Important Safety Notice
Recently several of you may have received an e-mail allegedly from our past
lodge Chief claiming that he was the victim of an armed robbery in
West Africa. Please be assured that the only thing that Andy is a
victim of is having his e-mail account password stolen. If you recently
received an e-mail asking for money or information, do not reply to the e-mail
under any circumstances.
Nigerian e-mail hoaxes are a very real and very dangerous threat.
Aside
from all of the money that people are tricked out of every year, many people
even end up losing their lives or are never heard of again as a result of these
scams. Below is a link to a Federal Bureau of Investigation website.
Please take a moment to review the information on Nigerian e-mail scams and the
very important tips on how not to become a victim:

Your safety is important to us. Not just at lodge functions, but all
the time. When using the internet, please be safe and use common sense.
Since this event has affected many of our Scouts, we are taking steps to report
the incident to the proper authorities.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact one of the Wagion
Lodge advisers and we will do our best to help you.
Thank you,
Denny Kinzel, Lodge Adviser
Kyle Bryan, Lodge Staff Advisor
Dan Wright, Associate Lodge Adviser

About our web site
Welcome
to these web pages dedicated to Wagion Lodge #6, Order of the Arrow
and the Boy Scouts of America. The Order of the Arrow is a special
program within the Boy Scouts. Its principal purposes are to honor
scouts and scouters who exemplify the scout oath and law, promote
camping, and to build habits of helpfulness in young men.
Boy scouting itself is geographically divided into local councils.
Depending on the population density, a council might be the size of a large
city, or a large portion of a state. Each council has its own OA "lodge".
The purpose of the lodge is to support that council and its camping
program.
This web page is dedicated to the 6th oldest lodge in the nation!
Wagion Lodge is part of Westmoreland-Fayette council, located in
South-Western Pennsylvania. Wagion is very proud of it's 85 years of
heritage.
