The council is among the 20 largest in the United States and is led by over 12,000 volunteers. More than 700 community organizations, representing educational, religious, non-profit, civic, and business organizations join in partnership with Baltimore Area Council by chartering over 900 Scouting units (packs, troops, teams, crews, posts and groups). The Baltimore Area Council is one of the oldest Boy Scout Council’s in America whose boards remain the same for over 99 years. http://www.baltimorebsa.org/ AZTEC 1 ORGANIZATION ADVENTURES POW WOW BALTIMORE 2012 AREA COUNCIL Districts Baltimore Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, is divided into 13 districts to better administer Scouting within geographic, specialty and cultural communities. Each is led by a team of volunteers, (district committees and commissioner staffs) with the help and encouragement of at least one full time staff member (district executive) and possibly a (district director). Districts support the community organizations (such as churches, service clubs and veterans organizations) that charter Scouting groups, the volunteer leaders who work directly with youth members, as well as the unit volunteers who help administer the pack, team, troop, crew, and post program.

BCMSR contains valuable wetland habitat, important and increasingly rare large tracts of forest interior, and an even rarer old-growth hemlock stand. In 1970, the Assistant State District Forester wrote, “These areas should be left as primitive areas... without interference from man. The most impressive stand of mature hemlock seen by this writer (in the region) can be found here.” In 1954, his predecessor wrote, “It is suggested that a 'hands-off' policy be the management.” Volunteers and professionals in the Baltimore Area Council have carefully
