Conclave 2008
What are factors that inspire you to do something? Is it because you
can meet new people with the same interests as you? Maybe it is
because you can have an outrageous amount of fun? How about
learning valuable information that you can use to better yourself
and others? What about meeting a high ranking officer in a national
organization? Would it entice you if you could go back into a dream
of your 5-year-old self again? What if I told you that you could
accomplish all of these at the Section C-2C conclave, April 18-20 at
Camp Kikthawenund? Would you go this something?
At conclave you can:
·
Meet new Arrowmen from across Indiana
·
Participate in Lodgeball (lodge v. lodge dodge ball), ultimate
Frisbee, card tournaments, riverboat games, and a patch auction
·
Attend trainings from experienced trainers and learn valuable
information to help yourself and your lodge.
·
Meet the Central Region Chief, Tyler Elliot
·
Do all of this with a “Wild, Wild, West” theme. Harness you inner
Cowboy and come dressed up!!

Chiefly
Speaking
It is my honor to be serving as Takachsin Lodge Chief for a second
term. There is a lot going on this year including the 35th
Anniversary of the lodge. WE are in the process of coming up with
an anniversary lodge flap for this year. Some other things going on
this year is Section Conclave at Camp Kithawenund in Frankton, IN.
There are also the two Ordeals and the Fall Fellowship. I am
excited about this year and hope to see everyone at the event. |
Francis
Lee – James E. West Fellow
This past year we lost our fellow Arrowman, Francis Lee. Francis was a
former lodge adviser who you could see at
many lodge events through out the year giving cheerful service, encouraging young men to enjoy Scouting, and
most of all smiling.
We seek to honor the memory of our dedicated brother by raising
funds to name Francis a James E. West Fellow.
A West Fellowship is awarded by donating $1000 to a council’s
endowment fund. The endowment fund, which Takachsin Lodge shares
with Sagamore Council, is a gift that keeps on giving as the initial
monies return a
sizeable interest that is used for all types of Scouting programs.
The Lodge has a share in this endowment
which allows us to use monies for training our youth and adult
leaders on a lodge, region, and national level.
Any level of giving towards this West Fellowship to honor our
brother, Francis Less is greatly appreciated. Please use the form on
the back to do so. Thank you for your generosity.
Winter
Banquet Recap
This year’s Winter Banquet was held at Cary Camp in their new dining
hall. We had 30 adults and 19 youths attend the banquet. Our guest
speaker this year was Bob Bishop who gave us a talk about Native
American dancing. We honored our new members, Brotherhood members,
and Vigil Honor members. The recipient of the Key Three Award this
year was Matthew Spalding.
