Far East gains the eastern part of Asia as well as Australia, New Zealand and the Indian Ocean sub-continent, basically doubling it's land mass.
Units and individuals in Canada will be managed by the Greater Niagara Frontier Council, I was told; while units in Central and South America will continue to receive service from the much smaller International Office at the National Center until a final decision is made as to which local Councils will gain their units and individuals. Right now, my pennies is on Sam Houston Area and South Florida Councils splitting up the territory. It is hopeful that a final decision will be made by the time All Hands start in Texas at the middle of this month."
Reference: Mike Walton, webmaster of The Badge and Uniform Site and 8/5/15 posting on Patch-LWhen this was reported on Patch-L, there was a bit of an outcry because this would conflict with Tonkawa Lodge's number (99). However, Alan McDonald, from Tomo Chi-Chi, clarified that that part of the announcement must've been an oversight, and that they weren't trying to adopt another lodge's number. However, the new lodge's adviser, who made the decision to use 99 in the first place, isn't going to budge. We can all thank National Council for this needless mess. However, as I haven't seen them use any number, I think that this is much more preferable than using Tonkawa's number.

"During discussions about the merger, assurances were given that the new council would fall under Area 5 (SR-5). Those assurances were used to encourage many members of Coastal Empire Council and Tomo Chi-Chi Lodge to support the merger. Yet, as soon as the ink dried on the paper, it was announced [in an April 15th [2014] letter from Coastal Empire Council's SE, Tom Cardiff] that the new council would fall under Area 9 (SR-9). I am told (source withheld) that this was the sole decision of Ponce Duran, The Southern Region Director."
Alan McDonald, from Tomo Chi-Chi, agreed on Patch-L "That came out of the blue and has really ruffled some feathers. SR-5 didn't want to lose Tomo, and Tomo didn't want to go to SR-9. The drive to the farther conclaves will almost be prohibitively expensive."

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.
