Brothers,

Spring has sprung in Central Virginia and in Nawakwa Lodge.  After an incredible Spring Service Weekend in March, Nawakwa Lodge has also thundered towards Conclave with a strong showing at Camp Rock Enon.  If you are one of our Lodge's Conclave attendees this year, please tell everyone how great it was.  With the shows, the food, the training, the competitions, and everything else offered at Conclave, there is never a dull moment.  If you did not attending Conclave, well then I hope to see you there in 2019 when Nawakwa Lodge hosts our Centennial.

Now, we have our Summer Service Weekend coming up, where we will converge on Camp T. Brady Saunders again to have a blast once again.  Like every Summer Service Weekend, we have our Lodge Officer elections, so if you are curious about running for lodge office and have any questions, feel free to reach out!  I'm always here at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  However, unlike every Summer Service Weekend, we will be hosting the National Vice Chief, Michael Kipp.  This will be an incredible opportunity to learn more about leadership, the Order, and Scouting as Michael comes to Camp T. Brady Saunders for the Weekend.  Registration for the Summer Service Weekend is on the Lodge website, so sign up now!

Another fun event your Lodge leadership has been planning is a trip to the Summit Bechtel Reserve; this is where we will conduct service and provide an opportunity for some of our members to seal their brotherhood.  If you are interested, please respond to the survey that was recently sent out.  This trip will be one of a kind, and something Nawakwa Lodge has never done before.  Participants would be a part of a first for our lodge, which is always exciting.

Finally, as always, if you are interested in becoming more involved in the lodge or in taking on a leadership role, you can always reach out to me at This email address is being protected from spambots.
