1953 Area 6-A Fellowship
Posted in 
The eight remaining lodges of Area 6-A once again met for their area fellowship in 1953. Lodge 188 rejoined their brothers from western North Carolina in Area 6-B. Though there have since been two lodge mergers, this area now covered the same geographical territory as today’s SR-7B.
This started a period of nearly 30 years during which there was no change in the composition of this section. These lodge would remain together in Area 6-A until the BSA reorganized its 12 areas into six regions. Then starting in 1974 these eight lodges formed SE-3A until 1982.
There was one patch issued for this event. The area went to a rectangular design for this year’s patch.
While not a common piece, I remember this piece as being surprisingly easy to find once I moved to North Carolina and attempted to collect this material.
