Cornerstone Conclave is a section-wide event where we invite all our members to join us in training and fellowship. During our annual Conclave, we have training opportunities available covering a wide variety of interesting topics. We also have fun activities for all our members, no matter their activity level, to participate. We are looking forward to having you join us at Robert E. Knox Scout Reservation in the spring! All Catawba Delegates MUST register with both the Section and the Lodge. Gear Pre-Orders are now closed, however Registration now closed.

As Arrowmen, we have an obligation. Camp Grimes needs a bit more help as they prepare for their 2025 camp season, and Catawba Lodge has 1 MORE opportunity for Arrowmen to show their cheerful service.
On May 10th, Catawba Lodge will be hosting Camp Grimes Workdays to support the effort to get our camp ready for the summer. As a service organization, it is our duty to give back to our council and camp. I urge all Arrowmen to attend at least one workday. Sign-ups for the May 10th workday close on May 9th at 11:59 PM. You can sign up here.
Those in attendance should plan to be at Camp Grimes by 9am with tools such as wheelbarrows, rakes, shovels, loppers, or bow saws if they have them. The workday will end at roughly 4pm.
Attendees must bring a copy of their health forms (2019 edition, parts A, B1, B2) and a copy of their insurance card. A copy has been attached for your convenience.

Join us May 16th - 18th to help Grimes set up for Summer Camp!
Held at Camp Grimes, our purpose is to help the council prepare for their summer programs. Both Arrowmen and Non-Arrowmen will have an opportunity to contribute to our council camp. This is appreciated by the summer camp staff members and is a great way to earn points for the Leadership in Service Award. Beaver Festival is also the first of the three Ordeal held each year to allow candidates to seal their membership in the Order of the Arrow. Brotherhood conversions are also offered.
The Ordeal is a weekend experience in which those elected as candidates to the Order of the Arrow and undertake a spiritual journey to discover the true meanings of leadership, service, and the Brotherhood of Scouting. The candidates go through two ceremonies, engage in service for the camp, and perform other service tasks.
