Section History

In September of 1948, Area B, Area C, Area D, and Area W-- which covered New York and New Jersey, were combined to form Region 2 as part of the 1948 integration into the twelve scouting regions.

Section did not meet between 1950 and 1952.

Half Moon 28 was moved to Area 2-D in 1953.

In 1959, Ranachqua 4, Shu-Shu-Gah 24, Suanhacky 49, Man-A-Hattin 82, and Aquehongian 112 moved to Area 2-J. However, as the first official Area 2-J conference wasn't until 1960, they continued to attend Area 2-A events.

In 1964, Area 2-A gained the six lodges (Iaoapogh 286, Aheka 359, Ken-Etiwa-Pec 362, Minisi 449, Oratam 484, and Oleleu 515) from the defunct Area 2-F.

Nooteeming 443 was moved from Area 2-A to Area 2-D in 1964.

Skanondo 64 was moved to Area 2-H after 1964.

Shinnecock 360 and Buckskin 412 were moved to Area 2-J in 1965.
