2008 Leadership Development Conference
Our OA Lodge will be conducting its fifth annual council-wide Leadership Development Conference (LDC) on Saturday November
22 at La Salle High School (11199 S.E. Fuller Road, Milwaukie, Oregon). LDC 2008 is aimed at Boy Scout troop and patrol leaders
between the ages of 13-17 and preferably First Class rank or higher. Participants do not need to be members of the Order of
the Arrow. Registered Scouters are also welcome and encouraged to attend.
This youth-led OA-sponsored leadership conference offers exceptional training in a one-day event, bringing together our best
youth instructors from throughout our Council. The conference reinforces critical leadership skills including how to build more effective
teams, improve communication and planning skills, and motivate others to achieve success. Cost is only $10 for the day, which
includes lunch. Go to www.cpcbsa.org/register to learn more and get your unit leaders signed up today. You can also contact our
Lodge Adviser Brad Harris at brad@oa-442.org (or phone 503-539-8921) for more information.

serve basis. Contact Brad Harris for more information (brad@oa-442.org).

OA Unit Visitations and 2008 Elections
Our OA Chapter Leaders will be contacting all Boy Scout troops and teams in the coming month to schedule annual unit visitations.
During these visits to one of your regularly scheduled Boy Scout unit meeting, we’ll be conducting OA unit elections to recognize
those eligible youth who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law as candidates to the Order of the Arrow. Our chapter youth
will also be able to help promote scout camping, especially to encourage greater participation in long-term camping next summer.
Please contact your district Chapter Adviser for more information and to schedule your OA election.
Order of the Arrow 2008 Dues Renewal
Each year, Arrowmen are reminded to renew their annual membership with the Lodge. Your $10.00 dues sustains annual operations
for the Lodge, covers individual National OA renewal fee, and helps the Lodge provide significant financial support to our Council
each year. Membership is based on the calendar year, with renewals due January 1st. The Lodge relies on everyone to stay current
by paying on time either through their units or directly at the Scout Office. OA members can pay annual dues online at www.
cpcbsa.org/register.
Save 2009 Dates for the OA
As units are developing their 2009 planning calendars, our Lodge wants to remind all OA members to save January 23-25 for
our Native American Arts and Ceremonies (NAACS) weekend, and March 13-15 for our Rendezvous of the Order annual fellowship.
