The complete list of activities will be in the Official Fall Pow Wow Program Guide which will be published in early October 2021.

Campfires

Fall Pow Wow will kick off Friday night with an entertaining and interactive opening campfire show. At this show, Arrowmen will also have a chance to meet all of those who are running for a lodge officer position. Saturday night, the main campfire will be a time of fun and laughter, as well as a chance to hear the announcement of the 2022 Colonneh Lodge officers. Following the Saturday evening show, there will be the annual Vigil Honor call-out.

Scouting Safely

The BSA's Commitment to Safety is ongoing and we want you to know that the safety of our youth, volunteers, staff, and employees cannot be compromised. The Boy Scouts of america puts the utmost importance on the safe and healthy environments for its youth membership. The Sam Houston Area Council takes great strides to ensure the safety of its youth as well as the adult volunteer leadership that interacts with them. 

BSA Guide to Safe Scouting policies must be followed. All participants must follow Youth Protection Guidelines at all Scouting events. Highlights include:

• Two-deep leadership on all outings required.
• One-on-one contact between adults and youth members is prohibited.
• The buddy system should be used at all times.
• Discipline must be constructive.

Health and safety must be integrated into everything we do, to the point that no injuries are acceptable beyond those that are readily treatable by Scout-rendered first aid. As an aid in the continuing effort to protect participants in a Scout activity, the BSA National Health and Safety Committee and the Council Services Division of the BSA National Council have developed the "Sweet Sixteen" of BSA safety procedures for physical activity. These 16 points, which embody good judgment and common sense, are applicable to all activities.
