Section E-16 Order of the Arrow

Baden-Powell Council BSA

Section E16 is raising funds to help keep the costs associated with running the section reasonable for all brothers who partake in Council of Chief Meetings, Section Training Seminars and of course Conclave. We also use the funds to send our officers to the regional Section Officer Seminar and the chief to the yearly national planning meeting.

About Baden-Powell Council BSA: Section E-16 is composed of four lodges spanning from Binghamton, NY all the way through Vermont! An Order of the Arrow Section consists of lodges within a geographic area of the region. Once every year, representatives of lodges in the section come together for a conclave to share in fellowship, skills, and training. In addition, the section creates a monitoring, and mentoring relationship with its lodges, provides leadership development opportunities, fosters understanding and adherence to national Order of the Arrow policies and procedures, and coordinates the Order of the Arrow's administrative and program functions. A section is led by three elected youth officers, the section chief, section vice chief, and section secretary, who are advised by an adult section adviser and a professional section staff adviser. Each year the fourty-five elected Section Chiefs are invited to a "National Planning Meeting" in Dallas, TX. The section chiefs form the conference committee for a National Order of the Arrow event, such as the National Order of the Arrow Conference, or the National Council of Chiefs, which are both held under the guidance of the National Order of the Arrow Committee.
