We would like to thank all of the brothers who attended the 2008 Cardinal Conclave at Camp Bowers. It was an awesome conclave with over 200 brothers representing Lodge 70!
Friday night started out with Tsoiotsi Tsogalii singing and yelling with plaid vests and wooden axes as we made our way to the evening campfire. That evening Tsali Lodge #134, whose dance team won the national group dance compeptition at the 2006 National Order of the Arrow Convention, performed for the contingent.
Throughout Saturday Arrowmen took advantage of events such as OAxperience, Ceremonies, Drum, Singing, & Dance Competition, patch trading, and all around good fellowship. Then in the afternoon Quest Events started followed by Section Elections. Later that evening, all the dancers from the Section performed for the contingent; then awards and a Broken Arrow Ceremony for fallen Arrowmen was given.
Sunday morning Tsoiotsi Tsogalii #70 was presented the infamous Spirit Award for the first time ever! We also were awarded the first place Communication Award. Make sure to partake next year at Camp Tuscarora for the fun and fellowship!!

A Scout’s duty to country calls us all to help preserve the beauty of treasures like national forests. This adventure will be the largest BSA conservation project ever!
