Chapter Meetings and Lodge Activities for 2017:

  • October 12 - TBD
  • November 9 - Styrofoam Airplanes
  • December 14 - Holiday Party

From Our Chapter Chief

Every month we have a meeting at the LDS Church in Naperville on the second Thursday at 7:30 pm (at the same time and place as District Round Table). This is the primary method of communicating information from the Lodge to the individual members. We always have something fun going on at the meeting-this month is Styrofoam plate airplanes. All current OA members and Elected Ordeal Candidates are encouraged to attend.

The Lodge has recently agreed to pay over $50,000 to fund the building of a new archery facility at Camp Freeland Leslie. It has already been finished and from what I've heard, it looks awesome! The lodge needs your help to pay off the $50,000+. The archery facility will contain brick pavers in front of the concrete pad. You, Your Troop, Your Family...Anyone can buy a brick and leave your legacy at Camp Freeland Leslie. To order a brick, go to https://www.bricksrus.com/order/threefires/ .

All OA members are required to pay annual dues of $20. If you have not done so, please pay your dues at https://scoutingevent.com/?2016Dues . Every penny of the $20 goes straight to the OA to provide all of the awesome experiences throughout the year for our members.

As always, feel free to contact Mr. Hedborn or I with any questions,
