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, membership growth, etc. These trainings are concentrated on those aspect of PMP that our Section overall struggles with the most. Registration for this event can be made available through this link. The overall cost is $20. There will be a Council of Chiefs meeting on the following day.

ACT CONFERENCE | Section NE-4B

As per the change from Project Magellan we will be transitioning into a new time and identifier as a section. As such our ACT conference will be the last event hosted by Section NE-4B, as we will be transitioning to our new E12 identifier at the COC meeting that will conclude training on that Saturday.
If you want to join us for this historic event please fill out the registration form:
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.
The Section trading post will be open and we will have the LAST Section NE4B event patch available at this event. Hope to see you there.
-Alex Bradley | Section Chief

Why YOU Should Attend OA High Adventure

Why should one attend OA High Adventure(OAHA)? Read these articles from the two 2015 OAHA Section Scholarship recipients and check out http://adventure.oa-bsa.org/ for more information on Northern Tiers Wilderness Voyage and all of the other great programs one can attend threw the Order of the Arrow!

“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)
