The Flight of the Arrow is a seasonal newsletter devoted

to events and news in Wulapeju Lodge. This newsletter is

available to all active Order of the Arrow members in the

lodge and is distributed to all registered, due-paying

brothers. All information about future lodge events and

registration, including banquets, conclaves, fellowships,

and yearly membership renewal, will be included in this

newsletter as available, along with messages and letters

from individual chapters as well as members of the Lodge

Executive Committee.

A Letter from Lodge Chief Dan K.

Hello my fellow Arrowmen I hope that you are all doing well

as the summer camp seasons approaches and starts. I look

forward to the Fall Conclave at Canyon Camp where we will

have Fall Elections and the Lodge Executive Committee is

looking for new young and energetic members who may be

interested in serving on the LEC, so make sure to be thinking

about whether you want to play an important role in Wula-

peju lodge and if you want to make a change! I will be looking

forward to seeing some of you through out the camping sea-

son as well as at the Fall Conclave in August. Until then I wish

all of you the best in the coming times.

It's just about the

most exciting time of

the year: summer

camp season! For

those of you who

have only been to one

Conclave or

Fellowship before,

now is the perfect

opportunity to

experience some

more! These events

keep getting better

every time, and it is a

culmination of hard

work by all the

Arrowmen. I am

personally looking

forward to a great

summer camp

experience on staff at

Canyon Camp, but

whatever camp you

go to, don't waste

such a great

opportunity to get

involved in the OA

over the summer. I

hope every one of

you have a great

camping season!

Will C.

Treasurer

Fellow Brothers, I know that many of you out there do

not go to camps because money is an issue. I thought that this would be a good time to address you

and say that there are several scholarships

out there. Do not slack at fundraisers,

however. For popcorn, you can easily raise $300

every time. Do not just give up and not go to camp because of money. As Fred

Rogers said, "look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping”.

Elangomat?

Attention all leaders: do you want to leave a legacy and make help guide the future of our lodge? Did

you Ordeal have a significant impact on you? Finally, do you want to serve cheerfully in a way that

few other lodges can? If you an-

swered yes to any of these ques-

tions, you might want to consider

being an Elangomat. An Elangomat is

an incredibly prestigious position that only a few lodges offer. Ba-

sically, Elangomats volunteer to go back and redo their Ordeals in

order to guide the next generation of Candidates and help them

find the Arrow. Elangomats will be offered certain perks in the

lodge such as free T-shirts available only to Elangomats and other

privileges at the Conclaves and Fellowships. Sound new and excit-

ing? That’s because it is! If interested, then please contact us and leave some of your contact infor-

mation. Have a happy summer in Cheerful Service! For More Information Email

Cub Scout Fun Area

Grant Pilgrimage

April 26th thru 28th

EXAMPLE

Once again this year the Or-

der of the Arrow ran the Cub

Scout Fun Area at the Grant

Pilgrimage. We were not sure

we were at the correct func-

tion this year as it was warm

and sunny all day. Not the nor-

mal cold and wet day. We had

about 200 Cub Scouts and

their family’s go through the

area and all had a good time.
