OA Section List: 2023 Gateway Region Realignment

1993 - 2021

1973 - 1992

1949 - 1972

1938 - 1948

In late July 2023, the Gateway Region announced a realignment, reorganzing and optimizing from 24 to 23 sections, effective August 1, 2023:

"When the Order of the Arrow (OA) realigned sections following the elimination of the regions and areas and establishment of territories in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), it was anticipated that the OA would need to revisit the section alignment approximately 18-24 months later. Certain circumstances slowed an overall revisit of section alignment; however, some realignment proved necessary in Gateway Region.

As a result of council mergers in the western portion of the country, several OA sections as drawn in 2021 now have only two OA lodges. To provide a robust section program, a larger number of lodges is needed to create a critical mass of members to deliver effective section programming and support to local lodges.

The following realignment will take place to address the current needs of the Gateway Region:"
