The 2010 Section S-4 Conference was held April 16-18, at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation, outside Lake Wales, Florida.   Over 900 Arrowmen from the eight lodges of  eastern Florida and the three lodges of southern Georgia were in attendance.   This number was lower than for the last several Conferences (what the rest of the South calls “conclaves”), the number of traders appeared to be the same, especially on Saturday night, when several traders from Seminole 85, the host lodge, were able to swap their items.

The conference itself did not have one common design for all items; for the first time, three designs were used for the memorabilia created for the conference.   The pocket patch for those registered to attend is the same as used for the VIA (“Very Important Arrowman”) Luncheon and the host lodge pocket patch, the jacket patch available from the advance order form was of a different design.   The neckerchief, Vigil Breakfast,  and hat  pin utilized a third design, meant to reflect the Conference theme, “Pause  and Look You Back On Scouting”.   This design was also used for a second jacket patch, available at 5 PM on April 16, for $10 each (140 made).   This item is identical to the neckerchief patch, except larger.   The double-sided chenille design utilized the turtle that was also used on the first jacket patch.

For the fourth year, a golf tournament was held on the Friday morning of the Conference, with a patch available for participants.
