Section Leadership Conference
Our Section Leadership Conference (SLC) will be on April 1st at Camp Bucoco. This will be a one day event, however Kuskitannee has agreed to provide lodging if needed the day prior. This will be a combined training event with Section E14. Unlike an NLS, where focus is placed on developing OA leadership techniques, our SLC will focus on challenges that face our Lodges and how we can work together to develop solutions to them. We plan to host trainings revolving around unit elections, induction rates, activation, attendance,

This event is free of cost as we seek to enable and empower lodge leaders across our section to THRIVE as we move into this new era of our Order. If your a lodge or chapter leader this is a great opportunity for you to come out and share ideas with lodge and chapter leaders from across the section, and created ACTion plans to help all levels of the OA not just survive but THRIVE.

“I had such a wonderful time at my OA Wilderness Voyage trip. I really enjoyed all of the time spent away from modern living and technology, cooking on an open fire every evening, drinking lake water which is so much better than regular water, and meeting some of the best guys ever who I have no doubt will be some of my lifelong friends. Nothing I have done in my scouting career has been as great of an experience as the time I got to spend up there in the Boundary Waters.”
— Aaron Coffman, NE-4B Secretary (2015 Scholarship recipient)
“OA Wilderness Voyage is by far my favorite scouting memory. Throughout the course of a two week journey, I was able to see over 150 miles of some of the most breath taking scenery in the nation. It was a great feeling to be able to give back to the Boundary Waters through our work on the portage trails. I also had a chance to meet Arrowmen from every corner of America and build life-long friendships. OA Wilderness Voyage for me has truly been a life changing experience.”
— William Moats, Wagion Lodge 6 Communications Chairman (2015 Scholarship recipient)
