Michigan Crossroads and the Area 2 Project:

Because of severe declining membership and other fiscal considerations, in November of 2011 the nine councils of the lower peninsula of Michigan voted to create the Michigan Crossroads "Coordinating Council" that will administer four Field Service Councils:
  • President Gerald R Ford FSC (Nataepu Shohpe Lodge)
        Gerald R Ford Council (Nacha Tindey #25)
        Scenic Trails Council (Indian Drum #152)

  • Water and Woods FSC (Agaming Maangogwan #804)
        Lake Huron Area Council (Mischigonong #89)
        Blue Water Council (Chickagami #180)
        Tall Pine Council (Cuwe #218)
        Chief Okemos Council (Gabe-Shi-Win-Gi-Ji-Kens #374)

  • Southern Shores FSC (Kishahtek Lodge)
        Southwest Michigan Council (Nacha-Mawat #373)
        Great Sauk Trail (Manitous #88)

  • Great Lakes FSC (Noquet #29)
        Great Lakes Council (Noquet #29)
As of Summer 2012, these councils are in transition, and the earliest lodge mergers won't happen until after NOAC.

I myself have seen materials that prior to April that mention a "Greater Michigan Council," which must have been either an earlier name or a temporary designation, before deciding on the name of Michigan Crossroads. However, the 12/15/11 article "Transitioning From The Area Project!" clearly uses the name Michigan Coordinating Council.

As the President Gerald R Ford Field Service Council #781 was formed Feb 1, 2012, it follows that the MCC, as well as the other FSC would've been effective as of that date as well.
