The main reason I started the local OP was because it was stated as a 
necessary item for group advancement*. So not believing I should do all 
that work and then nothing with it, I kept it up to date. And now, ten 
years later, it was ready and waiting for the Province push. So any group 
contemplating a group status change would be well advised, imho, to have 
the local OP already done and ready to use.

Very good - and it helps to have a local deputy check it all too.

*I have seen both Wiesenfeuer's and Northkeep's old OPs. But I don't know 
that anyone has kept them up to date.
