History of Section SR-9
Section SR-9 was formed in 1993, then disbanded in 1997 following a realignment of the Southern Region. It was reformed in 2008 from pieces of Section SR-1, Section SR-4N, and Section SR-6S. The first SR-9 Conclave was held in 2009 at Comer Scout Reservation and hosted by Coosa Lodge.

- This is just a test. I'm not happy with how this extension works or how it looks.
- I plan to install EasyTimeline (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EasyTimeline), but that installation is a little tricky and will probably require moving this MediaWiki installation to a dedicated server instance.
