OAS Flaps - Areas E, F, & III-B

From 1943-48, Western Pennsylvania was covered by Area F. Before then, the Area was called Area E, of which there is little known and with only one known event. In September 1948, Area F was renamed Area 3-B as part of the Order of the Arrow's integration into the BSA's twelve scouting regions.

1947 Area F meeting letter

The Sep. 1948 edition of the National Bulletin includes an article on the 1948 meeting held at Camp Twin Echo. While the program booklet and the patch issued for the event call it "Area F," the article specifically refers to it as the "Area III-b Fellowship meeting. This is because this event occurred immediately after the integration into the 12 BSA Regions was announced.

The article describes how the "delegates from Anicus Lodge hurried from the [1948] National Meeting [at Indiana University] directly to Camp Twin Echo of their East Boroughs Council of Wilkinsburg, Pa., to take up their duties as hosts for the Area III-b Fellowship meeting slated for September 4-5-6. This meeting had a registration of 365 Scouts and Scouters from 12 lodges in this area..." All subsequent 3-B events have been numbered from 1948.

Trivia: Camp Twin Echo was also the site of the 1940 National Meeting.

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.
So, by 1954 Area 3-B was split into Areas 3-B and 3-F:

Old Area 3-B

Area 3-B (1954-73)
