Section officers are elected annually in April at conclave by the members of all nine lodges served by Section G3. Being a section officer is a big accomplishment that comes with lots of responsibility. They will all be given the chance to lead the section, visit various lodge events, select the section staff, participate in national OA leadership gatherings, and cheerfully serve all nine G3 lodges. In some cases, you may see an officer elected some time between conclaves. Those officer elections are just as competitive and are a special election initiated by either the resignation of a sitting officer or by the section chief’s election to a national position at the National Planning Meeting in December. On this page, you can see each elected officer since the start of our section in 2008.

Section advisers have a long history of impacting youth and creating amazing leaders. We have three types of adviser roles. The section adviser runs various background operations and serves as the key adult leader for the section. The section associate adviser works under their designated area or as assigned by the section adviser. The section staff adviser works for the section as the professional Scouting America presence and ensures that the section is in compliance with all Scouting America guidelines.. 

We have a long history of our leaders serving as national OA leaders. There are many opportunities for section chiefs to serve beyond the section as a national officer, national event vice chief, national committee chairmen, national coordinator, or in one of various other roles.
