Circle Ten Council:

Today’s Boy Scouts of America (BSA) programs are designed for both male and female youth. Since 1910, Scouting has helped mold the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The BSA believes and understands that helping youth puts us on a path towards a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.

The Circle Ten Council is a local council of Boy Scouts of America. It is comprised of 24 counties and serves 58,000 young people and more than 12,000 adult volunteers on an annual basis.
