The Conclave 2.0 Guidebook is a collection of resources for section and lodge leadership to look over and review in preparation for an upcoming section conclave. This guidebook aims not only to include templates, ideas, and tools for general section use, but takes time to detail high-quality communication and promotion techniques for a conclave.
Ideas and feedback are always appreciated to make this guidebook a living, breathing resource for all Arrowmen. Feedback and questions can be left here.
The Importance of Conclave
Along with the National Jamboree and the National Order of the Arrow Conference, the section conclave is one of the largest events an Arrowman can participate in. The conclave is a chance to both entertain active Arrowmen and reactivate Arrowman that have disengaged with the program through offering a national event in their proximity.
However, conclave youth attendance is generally stagnant or declining. That is why it is important, more than ever, to plan conclave to the fullest extent. That is why we have developed Conclave 2.0! It is here to serve as a starting point for your conclave experience.
We understand that section leaders fulfill a huge role, and we are here to support you! This toolkit gives some recommendations and resources for many different aspects of a good conclave. However, the greatest resource for planning conclave is an open and creative mind! Don’t be afraid to try new ideas and explore the path less traveled. This is merely a starting point for your conclave planning!
