2007 Brooklyn Council Camp-O-Ree & Brotherhood Day

Brotherhood

Shu-Shu-Gah Lodge joined together with the Brooklyn Council on the weekend of April 13-15, 2007 to run the Council Camp-O-Ree. This year we also ran our brotherhood induction on the same weekend. Brothers helped man competition stations and ran a Call Out Ceremony for the first time in many years to recognize those scouts who had been elected to our order.
