2026 HODAG Winter Klondike: Hosted by Pontiac Manito Chapter of the Mishigami Lodge

The Hodag is a one-day, one-night Winter Klondike campout in which Scouts compete in Patrols or Crews in events variously emphasizing Scout skills, teamwork, and spirit. Youth-led units compete to win The Coveted Golden Coffee Thingy.

The Hodag is a 100% youth-created, youth-run, youth-led event.  The event and its activities have been planned, developed, and staffed entirely by the youth as part of the Order of the Arrow’s leadership development mission.
