Winter Fellowship is the first lodge event of the year, and for 2026 we embrace the powerful theme of “Hand in Hand.” This theme is a calling for every Arrowman to gather together, bridging the distances created by the winter months and strengthening the sacred bonds of brotherhood.

This Fellowship is designed to be more than just a gathering; it is an active opportunity to deepen your shared connection to the Order. Arrowmen will participate in fun activities, provide service to camp, and engage in sessions focused on how we can better live the OA values — Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service — in our home units and communities. Whether you are seeking to learn a new skill, looking to provide service, or simply wish to enjoy the fun and fellowship with your brothers, you will find your place walking “Hand in Hand” with us.

Our unity is our greatest strength. We reaffirm that the lodge succeeds only when we stand together “Hand in Hand.” From sharing a meal to planning our major service projects for the year, every moment of the Winter Fellowship reinforces the truth that we are one lodge, committed to the same mission. We look forward to seeing you, ready to lend a hand and share the symbolic handclasp that binds our hearts together. Register now and help us build a brighter future for the Arrow!

Program Highlights

Winter Fellowship is more than just a weekend away – it’s an opportunity to reconnect with friends, make new memories, and kick off the year with energy. Our schedule is carefully crafted to balance impactful service and training with high-energy activities and fellowship, ensuring there is something for every Arrowman to enjoy.

Here is some of what participants can look forward to at the event.

Activities

Our program committee is hard at work planning some amazing activities for everyone at Winter Fellowship. Check back later for the list of what Winter Fellowship has to offer.

Training

Winter Fellowship will feature a dedicated hour of training on Saturday morning with classes focused on ceremonies, Elangomats, leadership development, and more.

The full list of training session opportunities will be available soon.

Service

Service is a pillar of the Order of the Arrow. While Winter Fellowship is a time for fun and brotherhood, we remain dedicated to our commitment to cheerful service. This event provides us an opportunity to give back to the camp and ensure it remains a premier destination for Scouts throughout the year.

What to Expect

We have built in a dedicated hour of lodge-wide service directly into the Saturday program. During this time, there will be no other activities or meetings planned. This is a time for everyone to come together in service.

We know there are always those Arrowmen who enjoy spending extra time providing service. Additional projects may be available throughout the weekend during open program time. Reach out to our service team at [email protected] for more information.

Project Details & Equipment Needs

Our service committee is currently working on preparing the project list for the weekend. Specific projects and any equipment needs will be posted here as the event approaches. Be suer to pack your work gloves and clothes so you are prepared to lend a hand.

Auction

On Saturday, the lodge will host both a silent and oral auction, featuring a variety of Scouting memorabilia, patches, and other items.

Whether you are looking for a new patch for your collection, new gear, or just to support the lodge, there is something for everyone.

Why Your Bids Matter

All proceeds from the Winter Fellowship auction go directly to the Jim Vitus Leadership Development Fund. This fund provides vital scholarships for our Arrowmen to attend training opportunities, such as the National Leadership Seminar (NLS), helping to develop our future lodge leaders.

Donations

We are seeking items in new or lightly used condition. To ensure a successful event, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

We want to appeal to a broad audience. Consider donating camping equipment, tools, sporting goods, experiences (tickets, gift vouchers, etc) in addition to patches and memorabilia.
Please remember – this is an auction, not a garage sale.
We currently have an abundance of coffee mugs and books. Please direct the specific items to other Scouting organizations or thrift stores.

How to Donate

Ready to contribute? You have two easy ways to get your items to us:

At the Event: Bring your items with you and drop them off at the auction area by the end of breakfast on Saturday.
Early Drop-Off: If you cannot attend or will be arriving after breakfast, please contact [email protected] to arrange a pickup or delivery ahead of time.

Bid high, bid often, and help us invest in the next generation of leaders!
