1958 Area 3A Conference

1958 Area 3A Neckerchief
In 1958, the lodges of Area 3A met at Camp Trexler, in the Poconos in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The conference was hosted by Pohopoco Lodge #44; this was the first meeting hosted by Pohopoco and the first held at Trexler.
This was also the first Area 3A meeting at which a neckerchief was issued; the neckerchief was red with a white silk-screened design and a white chain-stitched border. The drum design is identical to the neckerchief issued in New York State for the 1957 Area 2H Conference (which is itself very similar to the neckerchief and patch from the 1956 Area 2H Conference).
Because the neckerchief was the only item issued for the 1958 conference and the first 3A neckerchief, it is highly sought after and fairly scarce.
The 1958 3A Conference was the first area meeting for Nentego Lodge #20, which had been chartered the previous year to re-establish the Order of the Arrow in Del-Mar-Va Council after a long hiatus. From 1958 through 1969, Area 3A consisted of eight lodges:
- Unami 1
- Minsi 5
- Nentico 12
- Nentego 20
- Octoraro 22
- Ajapeu 33
- Delmont 43
- Pohopoco 44
