The Black Eagle Lodge was able to hold its Fall Fellowship in Stuttgart in late September. Not only was it a long awaited in-person weekend, but it was also the 69th birthday of the Lodge. In addition to fun, fellowship, and service projects, numerous Ordeal, Brotherhood, and Vigil candidates were able to complete their ceremonies and be inducted into the Lodge.

Elections were held to elect new officers. Our new Black Eagle Lodge Chief is Geo Morris. He is joined by Vice Chief of Administration Sam Gray, and Vice Chief of Program Logan Schelly. A hearty thank you to outgoing Chief Alexander Holton for his service to the Lodge in very trying times. He did a great job holding the Lodge together while people were confined to lockdowns. Thank you Alex!

Backpacking, kayaking, mountaineering, and other high adventure trips can be incredibly fun and rewarding, however they come with inherent risks.

The first step is to complete the three parts of the BSA Annual Health and Medical Record (AHMR). After that its important to be honest with your provider and yourself on what you can accomplish. Know that several risk factors can exist ranging from asthma to seizures. If not don't fret, improve your fitness by training and exercising.
