The Flyer for the Lodge sponsered Halloween Camporee, October 17-19 2008 Rancho Los Mochos, is now available. Stay tuned for more information to come.
The Lodge Fellowship on March 28th at Camp Royaneh will be an Ordeal as well. This will make up for the cancelled Winter Ordeal at Los Mochos in February.
All candidates who paid for the Los Mochos Ordeal will be recieving a letter from the Lodge Secretary and a phone call from your village Chief. The letter will contain the new reservation form. We only need to know which Ordeal the candidate, as any payment made is in our Lodge records.
The candidates will undertake their ordeal with the Adult volunteers, while the Arrowmen youth will attend to the normal Achiefest activities and elections.
A reminder to all Lodge Candidates. You must have your Scoutmaster's approval on the Lodge Officers election form and turn this into
ACHIE! This Sunday at SFBAC Council Office on Davis St. Achewin Nimat Lodge will be holding a LECM at 11:00am. All OA members currently holding an Leadership position within the Lodge are required to come but any member may attend. We will be having Pizza and soda after the LECM.
As a lodge we must figure out what we will be doing for candidates that were expected to attend the Los Mochos ordeal. Other items on the agenda include; Klondike Derby, Achiefest and the Lodge Flap Patch design.
Unfortunately, Rancho Los Mochos has officially been closed temporarily and we don't know when it will be open again.
Unfortunately, we won't be holding the ordeal anywhere else this weekend, so it is 100% cancelled. We really need the villages to contact your membership/candidates of the cancellation and that we are working on scheduling an extra ordeal opportunity for our candidates.
I really appreciate the efforts from you in getting a good bulk of candidates up this weekend as we were looking to have about 20 show up, but this is something that is out of our control.
Right now I want us to avoid having someone show up at Los Mochos to find that the ordeal is cancelled, so please help make those calls and send those e-mails to your folks.
The W3A Conclave 2008 is coming on April 25-27, 2008.

This year's conclave is being held on Coast Guard Island. in the estuary between Alameda and Oakland so it is close as easy to attend.
All arrowmen, need to turn in a Consent to Treat form each year. The current form can be found on the forms page. Please bring the form to the next Lodge Activity, or mail it to
