Welcome New
Members!
Welcome to Wihinipa Hinsa Lodge! Take some time to explore this site
then make sure you visit the National Order of the Arrow
Jumpstart site
for new Arrowmen. It will help you to understand more about the OA.

Camporee!
Karankawa's Challenge 2008 was a great
success. Congratulations to the Grand Prize winning patrol, the
Shardvarks from Troop 464.
Everyone had a lot of fun and I
think it ran much smoother with the Scoutmasters running the events. I
think the scouts learned more because the Scoutmasters have more
experience. Also, Mrs. D cooked some wonderful home made chili for our
frito pie.
Next year should be even bigger.
We need to get started on promoting it now so that when the troops have
their yearly planning they can put Karankawa's Challenge 2009 on their
calendar. Let's make next year even bigger and better than this year.

Summer Camp 2008
Make '08
GREAT!
The Lodge was very active at Summer Camp 2007. There were about
28 OA members on staff. A great showing by the LODGE! As an active member of the lodge you can support the camping
efforts of our Council and what better way to do that then to serve on
Summer Camp Staff in 2008. Talk to your Chapter Chiefs and Chapter Advisers
about serving in 08. Talk to your fellow troop members about serving.
Any registered scout meeting the staff requirements is eligible. So, come
on out and spend a fun week with your fellow Arrowmen.
Talk to your troops about attending summer camp at Karankawa.
Many merit badges were offered and an "excellent" time was had
by all!
