The Encampment Branch of Odd Fellowship is built on the basic tenets of Faith, Hope and Charity.
These are represented by three pillars.
The first Pillar represents Faith, with Faith as our companion, we steadfastly pursue our tasks confident that our labors will eventually be rewarded.
The second pillar represents Hope. Hope is the handmaid of Faith. It cheers the soul in every hour of distress, it borders every cloud with a silver lining , and at last conducts with serenity to the portals of death. It has a throne in every bosom and a shrine in every heart.
The third and last pillar represents Charity. Charity is the greatest of all. It is the best and brightest of all virtues. It's influence can lead to repentance, love and kindness.
The insignia of the tent represents our journey to enlightenment.
Through the teachings of the order we discover kindness, generosity, courtesy, humility, unselfishness, good temper, guilelessness and sincerity.
