The Maine Elks Association Roaming Elk Committee is pleased to report that on December 6, 2025, ten Brunswick Elks joined the Bath Elks lodge in enjoying Bath’s annual Jingle Jam event to deliver Christmas cheer to less fortunate neighbor families, as well as to help welcome MEA President Corey Dewitt and First Lady Joleen for their official visit to Bath. In the process the Brunswick members re-captured Rocky – once again. The Coastal District Trophy can now be captured from the Brunswick Elks Lodge #2043 at a future meeting or event.
As Brotherly Love is one of the four great principles of the Order, the Roaming Elk program was instituted in 2011 as a way for members to have fun traveling to another Lodge in their district to attend events or Lodge Meetings. For a Lodge to capture the trophy in their district, they must have five members of that Lodge travel to a Lodge that holds the Roaming Elk Trophy and attend an event at which they must participate or attend a Lodge meeting. They must remain at the Lodge for at least one hour to capture the trophy. If more than one Lodge attempts to capture the trophy at the same time, the Lodge that has the most members in attendance will take the trophy home. If the number of members is tied, then the Lodge that traveled the furthest will claim the trophy.
