Mic-O-Say Lodge 541 will be holding its annual Spring Fellowship on May 31 through June 2, 2019 at Jolley Ranch, which we have been graciously allowed to use for the weekend. This event serves as a great way to complete Ordeals, create lasting bonds of brotherhood and fellowship, meet new scouts from all over the council, and, for Arrowmen who have already been inducted, it serves as a chance to go for the honor of Brotherhood and Vigil.
In attendance at this year's Spring Fellowship
Scouts everywhere, from Steamboat to Montrose will be in attendance at this year's Spring Fellowship. In addition to great fellowship, a large amount of Spring Fellowship consists of service. The Order of the Arrow is scouting's honor society, the brotherhood of cheerful service. You won't want to miss what is happening at this year's Spring Fellowship.
Mark your Calendars! Fellowship is rapidly approaching!
Fellowship check-in and registration begins at 6:30 and goes until 8:00. The ordeal will begin at 8:30pm Friday night and will go until Sunday morning at approximately 10am. Dinner will not be provided Friday night, so please eat prior to your arrival. You may sign up now if you have not done so already. Please follow this link to register for Spring Fellowship. Registration costs $10 for members, $15 for Brotherhood and Vigil Candidates, and $15 for Ordeal Candidates.

For newly elected Order of the Arrow candidates:
So what is the Order of the Arrow and why should I care?
The Order of the Arrow is Scouting's National Honor Society, comprised of scouts who's attitude and service have been seen and noticed by the scouts in their unit. You have been elected by your unit, not because of things you have already done to lead and serve, but because of the things that you are yet to do. Many great leadership opportunities in the OA exist to help to make units and scouts grow in the way they are led.
What happens after my ordeal?
After your ordeal is over, you will be officially brought into the Order of the Arrow. You will join over 170,000 other scouts who's service was recognized, just like you. It is the hope of the lodge and chapter that you remain active after your ordeal and continue to grow the leadership in your troop, school and all aspects of your life. Great things are to come of the Order of the Arrow, and you can be a part of this change.
