Croatan Lodge

Well it was a wild weather weekend starting out with sunshine in the morning, then getting an afternoon downpour.  Even with all of this, we were able to complete most of the tent preperations for summer camp.  In addition, we thank the 24 new members that went through their Ordeal this past weekend and assisted with preparing cots for camp.  We also had 10 members seal their membership in the order.  Congratulations to all with their dedication this weekend.  Hope everyone has a fun filled summer and a great time at summer camp, where ever that may be.  We will see ya'll back here in September to start the cheerful service off strong.

Calling all members.  If you have any photos or videos of ANY lodge events (ie: Ordeals, Fellowships, Conclaves) and you would like to share them, please email them to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Conclave is approching fast, but there is still time to sign-up.  The time is now to sign up for the biggest and best conclave in the nation!  We are using online registration through doubleknot for conclave.  Our new features include: Online trading post for memorabilia pre-orders, online health form, online sign up and payment options!

Spring Ordeal was a great success.  We inducted 89 new members and converted 34 to Brotherhood.  We could not accomplish this without dedicated members willing to serve as Elangomats.  This is a great start, but there are alot more lodge events still to come.  The Summer Ordeal in May is approaching fast and we are looking for another group of people to serve as Elangomats.  Remember guys, this is our chance to make a great first impression on our soon to be members.  We need highly motivated individuals, and we need volunteers soon.  If you or someone you know is interested in becoming an Elangomat or have any questions or concerns contact our Vice Chief of Inductions, Jack Kittrell, at 252-714-7786 or  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
