About Fall Fellowship 2026

Please come ready to present your Scouting America Medical Forms (Parts A and B), as well as a copy of the Tschitani Lodge Code of Conduct signed by you and a parent/guardian (if under the age of 18).

Officers must make a reasonable effort to attend all Lodge events, and to represent the Lodge by following the Scout Oath, Scout Law, and OA Obligation.
