With a heavy heart we would like to announce changes to the 2020 Tipisa Lodge and Section calendars regarding the COVID-19 (corona) virus.
To the Arrowmen of Tipisa Lodge #326,
Spring Conclave will be combined with Service Weekend meaning it will be rescheduled for May 15-17. If you are currently registered for Spring Conclave, your registration fee will be moved to Service Weekend.
This decision regard Spring Conclave was a tough one to make for the Lodge Key 3 but with the safety of our brothers as our first priority and with the guidance of Central Florida Council we feel it is the best way to keep everyone safe as well as continue to provide a stellar program for all members. Lodge elections and the May Ordeal will still be happening that weekend as well (May 15-17). We will be moving the Founders Award presentation and Vigil Callout to the Lodge Annual Banquet in August. The program for this weekend is still being finalized.
A scout is clean, so please make sure to stay safe and properly wash as well as stay away from dirty surfaces. A scout is prepared, please make sure you and your families have essential goods at home. A scout is helpful, stay active in your communities. Tipisa Lodge fully supports Camp La-No-Che’s policy of reducing the size of groups at camp for the time being. Keeping scouting safe in Central Florida is the priority of the Council leadership. Please reach out to the Lodge Chief or your Chapter Chief with any questions.
The National Order of the Arrow Director has notified all Sections that Section events for the time being must be postponed/cancelled. Therefore the 2020 Section Conference, hosted by Echockotee Lodge, has been postponed/cancelled.
Know that Section S4 leadership is in discussions with the host lodge to determine if Section Conference can be rescheduled.
If you are currently registered for Section Conference, your registration fee will be refunded 100%.
Regarding our next LEC, plans are being made for a virtual LEC on April 6th. Additional details will be circulated once confirmed by the Chief and his officers.
Stay safe and well.
Yours in the Wimachtendienk Wingolauchsik Witahemui,
