West Goes East... Far East!
OKINAWA
– The National Leadership Seminar was hosted at Okinawa
on February 16 – 18, 2007. Arrowmen from
throughout the pacific came to join in brotherhood and learn what it takes to
become a better leader. Not only was
this a great experience for the arrowmen to increase their leadership skills,
but it also served as a chance to create and strengthen friendships. Overall, the event was a success.
The
Awaniko Chapter of the Order of the Arrow hosted the
annual Klondike Derby over at Kin Blue Beach
on Okinawa.
During this event, the arrowmen ran the sled race (which was
approximated to have been about ¼ mile), performed the flag ceremonies, and
conducted the campfire. The campfire was
concluded with the Awaniko Chapter ceremony team
performing the callout. Although there
were some minor last minute difficulties, the callout was an overall success
and the chapter is looking forward to the new membership.
