Chief’s Welcome

Hello Wiatava!

My name is Rykyn, and I am honored to serve as your 2026 Lodge Chief!

Our Lodge is built on the commitment, service, and brotherhood of its members, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead such a dedicated group of Arrowmen. This year, I am looking forward to strengthening our brotherhood, expanding opportunities, and creating Lodge events that are engaging, welcoming,and purposeful for members at every level of involvement. I know that 2026 will be full of fun, fellowship, leadership, and cheerful service!

I am excited to work alongside our officers, advisers, and most importantly, you, as we continue building a Lodge we are extremely proud of. 

If you have any ideas, goals, or hopes for the year ahead, I encourage you to share them. Wiatava Lodge belongs to all of us, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and serving alongside you in the months to come. 

Thank you for your commitment to the Order of the Arrow. I cannot wait for what we will accomplish together this year! 

Welcome to Wia-java: Brew Brotherhood. Blend Fellowship. Pour Cheerfulness.
