2010 Fall Ordeal
08/20/2010 - The Lodge will host its Fall Ordeal on September 24th to the 26th. The induction weekend will be led by Ordeal Master Zac G. at Camp Massasoit, in Plymouth. There are still over 100 candidates that have not completed their Ordeal and this is the last chance to do so. This is also the last scheduled opportunity for eligible arrowmen to seal their membership by meeting the challenges of Brotherhood in 2010.
Ordeal Candidates should please bring a personal water bottle and bug spray. [ registration info ]
2010 Lodge Kick-Off
All Lodge members are invited to Camp Sayre on Saturday, August 28th at Noon for the Lodge Kickoff Barbecue. YOU MUST REGISTER ONLINE so we can purchase the appropriate amount of food, and the EVENT COST IS FREE. Please do not expect to eat if you are not registered by August 25th.
Members who are interested in Lodge Operations should select the option for LLD training and arrive at 8:30AM in field uniforms with paper, a pen, and your OA Handbook. Arrowmen will meet the new Lodge Officers and have some food. After lunch, there will be a Lodge-wide activity.
06/15/2010 - The Lodge gathered on June 15th for a Lodge General Meeting held to elect our 2010-2011 Lodge Officers. Prior to the election, scouts and scouters gathered starting at 6:00PM in Hayden Lodge for a fellowship BBQ of hamburgers and hotdogs.
At 7:45PM, Chief Raymond Cheung conducted the election by accepting nominations for each office from the floor. Candidates were given a chance to present themselves before ballots were distributed.
The election results are: Lodge Chief - Daniel Kurtzer; VC of Chapters - Thomas S.; VC of Committees - Marc B.; and Lodge Secretary - Joshua K. Several of the candidates ran unopposed and the office of Lodge Treasurer remains vacant.
2010 Section NE-1A Conclave was a great success...

Old Business
Bylaws Ratified
06/15/2010 - The Lodge voted to approved changes to the Lodge ByLaws at its General Meeting on June 15th, as published to the Lodge on LobsterLodge.org. Discussion resulted in the addition of two changes to specify the timing for LEC Meeting Agendas and Committee reports, and the restoration of the original timing for ByLaw-change notices.
The accepted Lodge By-Laws can be found on the Lodge web site.
NE1A Officers
06/13/2010 - Arrowman Chris Gardner was elected to the office of Section Chief at the NE1A Section Conclave held at Camp Roosevelt. Each year at the end of conclave, the Section holds its Annual Business meeting including the election of the next year's officers.
2009-2010 Lodge Chief, Raymond Cheung was elected to the office of Section Vice-Chief. Having two section officers from the same lodge is quite unusual and can be attributed to the strength of the youth leadership currently in our Lodge. Good luck to both Chris and Raymond in the upcoming year.
