ArrowCorps5: Section NE-4B Answers the Call
(by Rob Marks, Section Arrow Corps 5 Chairman)
Every Lodge in NE-4B has plans to attend one or more of the ArrowCorps5 projects in the summer of 2008. Over 60 Arrowmen in our section will have an unforgettable experience in the summer of 2008! This is a testimony to the quality of leadership in each of our Lodges and their commitment to the values of our Order.
The next steps:
- Recruit additional members to join the FUN!
- Collect and submit deposits with Form B to National.
- Work on travel and sightseeing plans.
- Start physical conditioning and schedule a physical exam (if needed) for the Class 3 medical form.
- Watch the web for updates. Administrative, transportation and program information will be available online no later than March 1, 2008.
Staff is still needed for most projects. Squad Leaders are the essential element to the successful completion of each project. Arrowmen must be 18 before June 1, 2008 to be a Squad Leaders or 16 before June 1 to be an Assistant Squad Leader. If you are interested in being on staff, visit http://event.oa-bsa.org/ and click on the "For Staff" link to download a staff application. Squad Leaders who did not participate in the conservation track at NCLS will be asked to arrive on site early and participate in a two-day training (Shasta-Trinity project has a training scheduled for February).
