Grand Patriarch's Information Page
There are other units of the Order known as Encampments. This is open to any Third Degree member. This organization within Odd Fellows confers three additional Degrees - The Patriarchal, Golden Rule and Royal Purple Degree - on its members. The membership of each Encampment is usually drawn from several Odd Fellow Lodges in an Area.
The LEA or Ladies Encampment Auxiliary is open to any Rebekah Sister and usually meets on the same night as the Encampment. The Degree for Matriarchs is based in Faith, Hope and Charity.

ENCAMPMENT PERSPECTIVE
I am a Patriarch!
I believe in the Fatherhood of "God" and the Brotherhood of man;
I believe that the watchwords of our Order, Friendship, Love, and Truth, are stronger when
supported by Faith, Hope, and Charity;
I believe that working within my home, my religion, my society and my Encampment to promote
the teachings of our Order is my main objective;
As I work with others in every endeavor, I must always remember and practice the Golden Rule.
Knowing the perils of the Rough Road, it is my duty to encourage trust, toleration, assurance, and
assistance whenever possible.
I am a Patriarch
