The lodge's fall induction weekend was held on Ocotber 8-10, 2010 at Camp Russell in Woodgate, NY. During the weekend 29 ordeal candidates were inducted and six ordeal members were converted to brotherhood membership. Some of the service projects completed on Saturday included; transplanting trees from the Conservation Area to the end of the parade field, winterizing the winter lodge and staining numerous tent platforms. One notable occurecne at this induction was the fact that the pre-ordeal ceremony was performed from memory without any scripts or other aids which has not been done in many years. Overall this induction was extremely successful for Ga-hon-Ga lodge and the lodge's membership would like to welcome our new brother's.
