Here are the Section Chiefs of the Northeast Region before a training session. Ken Hager and Tom Price Center
(by Tom Price, Section Chief)
Brothers,
The leaves are changing and the chill is in the breeze, but the NE-4B is moving right along. I, along with Ken Hager, current Northeast Region Chief and past NE-4B chief, staffed the Fall NLS at Camp Alpine in New Jersey. It was a great time with arrowmen from across the region in attendence. Wagion, Ah'Tic and Ahtuhquog all had youth and adults attending NLS and NLATS. This spring, Camp Guyasta will be the host to the Spring NLS. Since it will be in our section and in Enda's Backyard, I think it would be wise to send any members who need to be trained on the region level. It is a great experience and will help your lodge's newer and up and coming members more about leadership, teamwork and the order itself.
The next major event for our section will be the November COC. This will take place at Camp Tenacharison and be held November 17th. I urge all chiefs, conclave chairman and advisors along with the lodge advisor or their representitives so that any information can be relayed. We will be voting on and doing the following:
Section Budget
Section Assesment
Training Program
Training Cells
OA Museum
Assigning Trainers
Taking Photos for Guide Book
Collection History for the Guide Book
Meeting with the host lodge's chairman for different events
Eat Lunch
Recieve a menu
Discuss Guests
Approve Patch Designs or Designate the Designer
Lodge of the Year Award
Scavanger Hunt Ideas
Arrow Corps 5

A formal invite will be sent out closer to the date, but mark your calanders now and watch NE4B.org for any up dates.
Plan on getting your Arrow Corps 5 Info Sent in soon, the reservation packets are now out!!!
Chiefs or Advisors Please send your lodge history to Paul Froman from the Region reguarding the SWAT TEAM. Please also send me a copy so I have for section record. The form was sent in the last e-mail, if you need it, please e-mail me personally.
I will see you in November!
(by Rob Marks, Section Arrow Corps 5 Chairman)
The Order of the Arrow is calling you and your Lodge members for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
You should have heard about Arrow Corps 5 by now, but in case you are new to the OA or you have been living under a rock for the last year, here are the details:
During the summer of 2008, the Order of the Arrow will deliver one of the largest conservation efforts in Scouting's history. Arrow Corps 5 will be unlike any program the Boy Scouts of America has ever offered. More than 5,000 Arrowmen will converge on five national forests over five different weeks to make a difference that will literally last a lifetime.
The closest site to our section is George Washington & Jefferson. We expect a majority of our Lodges will be working on building or refurbishing trails and clearing campsites of invasive plant species at this beautiful park during the week of June 21-28. At the end of the week, Arrowmen will have a chance to go white water rafting, mountain biking, horse back riding, fishing, or take a visit to nearby historic sites.
Two of our Lodges have plans to visit other project sites. Wagion Lodge is finalizing plans to be part of the Shasta-Trinity project in California and Enda Lechauhanne will send a contingent to the Bridger-Teton project in Wyoming.
Answer the call! Join us for a week of cheerful service and adventure! Together, we will set an example of leadership in service to those who treasure our national forests… and we’ll have fun while we are doing it.
More details will be announced soon. In the meantime, be sure that you and all the members of your lodge check out the AC5 website and sign-up for the National Events Information mail list http://event.oa-bsa.org.
