Fall Fellowship

There’s been a seemingly apocalyptic anomaly at Boxwell. This mysterious transmission is telling me that Operation: Fall Fellowship will take place from 9/20 – 9/22. Register now to enlist in the response team and help SAVE BOXWELL FROM [REDACTED]. New members inducted into the OA in 2024 get 20$ off the registration price! Early registration and the chance to save $5 ends on Sunday, 8/25. Register now at wa-hi-nasa.org/events/fall-fellowship!

Sea Scout Flap

In order to create a lodge flap that would fit the shape of the Sea Scout uniform pocket, the lodge has decided to create a single standard lodge flap for this purpose. These lodge flaps will be sold exclusively via a pre-order which will be open through the end of Fall Fellowship. They will be $6.00 each, and following the event, an order will be made, and the flaps should be available for pickup at Winter Banquet. Register for Fall Fellowship above to come out and pre-order your Sea Scout flaps!

OA High Adventure

Imagine hiking through some of the same territories as Waite Phillips, Dr. Goodman and other noteworthy Scouting figures. Imagine forming a team, coming into an experience as strangers, but leaving as friends for a lifetime. Few people get to experience the world’s natural beauty and understand what true fellowship is all about. Next summer, the Order of the Arrow invites you to this rare occasion and to participate in the OA High Adventure program.

Visit https://oa-bsa.org/high-adventure for more information regarding all of the OAHA opportunities available for lodge members.

The Calvin Hughes Campership is available to youth lodge members from Wa-Hi-Nasa who require financial assistance to attend national OA events. Request by reaching out to lodgeadviser@wa-hi-nasa.org.
