"Lehigh Valley" first appears as the city for Minsi Trails Council Arapaho I (1976), and its lodge, Witauchsoman 44, in Arapaho II (1979). However, Lehigh Valley the name of a region, not a city, town, village, unincorporated community, or even a Census Designated Place-- it is only used for PO Box addresses, similar to University Park. Councils of the Boy Scouts of America, by Edward Morse, 1981 is the latest documented source for for Bethlehem, PA. At some point, the council physically moved to Allentown, PA while still using the Lehigh Valley PO Box address. More research is need to document exactly when.
