Notes

On January 1, 1997 the National Office reorganized several sections within the Southern Region, with changes taking effect after the 1997 conclaves.
Nawakwa 3, Blue Heron 349, and Wahunsenakah 333 from SR-7 were reunited with Tutelo 161, Shenandoah 258, and Shenshawpotoo 276 from SR-6B to form SR-7A. The ten Carolina Lodges of SR-7 were split with six comprising the new SR-7B, and three joining SR-5.

The Conclave theme of “Rekindle the Flame” was especially appropriate as the six Virginia OA Lodges were reunited in the same section for the first time since 1993. The first conclave of the new SR-7A was hosted by Tutelo Lodge 161 at Camp Powhatan, the site of the last conclave the Virginia lodges shared as members of Section SE-8 in 1993.
