[...] A couple on months back, I posted on the 2008 Realignment of the Northeast Region of the BSA and its likely effects on the various OA Sections in New York.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â This was based on the original post on John Pannells site. [...]

I just received a forward of an email from the current NE-4C Section Adviser. The area realignment is effective July 1, and the 2008 NE-4C Conclave in mid-May at Broad Creek’s Camp Spencer will proceed as planned.

The new Area NE-6 will be subdivided into two sections, NE-6A and NE-6B, divided by the Mason-Dixon line (using the HQ city for the councils which are on the line). All four lodges in the new NE-6A are now in NE-4C, while the five lodges in the new NE-6B are coming from both NE-4A (three lodges) and NE-4C (two lodges).

NE-6A (south of Mason-Dixon line):
Nentico #12 (Baltimore Area Council)
Nentego #20 (Del-Mar-Va Council)
Guneukitschik #317 (Mason-Dixon Council)
Amangamek Wipit #470 (National Capital Area Council)

NE-6B (north of Mason-Dixon line):
Kittatinny #5 (Hawk Mountain Council)
Susquehannock #XI (Keystone Area Council)
Octoraro #22 (Chester County Council)
Wunita Gokhos #39 (Pennsylvania Dutch Council)
Tuckahoe #386 (York Adams Area Council)

The 2009 NE-6A conclave will be at Camp Snyder with Amangamek Wipit as the service lodge–I believe this is the same as in the current NE-4C conclave rotation schedule.

The location and service lodge for the 2009 NE-6B conclave have not yet been determined.

The territory covered by NE-3 is reminiscent of the territory of the many lodges that converged at Camp Cutler for the 1995 NE3-A/B Co-conclave. The only additions are Onteroraus and the territory of the former Kamargo Lodges.

I missed the following NJ lodges to NE-7
# 2 Sakuwit ==> to NE-7
# 9 Lenapehoking ==> to NE-7
# 43 Woapalanne ==> to NE-7
but these are leaving 2-C
# 313 Owaneco ==> to NE-2
# 427 Achewon Netopalis ==> to NE-2
# 553 Paugassett ==> to NE-2
Not sure how even that is. 427 is pretty small. Maybe NE-7 will be split.

I’ve got to believe that NE-7 is going to be split into multiple sections – either that or it’s going to be a HUGE section conclave.

NE-2B’s conclaves have been maxing out most of the available camps. I don’t think most of the old NE-2B lodges have a facility to host all of NE-7.

John,
Interesting moves, at first glance reunites the old Area 2-J lodges (metro NYC) and avoids 360 and 412 driving through Section NE-2C to get to the rest of their current Section (NE-2A). Couple of orphan NY lodges too.
Hmmm … I think I’ll post on how the new alignment effects the NY Lodges on my blog later today

Wow. I’d heard this was coming; some details I’d heard turned out to be correct, others not. It’s good to see Nentico back in a section named NE-6.

I believe this is the first time ever that Chester (Octoraro 22) and Philadelphia (Unami 1) will not be going to the same section conclave/area conference. But it’s kind of convenient for Baltimore and Del-Mar-Va, because Camp Horseshoe is on that side of thecouncil.

And area NE-5–in brown, South Jersey through Philadelphia and on into central PA–looks like a prime candidate for a split.
