Forge On! Scouting Adventure:
Save the DATE! The Three Fires Camporee "FORGE ON!" will be held on Fri-Sun, Sept 30 - Oct 2nd at The Forge in Lemont.
We’re in need of a sizeable OA presence at The Forge in Lemont in September. Be sure to sign up here: https://scoutingevent.com/127-ForgeOn
Additionally, Patrick Herr will be heading up our presence at the Camporee. We are in need of event staff for two areas. One group will be working on program support, and the other will be working on OA promotion. Program support will be in charge of various things like staff meals, parking, etc. Meanwhile, OA promotion will be in charge of promoting the OA to the participants there, encouraging people to attend lodge events, and more. OA promotion may also run an activity station depending on the needs at the event. If you’re interested in helping out, please fill out Patrick’s form to indicate that: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeXxxFm9Egnx2QxS3mjk406FSQGIVcJLPKWwgLvcsadekv6IQ/viewform .
We’re also in need of an adult to act as the adviser for the Camporee committee. If interested, please reach out to chief@oa41.org.
