The Cornerstone Conclave is the premiere Section-level event of the year, where all OA lodges from South Carolina and parts of North Carolina, and Georgia (see Section map) descend on a local camp to compete for Lodge of the Year, the Quest for the Golden Arrow, hold Section officer elections, and join in fellowship with other Arrowmen from around the Southeast.
All members of Muscogee Lodge should register to attend. Because we are the service lodge this year, all attendees from our lodge will play dual roles as both delegate AND staff. So when you go to register, do so as a member of Muscogee Lodge.
Health Forms & Medical Concerns
Complete BSA Health Form parts A and B, sign part A and B (a doctor’s signature not required, just parent/guardian), and send the signed forms to medical@muscogeelodge.org. This is a secure inbox with extremely limited access, so rest assured that your personal information will be safeguarded. Delegates who do not have a health form on file with the medical officer will not be allowed to attend Conclave, and their registration fee will not be returned. Also, if you have significant health concerns or dietary restrictions, please send a note to the medical officer at the email address above, so we can prepare for the weekend.
Is Included
The Section E7 registration site will collect a $70 registration fee. This fee includes all meals, an event staff patch, an event polo shirt, a Muscogee delegate patch, a delegate t-shirt, and delegation spirit items. To inquire about financial assistance, fill out the Financial Assistance form, then email the completed form to FinancialAssistance@MuscogeeLodge.org (a secure mailbox).
To Bring
You should bring the same types of items that you would to any other OA Fellowship or campout. That said, you will want to bring a tent, or arrange to share a tent. You are expected to strictly comply with Youth Protection rules concerning those who may share a tent - see the 'Accommodations' section on the YPT FAQ page. Conclave is a uniformed event. Only bring BSA uniforms (including OA sash) and clothing that is directly associated with the delegation spirit theme. Please also bring a flashlight, water bottle, sleeping bag, pillow, rain gear, toiletries, towel, sunscreen, bug spray, and spending money. Be sure to check the weather leading up to the event for more up-to-date information to guide your packing decisions. Note that you will be dropping off your gear at a designated station by the parking lot for transportation to the campsite, so be sure it is as compact as possible (and has your name on it).
To Do
There are many ways to participate at Conclave! There’s the Quest for the Golden Arrow, Ceremonies Evaluation, Training, Administrative and American Indian Activities. We will need competitors and judges for each of these events, so if you are interested please reach out at conclave@muscogeelodge.org so we can add you to our list!
Please note that the event fee is not covered by the Annual Pass, so all lodge members pay the same event fee.
