Effective Jan. 1, 1973, the New Section Operation consolidated the Twelve Regions into Six. The new regions were divided into areas and subdivided into sections. It was at the new sectional level that lodges participated in annual conclaves.

Region 11 (not including Montana), Region 12, and Hinode Goya 498 from Region 13 were combined to form the new Western Region.

  • The lodges of Hawaii met one final time as Area 12-H in 1973-- the event patch issued was erroneously marked 12-G-- at Schofield Barracks on Oahu, and was hosted by Pupukea Lodge #557. Soon after, Kamehameha 454, Pupukea 557, and Achsin 565 in Guam merged to form Mokupuni O Lawelawe Lodge #567. With the addition of Hinode Goya 498 from the Far East Council in Region 13, 12-H was renamed W-3C.
