Scouts and Scouters,

My name is Marie Kenney, and I am proud to serve as Shenandoah Lodge Chief for 2025.

Later this month, we will be having our first event of the year: Spring Fellowship. Registration is live, and you can go to our website to register. The event will be held at Camp Shenandoah from March 21st to March 23rd. We have amazing programs planned, with games all day and various stations to stop by. We will also be hosting Ordeal Inductions and Brotherhood Inductions at this event. A Vigil Honor election meeting will be held as well. If you plan on submitting a Vigil nomination, please submit it soon.

Coming up in May, we will have our annual Shenandoah Fest! This year, we will not be holding it at Shenandoah, but at a more central location. A call-out ceremony will be hosted there along with many programs, so both Scouters and non-Scouters can enjoy this amazing event. You do NOT have to be in the Order of the Arrow to attend! This event is a way for us to show others what and who the OA is. If you are interested in helping with this event, please contact me or Ben Annan.

Lastly, if you or someone you know has recently been elected into the Order of the Arrow, please visit https://www.shenandoahlodge.org/ordeal/ to learn about the next steps. We have opportunities at Spring Fellowship, June Fellowship, and August Fellowship for them to take their next step in fulfilling their inductions.

I look forward to seeing you in March, and you will hear from me again in April!

Yours in Service,
