This is a secret page for the members of our Chapter to share our plans for the Fall Fellowship. This is so no other Chapters within Cahuilla Lodge can find out our Gig plans. There are no direct links to access this page from the rest of the website.

Theme: There are many good moccasin tracks along the path of a straight arrow

When: October 3-5, 2008

Where: Camp Emerson on the Bosecker Scout Reservation, Idyllwild, CA

 

Program Highlights: Chili Cookoff, "OA Idol" Talent Contest, Saturday Night Campfire, Lodge Officer Elections, New Vigil Honor Recognitions, Great Training Sessions,

and a Whole Bunch of Fun

   The 2008 Fall Fellowship will be October  4-6 at Camp Emerson in Idyllwild. This is the biggest OA event of the year within Cahuilla Lodge. This is the time when our ceremony teams, camp promotion team, Chapter events over the year and spirit come together in one place.

    Every year our Chapter creates a "Gig" to help focus our spirit and energy. We like to choose a uniquely themed Gig that will help make our Chapter standout.  Our Gig for this year will be Scotland Highlander.

    Kilts

   Kilts will be provided by the ACA Chapter. We just need to know who has enough Spirit to wear one at the Fall Fellowship. A few parents have graciously volunteered to build kilts for the those Arrowmen who would like to wear one to show off their Chapter Spirit. Arrowmen from our Chapter are not required to wear a kilt during the weekend. This is only being provided as an extra option to our event Gig.

   If you would like to join several other Chapter members that will be wearing kilts as part of the Gig, then please contact us with your name and measurements so that a kilt can be provided to you. A $15 donation is asked for to help purchase the kilt fabric. Details for the needed measurements can be found below.

   Items such as derby caps and sporrans (Gaelic for "purse": a type of pouch worn on the front of the kilt) and belts will not be provided. Individuals will have to provide their own costuming accessories.

Needed Measurements

   The measurements needed are: waist size; hip measurements (measured the same as the waist, but is the circumference of the body across the hips and buttocks); and length from the waist to just below the knee (the length of the kilt typically ends just below the knee).

For more information about proper measurements, parts and history of the kilt, please click on the following link to visit Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilt

Highland Games

 As is ACA tradition, we will be holding highland games during lunch.  Events that will be held include caber toss, weight throw, and hammer throw.

OA Idol Talent Contest

    Needless to say that our entry into the talent Contest will be an appropriate Scottish Highlander dance. Announcements and volunteers will be made in the coming weeks.

Chili Cookoff

    Each Chapter is being asked to provide a team of 2 youth and 2 adults to take part in the Chili Cookoff. Please let us know if you are interested in showing off your cooking skills.
