Committees

Helping the Lodge Succeed

Committees are groups of arrowmen that join together to accomplish a certain task much more efficiently than it could be done by one person. All arrowmen are encouraged to join at least one committee, but you can be in as many as you wish. To join a committee, just contact the chairman through email or phone or just speak to him at a Lodge event.
