Mergers and Changes:

Westchester-Putnam and Hudson Valley merged to form Greater Hudson Valley Council #388.
According to their Facebook page, the new council is located at the former Hudson Valley Council office in Newburgh, NY. However, its official website only provides a mailing address in Mohegan Lake, NY. Because these two locations are almost 40 miles apart, time will tell if they move to a location closer to or matches a mailing address.
Effective: Jan, 2021
Reference: Greater Hudson Valley Council's website, Greater Hudson Valley Council's Facebook page

Heart of New England moved from Lancaster to Rutland sometime between November 2020 and Feb 11, 2021. The new office is located at the entrance to Treasure Valley Scout Reservation.
Reference: First instance of this address found in webarchive of council's website

2020:

Sometime after 12/28/19, but before 3/29/20, Del-Mar-Va Council closed their Wilmington office, relocating to Akridge Scout Reservation in Dover.
Reference: Earliest date for new address found on archived council's website

On June 1, 2020, the Chief Logan District, consisting of Blair County, was transferred from Laurel Highlands Council to Juniata Valley Council (expand map). This brings Juniata Valley Council to five counties: Centre, Mifflin, Juniata, Huntingdon, and now Blair counties.

It is reported that they are currently the Chief Logan Chapter of Monaken 103, but that there are "rumblings" that they would like to change the name to Wopsononock. This alludes to the old Wopsononock Lodge #347, that used to cover Blair and Bedford counties.
Reference: Matthew Coll, Monaken Lodge #103

Mayflower Council moved from Marlborough to a new service center in Milford, MA. This also allowed them to close their satellite office in Canton.
Effective: 10/5/2020

2019:

Iroquois Trail Council moved from Batavia to Oakfield, NY:

"Next month there is an open house and grand opening celebration for the Iroquois Trail Council's new headquarters in Oakfield, just north of Batavia. Thank you to all the donors of funds, materials, and time who have made this possible. It's exciting that the Scouts and Scouters of the Council finally have their own space for training, the Scout Shop, and administration in a location near the center of our sprawling 5-county Council.

On Saturday, December 14th we had our open house and ribbon cutting ceremony. As Bob Confer said, 'home is where the heart is. It's good to finally have a home.' Thank you for everyone's big hearts that made the day and the headquarters possible."
Effective: 12/14/2019

2017:

New Heart of New England Council

Mohegan-Nashua Valley merger
that was voted down in 2015

In September of 2018, Mohegan and Nashua Valley Councils in Massachusetts merged to form Heart of New England Council #230. It has kept the former council service centers in Worcester and Lancaster, MA. This merger was originally proposed Jan. 2015, but was voted down by Nashua Valley. However, as Jay Schnapp predicted, they did try again. (see below)
Reference: Heart of New England Council website
- Grand Monadnock 309 and Pachachaug 525 subsequently merged to form Catamount Lodge. No number has of yet been mentioned.
  Effective: Oct 20, 2018
  Reference: Catamount Lodge website
- In January, "the boards of directors of both councils recommend a merger of Mohegan and Nashua Valley Councils to be implemented during the 2015 calendar year."
  Reference: Recommendation of the Mohegan/Nashua Valley Council Executive Boards.
  Thanks to Bro. Andrew Kosmowski for notifying me about this change.
  
  Update: However, Jay Schnapp reported that "The vote of the council memberships took place in late January. In Mohegan, the motion passed unanimously. The motion was defeated in Nashua Valley by a vote of forty-something to thirty-something. They will probably try again in another year or two."

"On Saturday, October 21st [2017], leadership of the Tisquantum and Chippanyonk Lodges assembled to discuss their futures together. Aided by submissions from Arrowmen across the Mayflower Council, they choose this new name [Tantamous Lodge]". They do not appear to be using a lodge number.
Reference: Announcement by Ryan Palmer & Tristan Niedzielski, Lodge Co-Chiefs

As shown on their first lodge flap, they have chosen the number 223. Thanks to Tom Payne for pointing this out to me!

"Word at the Chippanyonk Banquet (04/29/2017) was that the Lodges will attend conclave separately (in adjacent camp sites) and the new Lodge will hold its first banquet on January 8, 2018. Other timing is still being determined with intentions for the Lodges (youth officers) to work together in a 'friendly consolidation' effort. Name, totem and number (or not) also to be determined."
Reference: J. Groves
- "On March 29th, Knox Trail Council and Old Colony Council announced approval of their merger. They have now completed their 'listening sessions' and have started a Scout Executive search. May 1st will be the official first day of the new council, but a name has not been determined (via a name-the-council contest)."
