Section NE-2B was established as a new Section in June 2011 as a result of the 2011 realignment of the Northeast Region. The 9 Lodges in 2011 that originally made up Section NE-2B came from other Sections: NE-2A, NE-7A and NE-7B. Part of the NER realignment included reducing the number of Areas in the NER from 7 to 6. When Area 7 was eliminated so were the 2 OA Sections in Area 7: NE-7A and NE-7B.
Section NE-2B is one of the two Sections in NER Area 2 in the Northeast Region: NE-2A and NE-2B. Section NE-2B has 4 lodges from NY and 1 Lodge from Connecticut. It is made up of approximately 2500 OA brothers providing service to approximately 68,000 Youth and Adult Scouting Members within their 5 member Councils.
From June 2011 to March 2013, Section NE-2B had a total of 9 lodges. After April 1, 2013, the 5 Lodges belonging to the Greater NY Councils consolidated into a single lodge named Kintecoying Lodge resulting in Section NE-2B going forward with the 5 lodges - Achewon Netopalis, Buckskin, Kintecoying, Ktemaque and Shinnecock.
