Lodge Newsletter:
“The Bow” is the Lodge’s newsletter that is published four times per year. Inside “The Bow” you will find information and registration forms on upcoming events, articles of ideas, opinions, and reviews of past events. Also included are the lodge officer phone numbers and emails for contact purposes.
Uniform:
Field uniforms include a scout uniform and OA sash. Field Uniforms must be worn at dinner during lodge functions, at the winter banquet, Council of Chiefs, and all the other lodge functions. During workdays, service projects, and activities, arrowmen should wear a Class-B uniform. Remember, the OA is the Honor Society of the Boy Scouts. We should set the example.
OA Sash:
The OA Handbook describes the correct method of wearing the OA Sash. It states that the sash is to be worn only at official OA functions and with the Official uniform, Elangomats in the Ordeal excepted, and any other occasion approved by the Scout Executive. At all other non-official OA functions, the flap, pocket ribbon and pin are the official symbols of membership in the OA.
Lodge Website:
The lodge website is www.tsalilodge.org. On this website you can find everything from registration forms and calendars to the legend of Tsali and the recipients of the Founder’s award, Vigil Honor and the Distinguished Service Award. There is a lodge forum for posting questions and getting answers, and there is information about the lodge government and upcoming events. (This website complies with the National criteria and outline for websites.)
Lodge Dues:
Annual dues for Tsali Lodge arrowmen are $8 and are due on December 31st. Forms for dues payments are available in the Daniel Boone Council’s newsletter, “The Long Rifle”, “The Bow”, or online at the lodge’s website at www.tsalilodge.org.
