Winter Fellowship is the Order of the Arrows winter fun event where Arrowmen from all across the lodge get together to have a good time. For the last five years, it has been held at Camp Wilderness.
This year Chapter 13 in Bismarck will be hosting Winter Fellowship January 13 - January 15. It is being held at the National Guard Aviation Support Facility near the Bismarck airport. Activities planned include a tour of the National Guard helicopters, small-bore rifle shooting, SWAT presentations, laser tag and much more.
Do you like great OA shows, fun games, High Adventure, Native American events, and getting to meet 7,000+ other Arrowmen from across the world? Then NOAC is the event for you! NOAC has many different aspects and it is impossible to participate in every event in one year. Each year events are added and changed so you could go to NOAC every time and do new things each time. You’ll get a chance to meet the OA National Chief, have fun at games and activities, learn lots and last, but not least, patch trading! NOAC has something for everyone of all backgrounds and all ages. It is definitely one of Scouting’s most unique and entertaining training events.
Attend all four events this year (Winter Fellowship, Spring Conclave, Fall Concalve, and the Lodge Leadership retreat) to assemble you unique Pa-Hin Back Patch. You recieve the ring with your first event, then attend the other three to assemble your patch.
Calling Ordeal Members! Complete your Brotherhood this year and get a special-edition Silver Ring for your Back Patch. Already a Brotherhood member? Attend a ceremony and receive yours.

OA
offers Arrowmen the unique opportunity
to work and play at the Boy Scout High Adventure bases. You'll spend a
week conducting service -- working on trails and portages -- and a week
choosing your own adventure. Program prices range from $125 to $250
(plus transportation) for the two weeks -- a great, inexpensive way to
experience the high adventure base.

The 2008 Lodge
Service project is called Scouting for
Life. This service project, which was approved by the Lodge Executive
Committee (Chapter Chiefs, Lodge Leaders, Lodge Committee Chairs, etc.)
will target organ donations. There is a uniform law that has gone into
place through out ND, SD, MN, and MT that would make it legal to mark
your preferences as an organ donor at the age of 16. We are looking to
run a series of PSAs (public service announcements) and we need
videos!
