Bill Topkis writes:
"The reality is that starting as early as 1934, the integration into the BSA had begun. By 1946 it was a fait accompli, just needing final approvals. There are many references in National Executive Committee Meeting minutes (the immediate predecessor to the modern National OA Committee) regarding the advantages to the OA utilizing the BSA's 12 Region supply and alignment systems. I have seen in programs (such as the 1947 Tamet Lodge hosted Area Conference) references to 'Area U South.' So it seems the new system did not catch on right away, but the Order's growth as they were incorporated into National was too extreme to continue with the old system."

**At least two sources claim that Chiriqui 391 (Canal Zone Council) was briefly part of Region 12. Tom Tabb in his book Order of the Arrow History For Area U Section A / Areas XIIA, XIIE, & XIIF / Sections W4A, W4B, W4C, & W5A states:
"In 1945... Area U consisted of all lodges in Arizona, California, Nevada, and the Canal Zone." However, Chiriqui wasn't chartered until two months after the 1948 conference. At first, I simply ignored this, as Chiriqui was historically associated with lodges in Florida.
In fact, the initial 12 Region/Area assignments from National in 1948 listed 391 as "territorial", and then wasn't even included in National's 1949 List. However, Chiriqui was listed as part of Area XII-a in National's 1950 and 1952 "Organizational Pattern and Local Lodge Listings". Tabb also confirms Chiriqui was in 12-A in 1951.
Tracy Schultze's Area Conference History for 12-A specifically lists Chiriqui as part of 12-A from 1953-55. It also includes a copy of the the program booklet for the 1954 Area 12-A Conference, which confirms that Chiriqui attended Camp Bill Lane. But then, National Lodge lists for 1953 and 1955 place Chiriqui under "Extra-Regional." Perhaps it attended in 1954, or other years, as a non-member?
And then finally in 1959, Chiriqui began its long-time association with the lodges of Florida when it was moved to Area 6-E.

"The Nebagamon Lodge was charted in July 1955 and was disbanded by the end of 1957. It was rechartered again in Sept 1962 and Wipala Wiki conducted the ceremonies for the newly re-established lodge. The Nebagamon Lodge is listed as attending the 1961 12F Conclave. I would assume members attended to get the most recent info about the OA and the section. There were seven lodges at the conference. They were Victorio, Nebagamon, Chee Dodge, Na-Ko-Na, Wipala Wiki, Pang, and Papago."
Reference: James Arriola
*Victorio 177 was chartered in 1940, disbanded in 1951, rechartered in 1952. They disbanded again in 1955 before rechartering in 1961. Then in Feb 1964, Victorio 177 merged into Papago 494. Sometime during the late 60's or early 70's, Pang 532 was moved to another section.
