Switching OA Lodges

[Ernest_Stevens]

My council recently split where the north half merged and created a new council and the south half, my half, got "absorbed" into another council. This meant that most of my friends went to a new council/lodge. The lodge that we were absorbed into is not ran well, whereas the new one up north is doing quite well. Is there anyway that I could join their lodge without leaving my current troop? Maybe charter with a crew in the new council?

I'd guess you could register with a unit in some capacity in the "north", which would put you in that council/lodge.  I don't think that would require you to drop your current troop membership.  However, if memory serves, you can only be in on OA lodge at a time.  So you wouldn't be able to register with the lodge your current troop is associated with.

I would look at it as an opportunity to take your knowledge and skills and change how the southern lodge is run so it's running as well as the north lodge.
