On the weekend of October 15-17 the Lodge will be sending a contingent to Section C-3B's section conclave at Camp Illinek in Springfield, Illinois.

On October 16th Mississippi Valley Council will be having a merit badge make-up day for any incomplete merit badges from summer camp. The event will run from 9 am to 12 pm. The council is looking for Adults who are already merit badge councilors and Adults who would like to become merit badge councilors to help with this event. As the Order of the Arrow we should do our part to help promote this event. See here for more information.

If you will not be attending Section Conclave make your way out to the councils local camp and give back to SSR and Mississippi Valley Council by providing service for the Spook-o-ree on October 16th at SSR. This event will run from 1 pm to 7 pm. It has been asked for Arrowmen to arrive in the morning to help with decorations. During the event, the Lodge will run a time for branding, assist with food preparation and distribution, and anything else that help may be needed with.

This is a great month to rank up the service hours. I hope to see a great turn out for these events. If you are interested in helping out with any of these day please fill out this form. It is better to have an estimate of the help prior to the event. Many Hands make light work.
