All lodges in the section share their responsibilities of all phases of section program and administration. The Council of Chiefs shall host the Conclave.

One lodge will be designated as the service lodge each year. The responsibility shall be on a rotation schedule including all lodges in the section, where each lodge shall have the opportunity to serve as a service lodge once before including any lodge a second time. Lodges should prepare to accept their service responsibility according to the published rotation; however, the rotation may be modified by the COC with the approval of the consenting Scout Executives if needed.

The Service Lodge is responsible for all the physical, administrative, and financial arrangements for the Section Conclave. This includes the provision of meals, adequate sleeping and meeting facilities, trading post, printing services, first aid and medical services, religious services, etc., but the Section Officers shall run the Conclave itself.

The Section NE-1B Conclave rotation is as follows:

2009 - Pachachaug Lodge, Mohegan Council # 254
2010 - Tulpe Lodge, Annawon Council #255
2011 - Tisquantum Lodge, Old Colony Council # 249
2012 - Abnaki Lodge, Narragansett Council #546
2013 - Grand Monadnock Lodge, Nashua Valley Council # 230
2014 - Abake-Mi-Sa-Na-Ki Lodge, Cape Cod and Islands Council # 224

The Section will follow this schedule. If a Service Lodge is unable or unwilling to host a Section Conclave, the Scout Executive of the Service Lodge may submit a letter to the Council of Chiefs via the Section Adviser requesting that the Conclave rotation be changed. In the event a lodge declines, the next lodge on the list shall become the Service Lodge. The Section Key 3 makes the final decision.
