Section NE-4B Gathering at NOAC
by Kenneth Hager, Section Chief
Traditionally at NOAC, our Section holds a “gathering” in which contingent members for our section get together for some fun and fellowship of their own. It is an excellent opportunity to meet up with your friends from across the section, trade some patches, get caught up on how your lodge has rocked NOAC so far, and of course time to sign the lodge songs.
This past summer, we held the first ever Section Gathering at the National Scout Jamboree. When some of the other sections from around our region heard about how we packed several hundred of our brothers into the dinning tent at sub-camp 4, they were extremely jealous they had not thought of such an event. I am hoping for another reaction of the same sort as our Section shows its pride at NOAC.
Currently, I am looking at holding the Section Gathering on Monday night immediately following the History/Recognition Show. All who come to this event will be able to indulge on pizza, pop, and other great snacks. Also, everyone in attendance will receive a packet updating them on what 4B has been up to at the Conference. The event should start late in the evening and last as long as our brothers want to stay up. In case of changes, your contingent leader will be kept posted on where the event will take place and if any other changes are made.
I am serving on Shows staff at NOAC and will be more than happy to help your contingent get situated at NOAC. Best of luck, and I hope to see you in Michigan!
