Notes

This was the third Conclave for the Virginia Lodges in the new Eastern Region Section 9. Joining them from Maryland as a new member of the section was Guneukitschik Lodge 317, after the merger of their prior council (Mason-Dixon) with Shenandoah Council in 2023.

The 2024 SR-7A Conclave was the eleventh region/section gathering hosted by Blue Heron. Lodge 349 previously hosted Area 3C Pow Wows at Camp Pipsico in 1961, 1966 (called ‘Training Conference’ that year), and 1971.

In 1977 they hosted the SE-1 Conclave, in 1988 the SE-8 Conclave, and in 1996 the SR-7 Conclave. Blue Heron hosted SR-7A Conclaves in 2001, 2007, 2013, and 2017.
