Sections that Susquehannock Lodge XI has been in:

Area III-A 1948-1953

In 1948 BSA adopted the Order of the Arrow as a national program. The country was organized in to 12 regions based on the geographic boundaries of the Federal Reserve System. Regions were divided into areas designated by letters A-H. Pennsylvania was in Region 3. Keystone Area Council and Susquehannock Lodge XI were in Area III-A. This lasted until 1954 when Area III-E was split off from III-A.

Effective January 1, 1973 BSA reduced the number of regions from 12 to 6. Pennsylvania became part of the new Northeast Region. Susquehannock Lodge became part of new Section NE-5B.

In 1975 the section was reduced from 7 to 6 lodges when Susquehanna Valley Area and West Branch Councils merged to form Susquehanna Council and Woapeu Sisilija Lodge 343. In 1988, the Northeast Region realigned its six areas into seven areas (twelve sections, reduced from fifteen). The old sections held their final conclaves in 1988. Winingus 30, Woapeu Sisilija 343 and Wyona 18 went to NE-4A. Monaken 103 went to the new NE-5. Susquehannock XI and Tuckahoe 386 joined NE-6.

Section NE-4C was established in June of 1994, following a realignment of the councils and areas of the Northeast Region. In June 1997 two lodges were transferred from NE-4C to other sections, Black Eagle 482 to NE-2A and Wunita Gokhos 39 to NE-4A.
