Lodge weekends might sound mundane, however, they are packed full of fun activities such as the Annual Hearts Tournament, a 237 Surprise, and much more...

Lodge Hearts Tournament

Held yearly, usually at Powwow, the Lodge Hearts Tournament is held to test the skill of card players of all ages. Taking place in the dining hall, scouts and adult leaders alike come to claim the Lodge Hearts Tournament trophy.

Free Climbs

Do you like climbing walls? If so, don't forget to find out if Free Climbs on the camp's climbing tower are available during weekend events.

Video Games Tournaments

Considered by some of the more tech-savvy members of the Lodge to be the highlight of the event, video game tournaments certainly test the skill and determination of Lodge members. Some of the tournaments include:

  • Halo 3
  • Call of Duty 4
  • Call of Duty World at War
  • Old School Games

So, make sure to check out the dining hall after the sun goes down for a night of plasma rifles and Sherman Tanks.

The 237 Surprise

For all those Lodge members who are, "night people," be sure to stay up until 2:37 AM to take part in what's called The 237 Surprise. What is it? It's a surprise!

Patch Trading

Considered by some to be the the purpose of life on earth, patch trading is something you will always be sure to find plenty of during Lodge weekend events. You won't have to look far to find someone with a binder or bag full of patches eager to get their hands on some more. So, be sure to bring all of your doubles, because you wouldn't want to miss out on the trading that goes on during these events.

Board Games

Are you apt in the ways of Chess and Risk? If so, be sure to check out the dining hall for challengers. Test you wit and determination going head to head with your fellow scouts in such games as:

  • Monopoly
  • Chess
  • Connect 4
  • Risk
  • And Many More
