Are You Ready For Section Conference?
By Justin Cowell
Section Conference is being held this year by Osceola Lodge
and will be at Camp Miles on April 13-15th. This event happens
annually and is one of the two opportunities a year that our
lodge gathers with other lodges from the section. You can
expect a wild weekend that previously featured activities
ranging from hilarious dance competitions between lodge
chiefs to food eating competitions and even trying to catch
a greased watermelon. During Section Conference, you can
meet fellow brothers from other lodges in Florida, learn about
different aspects of the Order of the Arrow and compete
against the other lodges. There is something for everyone at
Section Conference and we hope to see all of our members at
Camp Miles. More information will be announced at Spring Fellowship!
