Northeast Region Section Five consisted of ten lodges from New York to West Virginia and covers the western half of Pennsylvania. Section 5C was formed on June 3, 1973, when representatives from eight lodges from Areas III-B and III-F met at the Moraine Trails Council office in Butler, PA. In 1988, as a result of the realignment of the sections within the Northeast Region, Section 5C became Section 5 and Monaken Lodge #103 (from NE-5B) and Ho-Nan-Ne-Ho-Ont Lodge #165 (from NE-2C) were reassigned, making a total of ten lodges in the newly formed Section Five.

In 1993, Kiasutha Lodge #57 and Tanacharison Lodge #67 consolidated, forming Enda Lechauhanne Lodge #57. In 1994, Ahtuhquog Lodge #540 (from NE-6) was added, once again making a total of ten lodges in Section Five. In 1997, because of the new region realignment, the section was split into NE-4B and NE-5A.

Each year the section holds a conclave to conduct leadership training, seminars, and various competitions, and serves to strengthen the fellowship among the arrowmen in the section. The first Section Five conclave was hosted in 1989 by Gyantwachia Lodge #255 at Custaloga Town Scout Reservation. The final conclave was held at Camp Seven Mountains with Monaken Lodge #103 as the service lodge.
