The September issue of Supply Line newsletter has been published and is available online. In this issue, you can read more about a new book that celebrates the top rank in the Boy Scout program: Eagle Scouts: A Centennial History .
If your Order of the Arrow lodge plans a council camp or service center project during 2013, you can apply now for a 2013 OA Matching Service Grant. All lodges applying for the grant must have been a 2011 Quality Lodge and should not have received a grant from the OA during the last two…
Time to stir the pot again and call out those Scouters that choose to be Patrol leaders, Mommy/Daddy Coddlers, baby sitters, in short.. those that don't do it right. Yep.. I'm gonna piss some folks off with this one and to be honest.

Naguonabe Lodge 2012 NOAC patches Several Boy Scout members and adult advisors of our Order of the Arrow Lodge, Naguonabe Lodge, attended the National Order of the Arrow Conclave (NOAC) last week. Unfortunately, I did not attend, but I heard that those who were there had a great time.

The 2013 National Scout Jamboree promises to be a Jamboree like never before.
