There will also be an opportunity for Arrowmen who have been Ordeal members for at least 6 months to transition to Brotherhood. 

• Brotherhood questioning will occur prior to the fellowship via Zoom
• The Brotherhood hike and ceremony will happen at 4:30 pm on Saturday
• This resource page on the lodge website will help you prepare for the Brotherhood transition.

The cost is $20 per person which includes a HOT lunch, patch, program materials, and COVID-19 mitigation supplies.

Scouts will need to bring Parts A and B of the BSA Annual Health & Medical Record.

Scouts will undergo a COVID-19 screening in the main parking lot before entering camp.

Scouts are required to wear a face-covering when they cannot socially distance.

All of the programs, including lunch, will take place outside or under open-air shelters. 

As such, Scouts should dress for the weather.

Registration closes on Tuesday, March 9 at 11:59 pm.

NOTE for adult Arrowmen: BSA Chain Saw Safety Course

The BSA requires all adults who use a chain saw on Boy Scout property or at a Scouting event to complete the BSA Chain Saw Safety Course. 

Since many adult Arrowmen support camp on workdays with a chain saw, we will offer this course during Spring Fellowship.

The course starts at 9:00 am and will end at 3:00 pm. 

Our camp rangers, Dave Douglas and Steve Allred, will teach the course.

The course is hands-on.

If you are interested in taking the course, please indicate so on the registration form.
