CONTENTS

The foundation for the 2016 Fort Steuben Scout Reservation program began the moment Scouts arrived for summer camp last year. We listened to suggestions made by the Scouts, Adult Leaders, Staff, and Parents throughout the summer in an effort to make our program more relevant to today’s scouts while offering even more opportunity and excitement in 2016 than ever before.

The 2016 summer camp season will see the addition of 13 new merit badges as well as exciting new evening program options. In 2016 Fort Steuben will offer a total of 55 Merit Badges, 2 new BSA Programs, Unique opportunities for older scouts, and an evening program unlike any other. Some of the highlights for 2016 season include:

• 13 Eagle-required Merit Badges• Mountain Boarding• 40th Anniversary of the Logan’s Honor Program• New Merit Badges such as Game Design, Communications, and Sus-

tainability

Our 2016 program is centered on 5 key subject areas: Citizenship, Lead-ership, Conservation, STEM, and Physical Fitness. Many of our new merit badge offerings and supplemental programs reflect this philosophy, which we believe will help create a more inclusive atmosphere in which every scout can find something they are interested in. The Nature Center program, for example, reflects William T. Hornaday’s ideas of what it means to be conservation minded, while the Sports Center embodies the philos-ophy that a scout should be physically strong, mentally awake, and moral-ly straight.

Finally, it is our intent that this guide and our website be a source of ref-erence for you, your family, and your unit throughout the year as you prepare for the summer. We are committed to making your pre-camp planning experience as easy as possible and will be providing additional resources as the summer approaches. Please take the time to read this guide carefully, as some of our procedures may have changed from previ-ous years.

We look forward to working with each of you in the months ahead as we draw closer to the summer.

Camperships

The Ohio River Valley Council, aided by local donors, provides a campership fund to help Scouts in financial need pay for camp. Camperships cover 1/3 to 1/2 of the camper fee, so if a scout in your troop is unable to pay for camp due to financial hardship we encourage you to submit a campership application to the ORVC Service Center by April 1st, 2016.

Provisional Camping

The Provisional Camper program allows Scouts to participate in Fort Steuben’s program when their troop isn’t at camp. This program is perfect for Scouts who can’t attend with their unit or for Scouts that wish to come back for another week. Provi-sional camping applications can be found in the appendix of this guide or at the ORVC Service Center.

CAMP FEESFort Steuben Scout Reservation believes that every scout should have the opportunity to attend summer camp. To help achieve this goal, we have kept our camper fees as low as possible and are proud to say we offer one of the most competitively priced programs in the area. There are three price deadlines for camp fees this year:

Early Bird (paid by May 2nd): $235Regular (paid by June 1st): $250Late Fee (paid after June 1st): $275

We encourage parents and units to take advantage of the Early Bird program, not only because it reduces costs for your scouts, but because it helps ensure access to some of the more popular programs and helps us be bet-ter prepared to offer you the best program possible.

“A week of camp life is worth six months

of theoretical teaching in the meeting

room.”

-Lord Baden-Powell

Adult Leader Fees

The base adult fee will be $150. There is no early bird discount for adult leaders.

Scoutmasters will be able to attend with their unit, free of charge. Units that bring 2-10 youth are eligible for a free adult, while units that bring over 10 youth will be eligible for 2 free adults.

Refunds & Transfers

While individual camp fees are gen-erally not refundable, they are trans-ferable from person to person within a troop. If something comes up and a camper cannot come to camp, we encourage you to see if there is anoth-er scout in the troop who would like to go to whom the camper fee can be transferred. Individual refunds, wheth-er full or partial, will only be granted by the Camp Director only for excep-tional circumstances. The Camp Di-rector may authorize a full, partial, or no refund for requests due to serious illness or family emergency. A written refund request detailing the circum-stances must be submitted to the Camp Director in order for a refund to be considered.

Second Week

Want to come back for a second week? Any Scout wish-ing to attend for a second week is more than welcome to return. We will place him with a troop that is attending that week or in the provisional camp. Fees for 2nd Week camp-ers are $175.

Siblings

Due to the limited space available in camp sites and the need to establish the particular setting of a scout camp, non-registered siblings are not permitted to stay with the unit. However, we also understand that family circumstanc-es may not allow an adult leader or scout to attend without a tag-along. If arrangements must be made to accommo-date non-scouting youth during your stay, we request that you make the arrangements with the camp administrative staff prior to your unit’s arrival at camp.

GETTING TO FORT STEUBEN SCOUT RESERVATION

From US 250: US 250 will follow the shore of Tappan Lake. On the southern end of the lake turn onto a causeway road (Harrison Co. Road 55) crossing the lake. The intersection is clearly marked by a large sign for Tappan Lake Park. Follow CR 55 for 5 miles into Deersville, Ohio. From Deers-ville there are two ways to get to camp:1. On the west side of Deersville look for camp signs at the intersection of CR55 and a very

wide dirt road (Adams Road). Adams Road runs for 6 miles all the way into camp.2. In Deersville, turn left on CR 21 at the intersections with a stop sign. A small sign on the

telephone pole at the corner is marked ‘Scout Camp’. As you follow this road you will come to the beginning of another causeway, just before which there should be a dirt road marked with a camp sign on the right hand side. You can follow this road into camp.

From I-70:On I-70 in Belmont County take SR 800 N. at the Barnesville (202) Exit. Follow 800N through Freeport, Ohio. Approximately 1 mile north of Freeport you will take the right fork at a Y-in-tersection onto US 799. Stay on US 799 for 6 miles, then turn left onto a dirt road marked with a Scout Camp sign. Following this dirt road will take you directly into camp.

HEALTH AND SAFETY AT FORT STEUBEN

Annual BSA Health Form

The BSA requires a physical evalua-tion be completed annually for both Scouts and Adult Leaders attending summer camp. A health form signed by a licensed Health Care Provider and dated within 12 months from when the camper will be attending camp must be on file at the camp’s medical facility. The form is good for 1 year through the month in which the form was completed. For example if a scout has a form filled out in July of this year that form is good for all scouting activ-ities through July of next year.

The safety and well-being of our campers is our top priority at Fort Steuben. To ensure your campers are receiving the best medical attention we maintain a health office at the center of camp, where we have a quality, trained Health Of-ficer on call 24 hours a day to handle any emergency that may occur during your stay.

Medications

Only refrigerated medications, injectable medications, and controlled substances are required to be stored at the Health Lodge with the Medical Officer. Other medications will be kept by the unit leaders with a medical log and lockable container to use for storing the unit’s medica-tions. It is the responsibility of the unit leader to ensure the timely distribution and logging of all medications given to members of the unit.

Units may request a lock-box for secure storage of medica-tion if a trailer is not kept in the campsite.

Medications can also be dispensed by the Health Lodge, by request of a parent or guardian of the scout. However, the unit leader will remain responsible for ensuring all camp-ers receiving medication from the Health Lodge arrive and take the medication.

Any medications distributed by the Health Office for your unit must be turned in during Sunday Check-in. Medi-cation should be placed in separate containers for each scout, including instructions for dispensing (how many, when, through what method, etc…). We ask that campers bring only medication being taken under a physician’s di-rection. The medications must be in the original container and clearly marked with the contents, dosage instructions, camper name, and camper’s unit number.

MERIT BADGESAT FORT STEUBENThe merit badge system is the core of BSA advancement, and as such it is the foundation for our daily program. Merit badges are designed to introduce scouts to new skills, experiences, and knowl-edge in a variety of different subjects, and at Fort Steuben we believe we have a duty to offer a di-verse selection of quality merit badges to reflect this purpose. Our merit badge selection has grown to 55 classes, and is offered in fields such as Ecology, Aquatics, Sports, STEM, Outdoor Skills, Shoot-ing Sports, and Citizenship.

This year we are employing an online registration system that will launch in early 2016. We under-stand the registration process can be overwhelming at times, so we encourage you to contact us with any questions you may have while registering. For your convenience, we have also included some tips and tricks to help you avoid the most common registration mistakes and to help make sure your unit has the best possible experience at Fort Steuben:

• Although merit badges are an essential part of the camp experience, we also provide a host of other experiences throughout the week. Don’t overburden yourself with merit badges, and be sure to leave time for other fun activities during the week – or even just time to sit back and en-joy your campsite.

• Merit badges are supposed to reflect your interests and abilities. Try to register for merit badg-es that are best suited to you and your interests. Many younger scouts find the merit badges offered at Handicraft to be fun and engaging, but many find it difficult to grasp the concepts explored at Eagle University.

• Many merit badges have prerequisites, which will be detailed later in this guide. We highly en-courage campers to complete these requirements so they can complete the merit badge by the end of their stay with us. Even if your merit badge doesn’t have any prerequisites it always pays to be prepared. We recommend that a scout purchase and read their merit badges books prior to coming to camp, or at least be familiar with the requirements of the badge by the first merit badge session.

THE FORT STEUBEN WATERFRONTThe waterfront at Fort Steuben has always been one of the most popular areas on camp and is sure to continue bringing fun and excitement to campers this year. At the waterfront scouts can earn several merit badges, enjoy open swim-ming and boating in the afternoons, or climb to the top of our popular ‘Jungle Joe’ inflatable mountain, which is returning for its second year.

As always, safety is our top priority here at camp. Our waterfront staff employs a number of techniques to keep the area safe, and all guests of the camp are required to abide by these safety procedures. Any guests wishing to use the waterfront during their week at camp will be required to take the BSA Swim Test, after which they will receive a Buddy Tag that will be used whenever you are at the waterfront. Further de-tails on how the Buddy Tag system works will be provided upon your arrival at camp, when your Unit first visits the waterfront.

Finally, if you plan on taking merit badges at the waterfront, we recommend that you bring swim-ming trunks, shoes that can get wet, and an ex-tra towel or two. Goggles, nose plugs, and other swimming aids are encouraged for any who wish to use them.

Please keep in mind that every waterfront badge involves extensive time in and on the water, and passing the BSA Swimmer’s test as a swimmer is required for all badges.

THE NATURE CENTEREcology and Conservation are at the heart of our Nature Center program at Fort Steuben. With nearly 500 acres of forests filled with Flora and Fauna, the program here is all about getting out-side and learning about the natural world and all of the things it does for us – and what we can do for it. Merit badges here focus on the obser-vation and study of the natural world and on the impact that humans can have on it.

“The wild things of this earth are not ours

to do with as we please. They have been giv-

en to us in trust, and we must account for

them to the generation which will come after

us and audit our accounts.”

– William T. Hornaday

William T. Hornaday AwardThe fundamental purpose of the Hornaday Awards program is to encourage learning by the participants and to increase public awareness about natural re-source conservation. Understanding and practicing sound stewardship of natural resources and environ-mental protection strengthens Scouting’s emphasis on respecting the outdoors. The goal of this awards program is to encourage and recognize truly out-standing efforts undertaken by Scouting Units, Scouts and Venturers, Adult Scouters, and other individuals, corporations, and institutions that have contributed significantly to Natural Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection.

Fort Steuben Scout Reservation is proud to support the spirit of conservation represented by the William T. Hornaday program. This year we are offering all of the merit badges required to earn the Silver Award, and scouts who wish may work with camp administration to complete up to two (if returning for a second week) of the four required conservation projects while at camp. Scouts wishing to complete a service project should contact their local advancement chair for more information on what a Hornaday Award-caliber project would entail.

World Conservation Award

The World Conservation Award provides an opportunity for in-dividual Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers to “think globally” and “act local-ly” to preserve and improve our environment. This program is designed to make youth members aware that all Nations are closely related through natural resources and that we are interdependent with our World Environment. By completing the merit badges listed below, scouts can qualify to wear this patch on their uniform:

Creativity and skillfulness are hallmarks of the Handicraft program. If you like to make things with your hands, come up with games to play, or love being behind a camera then Handicraft is the program area for you. The merit badges here are perfect for scouts of any age or experience level, and many of them will have you create works of art you can take home to show your family at the end of the week. Even without prior experience, many Handicraft badges can be started and completed during your stay at camp, but as always it is important to be prepared for the class by reviewing merit badge requirements and reading the merit badge book prior to your arrival at camp.

All Scouts taking Handicraft merit badges should remember to bring extra money to purchase craft supplies at the Trading Post. Costs for each badge are detailed below.

SCOUTCRAFTOne trademark of the Boy Scout program is our knowledge of how to live outdoors. Scoutcraft is where Scouts can learn skills that are essential to life in the outdoors, while developing essential leadership and teamwork skills. From cooking meals over a fire, to building your own survival shelter (and sleeping in it overnight), Scoutcraft is sure to ignite the inner survivalist in anyone.

Most of the merit badges offered at Scoutcraft are perfect for Scouts with a little more experi-ence and who enjoy working outdoors. Many of them require hard work and completion of prerequisite requirements in order to earn them at camp so it is highly recommended that scouts taking these merit badges have the prerequisites done by the time they arrive at camp.

Returning for the second year at Fort Steuben, the Sports Center is all about Physical and Men-tal fitness. Learn the ins and outs of athletics in America – from both a player’s and official’s per-spective with the only double merit badge class offered at camp: Sports & Athletics. If you prefer something less physical, try our Fishing class, or sharpen your mind against opponents in our Chess merit badge. The merit badges offered at sports are perfect for scouts of all ages, provid-ing a mix of challenge and fun, and most can be completed during your stay at camp.

EAGLE UNIVERSITYEagle Univeristy is ideal program area for old-er scouts looking to work towards their Eagle Scout award. Eagle University offers the largest selection of Eagle Required merit badges of any program on camp. Most of these badges focus on Citizenship and Leadership, while a few focus on scouting skills such as First Aid. Because of the nature of the badges being taught in this area, we encourage Scouts to wait until their 3rd year before beginning these badges, but will welcome all who come. Be prepared to work hard before camp arrives, as the majority of these merit badges require prerequisites to be completed before the badge can be finished at camp.

SHOOTING SPORTSMerit Badge Pre-Req Special Notes

Rifle $10 Cost

Shotgun $15 Cost

Archery $5 Cost

One of the many highlights of a Scout’s expe-rience at summer camp is the opportunity to shoot a Rifle, Shotgun, or Bow. While shooting comprises the majority of the time spent on the Range, every Scout who participates will go through a safety course taught by our National Camping School certified Safety Instructors and is supervised at all times while on the shooting range. Because of the nature of these types of programs and the risks they involve, we strongly recommend that only scouts over the age of 14 be allowed to take these. However, as always, we will welcome any Scout whom the unit leaders and parents believe can safely participate

It should be noted that all of these Merit Badg-es have additional fees associated with them, which help offset the program’s ammunition costs.

TRAILBLAZERThe Trailblazer Program was designed by our own Bill Kulstad, a registered Speech Pathol-ogist and 30 year veteran of the Ohio public school system, as a way to introduce first-year Scouts to the excitement and adventure at Boy Scout Summer Camp. Scouts who participate in the program will spend the week working on requirements for Tenderfoot through First Class ranks in the morning, while the afternoon will see them earning merit badges at Handicraft and Aquatics. By the end of the week, scouts in the program should be nearly done with all of the requirements for Tenderfoot through First Class and have earned a few merit badges in the process.

The highlight of the Trailblazer Program is the overnight camp out on Thursday. Trailblazers will meet before dinner on Thursday and hike out to the overnight campsite. There, they will make dinner over the fire before settling in for a night of fun and games. In the morning, the Scouts will pack up and hike back into camp before breakfast on Friday.

Due to the large number of requirements in the Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks we cannot cover all of them the way they were meant to be. Attached you will find a list of requirements covered by the program, divided by rank.

THE CAMPSITEFort Steuben maintains and operates 10 campsites on property, all within a short walking distance of the Dining Hall and most program areas. Each campsite comes with its own unique feel and history and wheth-er it’s your 1st or 25th year coming to Fort Steuben, finding the right campsite for your unit is essential to the camping experience. However, each campsite is provided with the same amenities and service, listed below:

• Walled ‘A-Frame’ tents & platforms• A fully stocked latrine & running water nearby• Picnic tables and a dining fly

Each campsite is also equipped with an established fire pit. We encourage troops to have campfires in their site (with supervision) and will gladly provide the tools to make sure your campfires are kept safe.

“A Scout smiles and whistles under

all circumstances.”

- Lord Baden-Powell

THE FORT STEUBEN TRADING POSTThe Trading Post at Fort Steuben is the place to go for all of your camp purchases. The Trading Post is stocked with all of your summer camp essentials – including raincoats, water bottles, merit badge supplies, and even bags to carry everything in! If you fancy a mid-day snack, the Trading Post is also stocked with all manner of food supplies, including the ever-popular Slushes and Pepsi products. We also carry a selection of Fort Steuben memorabilia, including: T-shirts, Nalgene Bottles, Blankets, and even Stoneware dishes.

The Trading Post is also an excellent opportunity to learn budgeting and responsibility. We recom-mend that every scout bring $100, which should cover all of the scouts needs, with enough to bring home a souvenir commemorating their week with us.

THE DINING HALL EXPERIENCEFor 2016, Fort Steuben will be continuing to serve meals family style. Units will select 2 scouts per table as waiters to set up prior to, and clean up after the meal. Waiters should arrive in the dining hall 15 minutes prior to each meal, which will be signaled by the sounding of the first meal bell. Af-ter each meal, waiters will be required to wipe down, sweep and mop around each table and must be dismissed by the Dining Hall Steward.

During each meal, the Fort Steuben staff presents a program consisting of a mealtime knot, a song, and other activities to get scouts engaged and energized for the day of program.

Campers with special dietary needs should notify the camp at least three weeks prior to arrival. Notification can be sent via the camp email, addressed to the Health Officer or Camp Director. Noti-fications sent less than one week prior may not be able to be met upon arrival.

26

26

THE ADULT LEADER EXPERIENCEThe Adult Leader Experience begins every morning at 6:30am with a complimentary carafe of fresh-brewed coffee personally delivered to your campsite by the Camp Director. Throughout the day we endeavor to provide our adult leaders with plenty of activities to ensure our adults have just as exciting of a week as their scouts.

Adult Leaders’ MeetingsCamp leadership will host daily adult leader meetings at the Trading Post at 9:15am.

Open ShootAdult leaders will be given the opportunity to participate in open shoot throughout the week during select times at shooting sports. Adult leaders, like campers, must purchase rifle and shotgun shooting tickets at the trading post to participate. Archery is free of charge.

TrainingsAdult leaders will have the opportunity to take BSA training classes throughout the week, Monday through Thursday. All trainings are scheduled for 3:00pm at the waterfront, or at the chapel depending on weather. The announcement on location will be made at lunch.

Adult leaders must register for the training. A sign up sheet will be available at Breakfast the day of the train-ing.

The courses offered will be:• American Heart Association First Aid/CPR• Youth Protection• Trek Safely/Climb On Safely• Safe Swim Defense/Safety Afloat

Scoutmaster and Troop Service Projects Fort Steuben offers opportunities for adult leaders to volunteer their time to help maintain and beautify the camp. Leaders interested should meet Rob Sparks (Properties Director/Camp Ranger) at the maintenance building following breakfast.

Volunteer Commissioner Corps Any Scoutmasters or adult leaders with free time in the morning are encouraged to join the Commissioner in his daily campsite rotation. Each morning, the Commissioner will visit each campsite and “inspect them” on several criteria, and at the end of the week recognize the best campsites. Other adult leaders willing to help with this process can meet the Commissioner after the morning adult leaders’ meeting at the Trading Post. Most inspections are completed by 12pm each day.

Scouters’ Award Adult leaders who participate in each of these activities (one open shoot, one training, one service project, and one day serving in the Commissioner Corps) will earn the Scouter’s Award and will be recognized at the closing awards show.

Steak and Egg Breakfast If a unit is successful in bringing 85% or more of their registered scouts to camp, the adult leaders will be treated to a complementary Steak and Egg breakfast, cooked by the Scout Executive.

RELIGIOUS SERVICESFort Steuben encourages scouts to practice the 12th point of the scout law by attending one of our two religious services. When troops check in they will list a scout as their unit’s Chaplain’s Aide for the week; the Chaplain’s Aide will help the camp Chaplain plan the interfaith service for the week, say the prayer before meals, and work towards their Duty to God.

Services will be held Tuesday at 5:15pm. Catholic mass will be held in the Chapel, while the Interfaith Service will be held at the Ken Moore Pavilion.

FAMILY NIGHTFamily Night will be held on Wednesdays beginning at 5pm. Dinner may be cooked in the campsite, or your Unit can join us in the Dining Hall for a cookout dinner. Tickets for the dinner will be $8, and are avail-able for sale at the trading post. The Family Night Campfire begins promptly at 8pm, followed directly by the OA Callout Ceremony.

FISHING ON THE LAKEWhile fishing is an activity we encourage here at Fort Steuben, we ask that you follow scouting safety pro-cedures as well as our own camp rules when under-taking the activity. As always, you must use the bud-dy system when exploring the camp and the same rule applies to fishing. It is also important to note that our waterfront space is limited, and the lake is owned by the Muskingum Watershed. Therefore, a fishing license is required for anyone fishing over the age of 16 and is limited to the Fishing Trail so to keep hooks away from our designated swimming areas. Anyone fishing in the evening is advised to bring a flashlight in case of sunset; remember: “The sun always goes down just when you need it the most.”

ADVENTURE CREEK DAY TRIPBack by popular demand for 2016 is our Zip Line experience with our friends at Adventure Creek. As one of our most popular activities last year, we have brought back the program again for campers of all ages. Transportation and a bag lunch will be provid-ed. Be advised that there is an additional $30 partici-pation fee, and Scouts will miss at least their morning classes the day of the adventure. Scouts and parents will also have to fill out a waiver form, located in the appendices.

MOUNTAIN-BOARDING

Brand new to the evening program lineup this summer at Fort Steuben is the Mountain-boarding course. For those who may be new to the concept, Mountain-boarding is comparable to a combination of snow-boarding and skate-boarding that takes place on an all-terrain, sloped course. Scouts will be able to challenge themselves phys-ically by participating in the Moun-tain-board program while having a fun and safe time.

ACTION PAINTBALL COURSE

Whether you have never shot a paint-ball gun before or are an experienced paintball player, the Action Paintball Course will surely bring some excite-ment to your summer camp expe-rience at Fort Steuben. The course consists of five shooting galleries where scouts will travel among and fire at three-dimensional targets of various sorts. Scouts may sign up for an eve-ning time slot on the paintball course upon arrival at camp in the trading post.

BIKE PROGRAM

Last summer bikes were reintroduced to Fort Steuben, and we are pleased to announce that Campers of all ages are once again welcome to participate by either bringing their own bike, or renting one at the trading post. Rental fees are $10.00 for Sunday through Wednesday, and $15.00 for the en-tire week. Riding a bike is a quick and enjoyable way to travel between program areas throughout the day and also provides a leisurely way to enjoy the beauty of Fort Steuben. While having a good time at camp is import-ant, the safety of all campers is just as essential. For this reason, each partici-pant choosing to ride a bike must wear a helmet at all times, and also follow the FSSR bike rules which will be at-tached to every bike upon arrival.

PONTOON BOATING

Lake Clendenning will once again be the host of many exciting program pieces made possible by the Pontoon boat, rented from the Lake Clendining Marina. Scouts and Scoutmasters alike will have the opportunity to cool off on hot summer days on the pontoon boat by participating in adult leader trainings, fishing trips, and the always enjoyable pontoon boat luncheon.

LOGAN HONORS PROGRAMFor 40 years the Logan Honor program has served as a unique camp-er experience at Fort Steuben. Founded in 1976, the Logan Honor program supplements other camp programs by aiding in a Scout’s personal growth, leadership, and advancement through the scouting program.

The Logan program also exposes scouts to local history and Native American culture. The Logan Honor’s program culminates on Friday evening with a Native-American themed recognition ceremony, which honors the campers for their achievements and service throughout the week.

The Logan program also provides countless service hours to the camp throughout the year and is considered a cornerstone of the Fort Steuben Scout Reservation program. Out of council troops are encouraged to participate as well. For more information please contact our chairman of the Logan program, Kyle Crago, at kyle.d.crago@gmail.com.

THE ORDER OF THE ARROWThe Order of the Arrow (OA) is the National Honor Society for the Boy Scouts of America. The OA recognizes honored campers for their ex-ceptional leadership abilities, and for their service to scouting. The Ohio River Valley Council’s Onondaga Lodge 36 performs their call-out ceremony on Wednesday evenings at the family night campfire, where candidates for the OA are recognized in front of the entire camp. Onondaga Lodge also holds an Ice Cream Social for all members and candidates of the OA on Thursday evenings.

The Lodge provides outstanding service and countless volunteer hours to the camp through vari-ous events sponsored by the camp, council, and the lodge, and Fort Steuben Scout Reservation is proud to have Onondaga Lodge 36 as a strong part of our camp program. For any questions about the Order of the Arrow, contact Lodge Associate Advisor, Robert McCabe at macabe2005@frontier.com.
