District
To provide more localized support to scouting, councils create districts. Districts are geographical areas of service. Districts have a volunteer District Committee that provides support to local programs in the areas of membership, finance, and program. Another group of volunteers called commissioners provides direct service to Scouting programs. Contact your District Executive to learn more about how a district operates.
Scouting Arizona, Grand Canyon Council
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA), was incorporated on February 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916. Its purpose is to provide young adults an effective educational program designed to build desirable qualities of character, to train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship and to develop in them personal fitness. Community groups such as religious, educational, civic, fraternal, business, labor, governmental bodies, corporations, professional associations, and groups of citizens who have compatible goals and utilize the program provided accomplish the purpose by the Boy Scouts of America on the local level.
Mission Statement
The mission of Grand Canyon Council is to strengthen and expand Scouting in Arizona by building strong units, empowering leaders, and delivering programs and camps that enrich the local Scouting experience.
