Scouting BSA, Mt. Diablo Silverado Council

Description

Scouting serves young men and women in every part of the country through local council service centers. Each council helps chartered organizations effectively use the Scouting program and expand the use of the program to other community groups.

The program of the Boy Scouts of America is administered through 272 local councils, with each council covering a geographic area that may vary from a single city to an entire state. Each council receives an annual charter from the National Council and is usually incorporated as a charitable organization. Most councils are administratively divided into districts that directly serve Scout units.
