Dixie Fellowship will be held April 22nd-24th at Knox Scout Reservation in Lincolnton, GA. It will be a weekend jammed packed with events: the Quest for the Golden Arrow, Ceremonial, Dance, and Sing competitions, and don’t forget the training sessions that can help you get a boost in your role in the Order of the Arrow.

The theme this year is “What is your legacy?” Chosen to encourage Arrowmen to reflect on the past and use what they have learned to better their lodge and the Order of the Arrow in the future. The goal is for each Arrowman to create his or her own legacy.
Here’s some info that will help you in planning for your trip to Dixie:

Camping at Dixie
We are in campsite 4 on the map, Kiokee East. Campsites do not contain tents, platforms, or shelters. There is no electricity in campsites nor bathroooms. There are bathrooms around the camping area for all lodges to use. There are a very limited number of showers. Persons requiring CPAP machines should bring a battery powered method of operating the device. Bring a camp chair to be used for training, shows, etcetera.
Dining at Dixie
All meals will be served at the camp’s Dining Tent. Dining will be outside under the large tent outside the Sewell Center. There will be two shifts of dining. Consult your passport on your lodge’s dining sequence.
Parking
As with most other camps, parking is a concern so please carpool as much as possible.
Check-in and Check-out
No vehicles will be allowed at the campsites. Gear will be dropped off at the designated areas and brought to your sites by the Service Lodge. Shuttle buses will be available to take Arrowmen from the parking area to their lodges’ campsites. On Sunday check-out, shuttle buses will transport delegates to vehicles in the parking lot, park and load their vehicles, then depart Knox Scout Reservation.
Communications
Knox Scout Reservation has weak cell reception throughout most of camp for most carriers. Verizon reportedly works best. Radios are suggested for lodge communications.
