Ordeal is coming up soon on August 13-15, 2022 and we want you to join us for a great weekend of fellowship, service, and brotherhood. We’ll have candidates joining our order, brotherhood testing, and service projects to pack up Summer Camp for the year. The cost for the ordeal is $23 for brothers and $52 for candidates.
So come out and join your brothers in cheerful service and welcome all the new members to our lodge.

The Vigil Honor is unique. It is the highest honor that an Order of the Arrow Lodge can bestow on its members. The Vigil honor is not earned; it is given to honor someone for going above and beyond the description of his or her position in scouting, for the greater good the lodge and Scouting.
Under no circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered as reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation.
To be eligible for consideration for the Vigil Honor, an Arrowman must have been a Brotherhood member for at least two years at the time of the Lodge Vigil selection meeting; and a member in good standing with the Piedmont Council, BSA and Eswau Huppeday Lodge #560 (registered with dues paid).
To view a list of eligible brothers and to make your nomination, please visit the Vigil Honor page.

The 2022 Conclave will be held April 22-24, 2022 at Camp John J. Barnhardt. The address is 44184 Cannon Rd, New London, NC 28127. Check-in for our lodge is from 2:00-8:00 pm. Delegates are responsible for their own transportation. It is recommended that you eat supper before you arrive at camp on Friday. You may also want to bring some snack foods. Once check-in is completed, you’ll need to carry your equipment to your campsite, so pack accordingly. If you want Conclave memorabilia, visit the trading post early before they sell out. You may want to bring a chair or sit pad for seating in the amphitheater. Plan to wear your BSA Field Uniform or Class B Uniform during the weekend.
We are in need of adult volunteers to help judge competitions. If you’re able to help, please reach out to Andrew (andrewgsalisbury1@nullhotmail.com) or Abby (abbyfpearson@nullgmail.com).
If you’re interested in Dance Team, contact Elliot Gantt (elgantt21@nullgmail.com).
