Conclave-Wide Activities
There are two conclave-wide activities that Arrowmen can participant in throughout conclave, put on by our special events committee.
The Clothespin Game
In the Clothespin Game, participants will start the game by going to the Special Events Booth and receiving several clothespins to sign with their names. The goal is to discreetly attach a clothespin to each of the designated Special Events staff members without being noticed. If a staff member catches you in the act, you must take your clothespin back and try again. Successfully placing a clothespin on every designated staff member will earn you a special prize from the Special Events booth, but the challenge lies in remaining unnoticed while completing the task.
Adventure Challenge Spirit Award
Complete the requirements below to earn beads. When you have at least 15 beads, you earn the Spirit Award! Make sure to get the initials from the appropriate staff member to get the beads.
Evening Show
Join us for the evening show on Saturday night as we bring the weekend to a close. The show will feature a theme show, keynotes from the section chief and region chief, presentation of the Arrow of Honor award, and more.
The Outpost
Conclave is a busy and packed weekend and we understand it can be overwhelming at times. Need a place to just chill and unwind? Check out The Outpost, and new addition to conclave this year brought to you by our Admonition committee! The Outpost is located near the dining hall and is just a place where you can chill and get away from the hustle and bustle of conclave.
