Southern Standard Southern Standard 2017 Letter from the Editor Brothers, As we’ve started to embark on the year, I ask you to look back at 2017 and reflect on all the great experiences and lessons learn that have made a lasting impression for 2018. For me, I looked at the 2017 National Jamboree as a great experience while also learning a lot from other Arrowman around the country. For you, it might mean your first lodge meeting where you met Arrowmen from across your council or maybe your first Section Conclave where you met Arrowmen across your state. What ever that growing experience might have been for you this year, like during your ordeal, sit down, and reflect. For the second year in a row the Southern Region published the Southern Standard to bring you this year-in-review for 2017, a yearbook for the Southern Region. I’m excited to share what the Southern Region has been doing; included are event photos, national and regional event highlights, section conclave reports, and a new lodge highlight section. We hope you will find this report informative and interesting. Thank you to Harrison, Talon, and the many others who have contributed to this report. The submissions from each section secretary, and event photos from attendees, are much appreciated. This report would not have been possible without your assistance. Yours in Service, AJ Valverde Editor-in-Chief Karankawa Lodge 307, Section SR-3 Inducted May 2012 Letter from the Region Key Three To the Arrowmen of the Southern Region, Order of the Arrow: It has been a privilege to serve this year as your Key 3. Though each of us fulfills a different role, we had one shared vision throughout the year to accomplish as a team: to positively impact youth across the Southern Region. From meeting all of you at different events this year to gathering for the National Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve to delivering training for your chapter, lodge, and section leaders, we have done our best to accomplish that ongoing goal and have witnessed firsthand that the Order of the Arrow is alive and well in the Southern Region! Truthfully, though, the credit is entirely yours. Our Region boasted over a third of the Operation Arrow staff members at this year’s National Scout Jamboree. The boys in blue were busy for two weeks leading mountain treks, informing participants on Native American culture, and performing all kinds of additional service to the Jamboree. To add to this, over 170 Arrowmen from across the South came together at two NLS/DYLC events to better themselves as leaders. These Arrowmen were able to learn more about themselves and how they can become more effective leaders and mentors both in and out of Scouting. This October, section leaders from across eleven sections converged upon Florida Sea Base to showcase what their sections have to be proud of and to take home knowledge on how to define and accomplish their own visions through their term of office. Several of these servant leaders provided service to Sea Base through cleaning up storm damage to the facility. Even in the face of tragedy, Southern Region Arrowmen organized efforts to rebuild and aid in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma this fall. This boots-on-the- ground service above self is what our Order is all about - personal sacrifice for the betterment of others. Were it not for early-acting Arrowmen, many of the disaster affected would not have received the assistance they required in their time of need. As the year concludes, we look back fondly over what you have all been a part of - building a better tomorrow for yourselves, your lodges, and this world. Thank you for allowing us the chance to serve you, and know that we will always be proud of what you have made possible in 2017.

Section chiefs from across the country come together in Dallas, TX to elect new national officers and begin planning next year’s program of emphasis. In 2016, our leadership did not just plan the National Jamboree but also the first ever OA Hackathon and Wachipi, an American Indian Seminar at Philmont. The planning of a new National Leadership Seminar and Lodge Leadership Development also began. Currently the Order’s top leadership is planning for the 2018 National Order of the Arrow Conference at Indiana University. WACHIPI, Native American Seminar Philmont Scout Ranch played host to Wachipi, an American Indian seminar, June 4-6, 2017. 125 Arrowmen from across the country gathered to learn and celebrate the rich history and traditions of American Indians. The event saw many training sessions, two pow wows, and other activities to enrich the experience for everyone. Each participant created crafts to bring home and enhance their ceremonies and dance teams. Operation Arrow in Review During the 2017 National Jamboree the Order of the Arrow launched the largest ever Operation Arrow staff initiative. 450 Arrowmen from across the country came to serve on Trek Guide, Indian Village, Service Corp, Headquarters, and Recreation staff. 200 of those Arrowmen came from the Southern Region. This was historic for the Southern Region bringing the most out of all four Regions to the Jamboree. We look forward to the Order of the Arrow’s participation at the next National Jamboree. Hurricanes Harvey and Irma Relief On August 25, 2017 Hurricane Harvey bore down on the Texas Coast, only 16 days later. Hurricane Irma made landfall in Florida. Both storms caused extensive damage throughout the south. In total twelve councils experienced damage, with South Florida Council losing major elements of Camp Sawyer, the southernmost camp in the United States. To help with the rebuilding efforts, Section S-3 sold patches, one lodge served food to victims on the coast, and various lodges in Florida held clean up days and fundraisers. Many are still in need, if you still want to help check out Camp Sawyer Recovery Go Fund Me account; to order a relief patch check out www.SR-3.org. National Leadership Seminar and Developing Youth Leadership Conference This year, the Southern Region hosted two courses the third was canceled because of Hurricane Irma. This was a significant year with the launch of the revamped NLS course and whole new adult training course. “NLS challenged my beliefs in quality leadership and taught me great, insightful methods to tackle problems in my everyday life. As a result of NLS, I gained a new view on leadership and following and have translated the teachings into success in our lodge,” said Ricky Zamora

The second occurred during the 60th Anniversary Celebration at Treasure Island Scout Camp. Arriving late, Brad and National Vice Chief Eddie Stumler stood in the back of the audience behind two young Arrowmen during the opening flag ceremony. Unnoticed by the two, Brad and Eddie overheard their conversation. They wanted to meet and talk with the national officers, but they remained unsure how to introduce themselves. As the two turned around following the ceremony, they recognized the national officers and became tongue-tied. Brad and Eddie quickly introduced themselves and engaged the two young Arrowmen in conversation. Brad realized that as a leader, people should not have to come to you; you should go to them, be approachable, and make them feel comfortable.

  • The History of Echockotee Lodge #200 Est
    WE ARE BROTHERS The History of Echockotee Lodge #200 Est. 1941 WWW 76th Anniversary Edition First a Spark, then a Flame As one of the four official experimental programs in the early years of the Boy Scouts of America, the Order of the Arrow’s growth was due to the word-of-mouth advertising between council executives, seeing its successes and bringing the Order into their own programs. This was at a time when each of the experimental programs were to grow at their own natural pace, and it was only through personal contact and observation could the Order grow. In February of 1937, in Columbia, South Carolina, a meeting of the executives of the old Region Six was held. These leaders, coming from North and South Carolina, Georgia, most of Florida, parts of Alabama, and the Panama Canal Zone, met with members of the National Program staff, including E. Urner Goodman, the founder of the Order of the Arrow. In his capacity of Director of Program, for the BSA, he was in a position to offer his expert advice on the Order and its potential in camp and council activities. In the ten years following that meeting, 34 of the 40 lodges in Region Six were chartered by the National office. Seeds planted in that meeting were tended by nearby executives familiar with the benefits brought by the Order, and from those leaders of nearby lodges came the establishment of other lodges; such was the case with the establishment of Echockotee Lodge 200. Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has maintained a high profile in the Jacksonville, Florida area.

    Let’s Go Camping Guide compiled by Amangamek-Wipit Lodge 470 Order of the Arrow National Capital Area Council May 2002 To: All NCAC Unit Leaders From: Amangamek-Wipit Camping Committee Subject: LET'S GO CAMPING GUIDE Date: May 2002 Greetings! This is your copy of the annual Let's Go Camping Guide. The National Capital Area Council Order of the Arrow Amangamek-Wipit Lodge updates this guide annually. This guide is intended to support the unit camping program by providing leaders with a directory of nearby campgrounds. The guide is organized into three sections. Section I lists public campgrounds in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Section II covers campgrounds administered by the Boy Scouts of America in Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Section III provides a place for leaders to record their favorite campgrounds for future reference. Many people have provided listings to this year's edition of the guide and we are grateful to all who have contributed. However, this guide is far from a complete listing of the camping resources available to NCAC units. If you would like to add a listing or if you discover a listing in need of correction please contact Philip Caridi at your convenience at [email protected]. Together we can make next year's guide even more useful.
