Boy Scouts of America, Mid-America Council

The Boy Scouts of America, Mid-America Council, is a regional division of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), serving several states including Nebraska, Iowa, and parts of South Dakota. It was established in 1965 through the merger of the Covered Wagon Council and the Southwest Iowa Council. In 2000, the council expanded further by merging with the Prairie Gold Area Council in Sioux City, Iowa.

Mission

The Mid-America Council's mission is to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values outlined in the Scout Oath and Law. This includes developing character, citizenship, personal fitness, and leadership skills.

The council offers various Scouting programs designed for different age groups and development levels:

  • Cub Scouting: For children aged 6 to 11, focusing on character development and skill-building activities.

  • Exploring: A career education program for youth aged 14 to 20.

Territory and Service Area

Campsites
