Membership Renewal and Arrowpass for 2024

It’s that time of year! Time for Membership Renewal and Arrowpass. The Wa-Hi-Nasa Lodge is putting together many fun events this year and we would love to see you there. Also, if you pay for Arrowpass you do not have to pay dues as it is already covered!

Unit Elections

Unit elections are now open until summer camp! If you are a unit leader make sure to fill out the request form here. If you know a unit leader that has not scheduled an election please make the effort and reach out, share this link https://wa-hi-nasa.org/unit-elections/ .The more unit elections we have the more we get to grow our order!

If you are interested in being a part of your chapters unit election team please reach out to vcchapteroperations@wa-hi-nasa.org with any questions! 

Spring Summit

Spring Summit is our rebranded Spring Shindig, and we hope you will join us to help make this new event amazing! The event will take place at Boxwell Scout Reservation on March 8th-10th. This is our annual fellowship and training event! Join us for good food and trainings that cover all kinds of leadership and OA topics! Trainings will be held in the morning followed by chapter vs. chapter games to win the Wa-Hi-Nasa Belt of Glory! You can register by going to wa-hi-nasa.org/events/spring-summit or clicking here.

National Order of the Arrow Conference

Only a few spots left for NOAC 2024, taking place July 29 to August 3rd, and we would love for you to join our contingent. NOAC is the preeminent Scouting experience, with over 6,000 Arrowmen coming together at the University of Colorado. Come spend a week in Boulder, CO with us as we take training from some of the most experienced arrowmen from around the country, compete in various intramural sports such as ultimate frisbee, flag football, 3 v. 3 basketball, and watch evening shows that would rival a Broadway play.

Conclave

Sledding with a Yeti sounds fun! Or maybe swimming with the Loch Ness Monster? What about backpacking with Big Foot? We may not be able to do these things in reality, but we might be able to get pretty close! Conclave 2024 is all about these mythical creatures! But, we also have so much more!  Come out to Camp McKee in Jeffersonville, Kentucky on April 19th-21st  to experience these amazing creatures. Compete with Wa-Hi-Nasa in the Quest Games against other lodges and meet fellow arrowmen from across 4 states in our section! Sign up at https://wa-hi-nasa.org/events/conclave/ 

Induction Weekends

Staffing induction weekend is a meaningful way to provide  service to the lodge and engage with new members. There are many different areas to serve in such as kitchen, service crew, member crew, elangomat, and ceremonies. There truly is an area for everyone to serve in. We hope to see you there!
