Winter Leadership Encampment - 2/24-2/26/2012
WLE is a weekend workshop focusing on the leadership skills necessary for the effective delivery of lodge goals and service to the council program for the current year. Each lodge’s contingent will develop the means to accomplish individual lodge program goals and increase the support for new members. The Encampment also fosters an environment for sharing best methods and practices among participating lodges.
But don’t come expecting a day full of lectures. Sessions include encampment challenges, outdoor activities and small discussion groups on issues facing our lodges.2012 National Order of the Arrow Conference
