 General Information

What is an OA Section Conclave?

A Conclave is a gathering of arrowmen that is organized and planned each year by the section.  At a typical Conclave you will be able to learn a variety of new things in the training sessions that are offered.  You can meet arrowmen from other lodges and trade patches.  Lodges compete against each other in competitions, some of which you won't find anywhere else.  Conclave is also where section officers are elected.  You may even get to meet a national officer of the OA.  Three things that every conclave has are lots of spirit, fellowship, and fun.


Who should go?

All arrowmen should go to the W3S Conclave!  We welcome arrowmen of all ages from every lodge.  Even though it is the W3S conclave, we always enjoy having arrowmen from other sections as well.  There really is something for everyone.  If you are a new arrowman, don't be intimidated.  Once you come to one, you will be hooked!


When and where is it?

The 2012 Conclave will be held April 27-29 at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo in Fresno, CA.  It will begin Friday evening around 6 PM and end Sunday morning around 11 AM.
