On March 21st, the Southern Region announced the details on the 2008 realignment. The current seven areas will be redrawn into nine, for a total of eleven sections (up from ten). The realignment will take effect at the conclusion of each section's 2008 conclave.

2008 Southern Region Realignment Sections

2008 Area Map showing Area 2 (orange) separated by Area 3 (green)

Because of certain area management responsibilities, Area 2 in Texas will be split into eastern (Tejas, NeTseO Trails, Caddo Area, and Norwela councils) and western halves, separated by Longhorn (Ft. Worth) and Circle Ten (Dallas) councils in Area 3. Since these two areas aren't contiguous, an east-west boundary line will divide the combined areas into two new sections, S-2/3 North and S-2/3 South. Wahinkto 199, whose council is in Area 2, will be in 2/3 South, and Mikanakawa 101 and Nishkin Halupa A Pe Lachi 489, whose councils are in Area 3, will be in 2/3 North.
