Conclave 2009 & New Section Officers
Conclave 2009 was a grand success. Held at Camp Baker in Florence, Oregon, Camp Baker was last
host for Conclave 11 years ago in 1998, the last time we held a spring Conclave. 470 Arrowmen
joined together by this year's theme "Bound in Brotherhood, Separated Through Service" had
amazing fun, great food, awesome activities, brilliant ceremonies, spectacular shows, and a
fellowship to rival no other.
Section elections were held Sunday morning and Ben DeRemer was elected Section Chief,
Joshua Kupelian was elected Section Vice Chief, and Trenton Williams was elected
Section Secretary. This year's officer team is already in the works to create another stellar
Section W-1S Conclave.
Stay tuned to this site for more information about the 2010 Conclave to be held on September
10-12 at Camp Rilea in Warrenton, Oregon.
Section W-1A or W-1S?
You may have noticed that the Section W-1A Website has changed just a little bit, and the Section name has been
changed online to reflect the renaming of our Section. Previously we held the title of "W-1A" which was a designation
given to us because of our location in Area 1 of the Western Region BSA's geographical structure; and the letter "A"
as a generic means of diferentiating the sections (A, B, & C). Based on recent national realignments in the Regions,
all Sections in the Western Region have been realigned and/or renamed.
Our Section, previously W-1A, is now W-1S. We still remain in Area 1 of the Western Region, but are now given the
designation of "S" due to our southern location within Area 1.
