The Shawnee Lodge NOAC Contingent will travel to the University of Colorado Boulder in 2024 for a week packed with activies with Scouts from all over the country.  A trip to the National Order of the Arrow Conference is a once in a lifetime experience for youth members.  Past conferences have inspired ideas that have lead to permanent improvements to our lodges year round program offerings.  A trip of this size can be very expensive, and the Lodge is offering a series of fundraising opportunities for members to support our NOAC contingent and keep costs as low as possible for our youth members.

In 2022, the Lodge provided scholarships to 57% of the youth contingent members. In 2024, we are planning to raise over $10k to support 1) Lowering the cost for all youth who attend, 2) Providing additional price reduction to lodge leaders in attendance, and 3) provided additional need based scholarships where necessary.

This is a pre-order form for a commemorative back patch with all proceeds supporting the 2024 Shawnee Lodge NOAC Contingent.  The back patch measures 7.5 x 8 inches and features a Scout holding a lodge flap in the parade of flaps, an iconic NOAC tradition.  The base of the patch pays homage to the Irondale Scout Reservation, where the Shawnee Lodge traces its roots.  The flap itself highlights our current camp properties where our members provide countless hours of cheerful service each year.  The mountains in the background pay homage to the 2024 conference taking place in Colorado, the first National Conference in that state since 1988. Only 100 of these patches have been made and this patch will not be re-ordered.

Special Pricing Extended! Patches can be purchased for a special launch price of $100 and picked up at the Spring Conclave in April.  If you are unable to attend the Spring Conclave or want your patch sooner, there is a option to add postage and the patches will be mailed out after the order is received.

Thank you for your support of the 2024 Shawnee Lodge NOAC Contingent!
