Friday night will be like a lock-in event and Scouts have the option of staying up late, but you can go to bed whenever you like.  Scouts staying up later must sleep at some point and/or have a designated ride home.  You will NOT be allowed to drive yourself home first thing in the morning.  TV’s and video games are not supplied.  You should contact others going to coordinate bringing these items, if desired.

Saturday events are still being finalized and the OA Bulletin Board (link below) will have updates.  Those interested in participating in ceremonies or being Elangomats for our upcoming Induction Weekends, or joining a Lodge committee, will have an opportunity to learn more about what is involved.

Please remember that fully vaccinated means that all shots have been received and that more than two weeks have elapsed since the last one. Verification by the CDC vaccination card is required.
No participants can show evidence of any aspect of illness, nor have been exposed to a person with COVID-19 within the last two weeks.
Mask use is still required at all indoor activities.
