To use the OA Lodge for a Weekend, you must comply with what’s stated below. Just to clarify, Winter Camp Staffing includes putting on a program for the weekend.
Service Units must be present at the Friday night Cracker Barrel hosted by the Campmaster (usually in HQ). This meeting provides an excellent opportunity for the OA Service Troop to become acquainted with the troops and packs in camp and to inform them of the program schedule for the weekend. It would also be during the cracker barrel that the Service Troop would offer a Saturday evening campfire (although visiting groups may choose to do their own campfire program).
Saturday programs should focus on scout skills, although this is just a suggestion. Keep in mind that the Horseshoe Scout Reservation is utilized by both Boy Scout Troops and Cub Scout Packs and the service unit’s activities should allow for age appropriate levels of participation.
