YOUTH CHAPTER MEETINGS
The Wilawi Chapter OA invites youth members to attend our monthly meetings on each first Monday at 7:30 p.m. at the LDS Church, 30 Woodside St, in Manchester. Plans are discussed for unit elections, ordeal weekends and other OA activities.
Whether you are an elected OA representative from your troop, or an individual member, this is an opportunity to participate and improve the chapter.
Meetings are held at the same time and location as the adult leaders roundtable meeting, but in a separate room, and boys often ride with unit adults.
