Section Conference 2008
Section Conference is an annual OA weekend hosted each year by one of the eight Lodges in Section S-4S. It is the third largest event for the Boy Scouts of America; the only larger events being the National Scout Jamboree and the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC). At this event, the eight Lodges in our Section compete in the Best All-Around Lodge Competition. The competition measures each Lodge's success over the last year. Lodge development, growth, and overall program all play a major roll in the success of our Lodge. This year, I am proud to say that Aal-Pa-Tah Lodge #237 of the Gulf Stream Council, BSA was declared the Best All-Around Lodge for Section S-4S. Thank you to all of the Arrowmen who helped by writing articles for the competition notebooks.
