3 Letter from the Officers When each of us took office in January, we knew it would be another remarkable year for Colonneh Lodge. Our announced vision for this year was to promote and grow the chapters to develop strong areas within Colonneh Lodge. While Arrowman Bash was a great enabler to push toward our vision, this Pow Wow will for sure make it soar. This past year has been a true step in to serving, not only our fellow Scouts and Scouters across Sam Houston Area Council, but around the nation. There is still time for us to Step Up, Step out and become the leaders of today! This weekend will offer a diverse amount of training, fellowship, service, and fun with plenty of options to choose from. In this guide, you will find information regarding the program, logistics, and policies of 2017 Fall Pow Wow. We hope you will use this guide to make the most of your experience. Whether you're drinking root beer, playing a game of capture the flag, or enjoying the views on the climbing wall, we are sure you will have a great time! We can t wait to see you November 3 rd -5 th! Yours in Service, Clayton Bill Lodge Chief Seth Griffith LVC - Program Evan Blackledge LVC Service Blain Blanchard LVC Administration Ethan Roberts LVC Membership Tyler Green LVC Chapter Operations 3
