The Tomahaken Chapter of the Kawida Lodge held it's monthly meeting yesterday. The attendance was good. 10 youth and 4 adults. I like that ratio. It is a far cry from the 4 youth and 3 adults that we started with back in January 2005. Back then, we could all fit around 1 small table. Since then, we've been to Conclaves, a NOAC, every Lodge meeting, and 2 of our youth are Lodge officers. 1, a Section officer.
It is a magical thing when a group of young men join together to work towards a common goal. The Order of the Arrow has given us the opportunity to retain our best and older Scouts and has given them a new sense, that Scouting can still be fun.
I think Jeremiah Back said it best.
"We've grown into a 3 table Chapter".
