Black Eagle Lodge Fellowship at Camp Freedom

Transatlantic Council's own Black Eagle Lodge is hosting its Fall Fellowship at Camp Freedom in Germany from the 16th to the 18th of September. This will be a major event for the order with an Ordeal for the newly eligible candidates. If you attended Camp Alpine or Camp Avantura BSA this year, you might be eligible. Sign up at the link below to attend.

There will also be opportunities for members of all ages and levels as well with a brand new patch set, a Brotherhood ceremony planned, along with the Lodge and Achwon Woapolanne Chapter, the chapter that serves and supports the Edelweiss District, holding elections for new youth leaders.

It will also be possible to vote online for youth members who won't be in attendance in-person. This will be coming out soon and wrapping up before the in-person voting ends.

We are not exempt...

The Program Supply Center is not exempt from the global supply chain issues that exist. Likewise, our supplies are not exempt either, as they rely on sources of materials from throughout our global economy.

So what? Plan ahead related to your supply needs. We do our best to maintain an appropriate inventory of items in anticipation of your needs, but sometimes we “guess” wrong and place orders upon receipt of your order. Other times… things just get delayed. We like to think we get it right most of the time and are able to fulfill your order in a timely manner.

For those who attended Camp Avantura BSA, you know that we are still anxious to receive the neckerchiefs and patches that we ordered months ago. These will be mailed to the point of contact for the unit’s camp reservation when we receive them. Extra neckerchiefs will be available for sale on the website.

So plan ahead, order as far in advance as possible, and thank you for your patience.
