Fellowships

Three times a year, Muscogee's brothers gather at Camp Barstow for a weekend of fun and fellowship. Starting on Friday night with a camp fire and ending on Sunday with a chapel service, fellowships are great opportunities to promote chapter spirit and competition. Chapters compete in a variety of events such as basketball, football, ultimate frisbee, ceremony teams, and of course-- spirit! One-hour service projects are conducted on Saturday morning, and a business meeting is typically scheduled shortly after lunch. Saturday evenings present opportunities such as a patch auction and the world-famous Barstow Cinema. All meals (with the exception of Friday night dinner) are included in the registration fee, as well as two cracker-barrels.

 Dixie

Imagine, if you will, a typical Muscogee fellowship multiplied by eleven! This is just about the only way to describe this one of a kind OA experience. Once a year, eleven lodges from South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia are jammed into a single camp for an action-packed three days of spirit and competition. Throughout the weekend, lodges compete in multiple areas of expertise ranging from administrative events such as best newsletter to Native American events such as best drum-sing team. Friday night's opening show sets the mood and kicks things off. The numerous competitions are held at scheduled times on Saturday, and end just before sundown. Awards are presented after chapel on Sunday morning.

 Winter Banquet

The annual Winter Banquet (typically held in early January) is an opportunity to recognize arrowmen for their achievements in the past year. It also serves as the installation point for the upcoming year's lodge officers. A catered dinner is provided, during which a presentation is made by a guest speaker. The event also includes a silent patch auction for those interested.

 LLDC

Muscogee's annual Lodge Leadership Development Conference is generally held late in the year, and is a training event for newly-elected lodge and chapter officers. This one-day event is mandatory for both youth officers and their corresponding adult adviser. Lunch is included in the registration fee.

 Work Days & Beaver Days

What would a Brotherhood of Cheerful Service be without cheeful service? Work days, also known as "beaver days" are scheduled throughout the year to knock out any projects that need to be done around camp.
