Why You Should go to Conclave
I think everybody whether they’re new to their lodge or have been involved for years should go to Conclave. Conclave was my first OA event, and it really made me want to become more involved within the lodge and scouts as a whole. I personally had a lot of fun because you can spend time with your friends in your own lodge as well as get to know people in other lodges The themes for Conclave are great and it truly makes the whole event a great experience. Plus, the camps where Conclaves are hosted usually have a lot of activities to do. Last year they had a climbing tower, a range, a bouncy castle, and more. Conclave is a great way to begin your journey in the OA. It may seem daunting because it involves our whole section, but it’s really not scary at all. Meet new people, make friends, have fun, and go to StrangerClave 2026.
