This is a convention of OA members (Arrowmen) from OA Lodges from the Blue Mountain Council and Lodges from the Yakima, Spokane, Boise, and Twin Falls area. This is a great time to meet Scouts from other areas, have fun at shows, games and other activities. Classes from Indian crafts to Lodge Leadership are provided. Attendees will camp out on the lawn. Food is provided. It is hard to capture in a paragraph, but Scouts who come to a Conclave have fun!

The LLD is annual leadership training for newly elected Lodge Officers and anyone considering Lodge office or Troop/Team leadership. This will be a Friday-Saturday or Saturday only event.
