A Message on Committees
Our Lodge achieves success when members play an active role in its programs, and committees give you the best opportunity to do this. By providing service with a small amount of your time each month on a committee, you help this Lodge in ways that you cannot possibly imagine.
The choice is yours - sit on the sidelines and watch, or get in the game and become a truely active part of your Lodge. Being active helps both you and the Lodge prosper and grow. Choosing to serve allows you to meet other Arrowmen, many of whom will become life-long friends. You will gain a better understanding of your Lodge and the Order of the Arrow, and enjoy a valuable experience that is fun, rewarding, and exciting.
Choose a committee that interests you and give that chairman a call. They will be glad to answer any questions you have, and welcome you into their committee.
