1994 Section W4A Conclave - Area 4 History - OA/Camps/Councils

Attendance for the Conclave is not confirmed.

This was the first year of Vigil competition ¹. The National Order of the Arrow Committee issued a new Field Operations Guide in July 1993. As a result, the position of Area Adviser was eliminated. The Western Region Order of the Arrow Committee then created the position of Area Coordinator. This position carried most of the same responsibilities.

Topa Topa Lodge # 291 won the Outstanding Lodge Award. Malibu Lodge # 566 won the Ordeal Trophy. Topa Topa Lodge # 291 won the Brotherhood Trophy. Malibu Lodge # 566 won the Vigil Trophy. The Most Spirited Lodge was Malibu Lodge # 566. It is not confirmed if there was a winner for the Flight of the Thunderbird.
