summitAll Arrowmen are invited to attend our 2024 Colonneh Summit, which is a lodge training event designed for ALL Arrowmen (youth AND adult) to gain better knowledge on how to get more out of their OA experience and learn how to use the resources of Colonneh Lodge to better benefit their units, chapters, and Colonneh Lodge itself.  In addition, is an opportunity for all Arrowmen to learn more about 2024 Colonneh Lodge activities and also to have an opportunity to expand their OA role via exposure to new opportunities available to them in our lodge. In the afternoon, Colonneh Summit ends with a proper Lodge Executive Committee (LEC), which, as always, is open to all Arrowmen. 

On Saturday evening, Arrowmen gather for a night of celebration at the Lodge Banquet. Together, Arrowmen share an appreciation for the outgoing officers, recognize the Chapter of the Year, bestow awards on outstanding Arrowmen and celebrate the past year’s accomplishments. The evening is filled with fun and excitement as we kick off the new year with the induction of the new officers and advisers!  Also, an amazingly good catered meal is also part of the fun!

In addition, a Brotherhood Walk and Ceremony will be held during the day and is open to Colonneh Summit participants. After six months of service as an Ordeal member and after fulfilling certain requirements, a member may take part in the Brotherhood ceremony, which places further emphasis on the ideals of Scouting and the Order.
