The Maine Elks Association Roaming Elk Committee is pleased to report that on January 20, 2026, five Bath Elks went to the Brunswick Elks lodge to enjoy an evening of Cribbage and in the process re-captured Rocky. The Coastal District Trophy can now be captured from the Bath Elks Lodge #934 at a future meeting or event.
(L-R) Brunswick’s Alisha Barter surrenders ROCKY to Bath members Kevin Hook, Blaine Wallace, Dawn Burton, Craig Johnson and Melinda Therriault.
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.
