Lodge Assistance Program

The Lodge Assistance Program makes available a section's extensive resources to help the lodges of the section. With the section's help, lodges will be able to provide better service to their councils and fulfill the requirements of the Quality Lodge Recognition program.

The assistance program encompasses two major elements, lodge visits by a section assistance team and use of the council of chiefs meetings to provide training. Through a system of evaluation and review, lodge leaders are able to interact and learn from experienced Arrowmen within the section. The lodge visits help identify the resources, training and guidance that lodges require to ultimately increase the service they provide to their councils.

Sections gain first hand knowledge of lodge strengths through the onsite visits. This in turn enables the section to prepare programs to meet the needs of the lodges, and provide them through conclave training and council of chiefs discussions and presentations. The Lodge Assistance Program uses the resources of the section to improve and strengthen the lodges. A task force has been established promote, evaluate and determine a best-methods approach of doing things for the lodge.

Sample Lodge Assistance Program Report Form

Downloadable in Microsoft Word format is a sample Lodge Assistance Program visitation report. This is to be used as a resource for Section Vice Chiefs in summarizing Lodge visitations. It is not, however, a complete and final report template. It should only be used in guiding a Section Vice Chief to creating and completing their own Section's unique reports.
