Illini Lodge 55

Charlie M is elected as the New Lodge Chief

Congratulations to Charlie M of Troop 1 in Champaign on his election as Illini Lodge Chief for the 2024-25 year. Charlie is a dedicated Life Scout where he has demonstrated exceptional leadership in his troop, serving as Senior Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, and OA Troop Representative. In 2024, he was recognized as the Counselor in Training (CIT) of the Year for his outstanding dependability and contributions across multiple program areas. As Ordeal Chairman during the 2024 Inductions year, Charlie successfully oversaw the induction of nearly 50 new Arrowmen. Charlie’s commitment to leadership extends beyond his troop, as he is set to serve on staff for the 2025 National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) and will be attending the Order of the Arrow National Leadership Seminar in Indianapolis in March 2025. We look forward to his continued leadership and contributions to Illini Lodge!
