Begun in 2011, this event is a Native American weekend sponsored by the lodge and is open to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and all other programs. At the event there are vendors, Native Americans, drumming, dancing, singing, and plenty of activities and training sessions to satisfy any number of interests. Our final YNAW was 2025.

New members are inducted during Ordeal weekends at STSR. Members are invited to attend the Pre-ordeal, Ordeal, and Brotherhood ceremonies (the latter in the March Ordeal). Service projects are carried out throughout the weekend by candidates and members alike. The Make-up Ordeal helps the summer camp staff prepare for the upcoming summer camp season.

Activities begin at STSR on Friday night with a cracker-barrel. The events involve chapter competition, consisting of pure fellowship and fun. An evening campfire is followed with games, patch trading, and more. It’s a great opportunity to convert to Brotherhood if you haven’t already done so! 

On the Wednesday nights of Summer Camp, all Arrowmen are invited to join us at STSR for ice cream, games, and other festivities!! 

This event is very similar to the Spring Fellowship. It is usually held at STSR in September. It features various training sessions in addition to other activities. It’s another great opportunity to become a Brotherhood member. 

Training is provided each year for recently elected Lodge and Chapter officers to provide them with the skills and knowledge to do their job. This training is also open to aspiring future leaders of the Lodge. Other training opportunities include National Leadership Seminars and Section Seminars. Participation in those events is limited and must be approved by Lodge Advisers.

Here, we gather the vigils of Yustaga Lodge, as well as Vigil candidates recognized at Fall Powwow. This is a one night event, and occurs after LLD. 

Late in each year, the Lodge holds a banquet to recognize members for accomplishments, announce the Youth and Adult Arrowman of the Year and Founder’s Award recipients, and to install new officers. The dinner is typically a catered meal with a special guest speaker presenting on topics as varied as leadership, Native American history, High Adventure trips and what the OA has meant to them.
