The Ordeal was very well attended by 53 Arrowmen and 70 candidates. Arrowmen of Wek-Wek did a great job of providing leadership, ceremonies, and a lot of cheerful service for this Ordeal.

On this Memorial Day, we remember Eagle Scout Scott Barnett, from Muir District’s Troop 1994, who was killed in action in Tallil, Iraq, on January 28, 2010.

Rest in Peace!

]]> http://gazette.wekwek.org/?feed=rss2&p=111 0 Now is the time for all good Arrowmen to come to the aid of their Apanuc! http://gazette.wekwek.org/?p=109 http://gazette.wekwek.org/?p=109#comments Wed, 05 May 2010 01:32:29 +0000 Adviser http://gazette.wekwek.org/?p=109 April was an exciting month to be a Scout, and especially to be an Arrowman. The NorCal Jamboree was amazing, and I know I’ll never forget it. Ut-In Sélica Lodge held a Fellowship / Lodge Banquet at the newly renovated Camp Herms, and here in the Muir District, our Campfire / Call-Out was a great success.

But we are hosting the June Ordeal at Wolfeboro, and we we still need lots of help. Our Ceremonies team has been working hard on their costumes and memorizing their lines. We are in dire need of adults and youth to serve as Elangomats and help in the kitchen. We need adults who can take charge of the kitchen or serve as advisers for ceremonies and Elangomats.

If you would like to participate in some brotherhood and cheerful service, please join us at our next Apanuc meeting, this Thursday, May 6th at 7:00 pm, at the LDS Church on Denkinger Road. I’ll bring the pizza.

The favorite activity was the car bash. Click on the picture for the photo album.

April will also be full of opportunities for fun. Come to our Apanuc meeting on Thursday, April 1st, and you’ll be in for a great surprise (no fooling)! And we’re still working on Indian costumes and practicing ceremonies.

Camp Herms is the place to be on April 10-11, as Ut-In Sélica Lodge hosts a combined Fellowship and Lodge Dinner. Check out the newly renovated facilities at the camp, and join us in some cheerful service, brotherhood, and a lot of fun.

And if you haven’t heard, 2010 is the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, and to celebrate, there will be a huge Northern California Jamboree held at the Alameda County fairgrounds on April 15-18. You’ll be so sorry if you miss this one.

On Monday, March 1st , we’ll be holding a Troop Election for Troop 429 at First Christian Church in Concord.

Ut-In Sélica’s Chiefs’ Council will meet on Wednesday, March 3rd, at the MDSC Service Center.

  • Sean Defreze, Troop 1994
  • Andrew Woo, Troop 317
  • Chris Jungenberg, Troop 317

    • Congratulations to these Eagles!

You can red their proposal here: http://wekwek.org/assets/proposed_bylaws.pdf.

    The Lodge Chiefs’ Council will vote on them Wednesday night, February 3rd, so if you have any questios or concerns, contact your Apanuc Chief before Wednesday night!

    We’re also starting to get requests for Elections, so we need to create some election teams.

    If you’d like to join in, gather up all of your regalia and costumes, and join us at our regular Apanuc meeting, on Thursday, December 3rd at 7:00, at the LDS Church on Denkinger Road.

    ]]>     http://gazette.wekwek.org/?feed=rss2&p=79 0     November in the OA http://gazette.wekwek.org/?p=77 http://gazette.wekwek.org/?p=77#comments Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:08:44 +0000 Adviser http://gazette.wekwek.org/?p=77 We have a lot going on this week.

    Ut-In Sélica Lodge has asked us to switch Ordeals for the coming year, so we, along with Sam-Yeto Apanuc, will be hosting the June Wolfeboro Ordeal instead of October. When you went through your Ordeal and Brotherhood ceremonies, you probably noticed that it was a lot more impressive when the Ceremonies team had their act together. So, we need to start working on our Ceremonies team as soon as possible.

    Next Saturday, November 7th, is a work day at Camp Herms. If you can spare some time for cheerful service, go check it out.

    If you went through your Ordeal in 2008, or any time before that, you are eligible for Brotherhood. And, as luck will have it, Ut-In Sélica will be hosting a Brotherhood class and ceremony at the Herms work day.
