Notes

The 1948 Area meeting was the first attended by Shenshawpotoo Lodge 276 and Blue Heron Lodge 349. Six Blue Heron Arrowmen received their Brotherhood Honor at this event which was hosted by Octoraro Lodge 22. A ceremonial team from Octoraro helped begin Blue Heron Lodge in 1946, traveling to Camp Darden to induct the first group of Scouts from Tidewater Council.

In 1948 this group was known as “Region 3, Area E” which included lodges from eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia.
