Area 4 Section Seminars:

From 1992-2001, and 2008-09 Section SR-4 held "section seminars", which were Fall gathering of the lodges that also included Council of Chiefs meetings. The Council of Chiefs meets all day Saturday and the other members of the lodges have seminars on Indian culture and other matters relating to the Order of the Arrow. It is my understanding that it is unique to S4 and one other section in the country.

In 2001 the section seminar was held at Camp Osborn (Immokalee Lodge 353) for the newly reformed and divided S4 section. In 2001 S4 was enlarged to include southern Alabama and west Florida and divided into south and north subsections. At that time Echeconnee 358 and Tomo Chi Chi 119 lodges were reassigned from S4 to other sections. The 2001 Section Seminar at Camp Osborn was the only section seminar ever held for all of S4 (both north and south). All 15 lodges of the new S4 and Echeconnee 358 and Tomo Chi Chi 119 (for a total of 17 lodges) were invited to attend. Consequently it was called the 'Great' S4 Section Seminar. SR-4S continued to hold Fall seminars from 2002-07, while S4N did not adopt the practice.

After the 2007 realignment, the new SR-4 held seminars for 2008-09.
