I need to show councils with disbanded lodges that either rechartered with a new name OR merged into a council with existing lodge. I also need to correct boundary for SW Warren Co. when re-drawing maps for Region 3.

The old Area E, and Area F-- which covered Pennsylania, Maryland, Virginia, and DC-- were combined to form Region 3 as part of the 1948 integration into the twelve scouting regions.

Area 3-A (1949-52) at least 26 lodges/34 councils Eastern Pa. Lodges: Maryland Lodges: Unami 1 Nentico 12 Minsi 5 Guneukitschik 317 Susquehannock 11 Wyona 18 (dis '51) Virginia Lodges: Octoraro 22 Nawakwa 3 Ajapeu 33 1953: Koo Koo Ku Hoo 161 (nc) 7/5/51: Swatara 39    └ Ne-Pah-Win 161 Delmont 43 Shenandoah 258 Pohopoco 44 Shenshawpotoo 276 Ah-Pace 58 Blue Heron 349 Monaken 103 6/18/1951: Powhatan 456 Memeu 125 7/5/1951: Kecoughtan 463 Acahela 223 3/12/52: Amanquemack 470* Quekolis 316 9/25/52: Chanco 483 Wapsu Achtu 343 Tiadaghton 384 Tuckahoe 386 6/19/1952: Tunkhannock 476

Area 3-B (1948-53) Western Pa. Lodges: Wagion 6 Eriez 46 Kuwewanik 57 Anicus 67 Sagamore 130 Ah'Tic 139 Unalachtigo 168 Chimalus 242 Ho-Squa-Sa-Ga-Dah 251 Cornplanter 255 (dis 1/50) Deer Rock 256 Wopsononock 347 7/20/1949: Packanke 419 9/8/1950: Amadahi 441 6/18/1951: Allegewi 455 7/29/53: Shingis 497 Summer 1953: Indiana 275

Reference: lists published by National, "Area, Area Leaders, and Lodges" (5/13/1949) and "Organizational Pattern and Local Lodge Listing, 1952"

The 1953 Area 3-B conclave booklet lists "Indiana Lodge," a new lodge attending its first area meeting that August. It became Hopocan 275 after being officially chartered 3/9/54.

Dave Scocca has created a very slick animated map from Youtube that shows the boundary changes for Region III.

• Between 1953 and 1954 Area 3-A experienced several realignments. First, Nentico 12 and the Virginia lodges split off to became Area 3-C by 1953:

• After the 1953 conference, northeastern Pennsylvania became 3-D, and by 1954 central Pennsylvania became 3-E. Southeastern Pennsylvania and the Delmarva Peninsula remained as 3-A:

• At the 1953 3-B Area Conference at Twin Echo, there were 620 attendees from 16 lodges. Up to that time, this was the largest Area Fellowship Meeting ever to be held-- larger than all but four National Meetings.
  Reference: Dick Wilson, National Secretary, as reported in that event's newsletter.
  
  After the conference, Area 3-B was divided into Areas 3-B and 3-F. A nice bit of trivia: this split nicely corresponds to the old 814 (3-B) and 412 (3-F) telephone area codes:
  
  

  Old Area 3-B

  Eriez 46 Ah'Tic 139 Ho-Squa-Sa-Ga-Dah 251 5/29/1960: Gyantwachia 255 (nc)    └ 1/1/1954: Chief Cornplanter 255 1960*: Skanondo Inyan 256 (nc)    └ Deer Rock 256 9/70: Nachamawat 275    ├ Hopocan 275 (from 3-F)    ├ Wopsononock 347    └ Amadahi 441 Packanke 419 Allegewi 455		Wagion 6 Kuwewanik 57 Anicus 67 Sagamore 130 Unalachtigo 168 Chimalus 242 Shingis 497

  
  
  
• Chief Cornplanter changed name to Gyantwachia Lodge #255, possibly to differentiate from their council's name (Chief Cornplanter).
  Effective: 1/1/54
  
  
• Deer Rock 256 changed name to Skanondo Inyan 256 (Colonel Drake Cncl).
  Effective: *After the 1959 Area 3-B Fellowship, but before it hosted the Area III-B Conference. So, it was most likely chartered Jan 1, 1960
  Reference: the 1959 Fellowship booklet lists Deer Rock Lodge 256, while the 1960 booklet lists Skanondo Inyan Lodge

• Wopsononock 347 and Amadahi 441 merged with Hopocan 275 in Area 3-F to form Nachamawat Lodge #275 in 3-B.
  Effective: Sep., 1970

  • William Penn (Hopocan 275), Admiral Robert E. Peary (Amadahi 441), and Blair-Bedford (Wopsononock 347) merged to form Penn's Woods Council #508 in Windber, PA.
    Effective: 1970
  
  
  Historical note: "On December 29, 1949, a meeting convened at Alpine Scout Camp in northern New Jersey to plan the 1950 NOAC at Indiana University. In attendance were members of the national committee, as well as nine of the newly elected area conference chiefs, one from as far away as Texas. These young men met to discuss what they thought should happen at the next NOAC, and they elected Dick Wilson of [Chimalus 242] in Area 3-B, Washington, Pennsylvania, as the first National OA Conference chief."

  • Mercer County Council changed its name to Custaloga Council #531, of Sharon, PA.
    Effective: 1969
    
    Located in northwestern Pennsylvania, this council-- as well as French Creek Council-- also covered the small community of Brookfield Township right across the border in Ohio. All region and council maps that I have seen prior to the 1973 Six Regions depict the Ohio-Penna. border as a region boundary. However, I do not know how far back this Brookfield Township coverage goes. The most significant map of this era was in 1965, and did not include Ohio. Until I have more information, I will work under the assumption that this occurred as part of the council name change in 1969.
    
    
    • Eriez 46 merged with Ho-Squa-Sa-Ga-Dah 251 and Skanondo Inyan 256 to form Langundowi Lodge #46.
      Effective: Aug, 1972. At their first official event (Fall Conclave) in October of that year, they picked the new name and totem, the Iroquois Tree of Peace.
      
      
      • Washington Trail (Eriez 46) merged with Custaloga (Ho-Squa-Sa-Ga-Dah 251) and Colonel Drake (Skanondo Inyan 256) to form French Creek Council #532 in Erie, PA.
        Effective: 1972
    
    
    
  • Unalachtigo 168 merged with Packanke 419 to form Kuskitannee Lodge #168.
    Effective: 5/12/1973
    
    
    • Pioneer Trails (Unalachtigo 168) merged with Lawrence County (Packanke 419) to form Moraine Trails Council #500 in Butler, PA.
      Effective: 1973

  *Amangamek-Wipit 470 was originally chartered in March, 1952 without a name or totem. In June 1953, the first lodge name "Amanquemack" was obtained in a telephone conversation with a Delaware Indian language expert at the Smithsonian Institution. The lodge name was interpreted as "large fish"; there was no word for shark in the language. In late 1955, additional research was done on the lodge name. It was discovered that the word "Amanquemack" had been written down incorrectly in the original telephone conversation with the Smithsonian. The correct spelling was "Amangamek". The word for tooth, "Wipit", was added to complete the lodge name which first appeared in early 1956.
