"The World's Firemost Outfitter"

The National Council of the Boy Scouts of America supports more than 300 local councils that provide quality youth programs, including Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing.

The Mid-Iowa Council serves some 20,000 youth in 27 central and southern-Iowa counties. There are nine districts within the Council, seven of which are defined by specific geographic boundaries. The other two provide program and service to specific groups of young people, including Exploring District which serves the Exploring posts throughout the council, and Two Rivers which serves young men and women in the central city neighborhood of Des Moines, and the Juvenile Diversion District which serves court-appointed youth ages 9-19 within the 5th Judicial Court District.

Boy Scouts of America's premier high-adventure base challenges Scouts and Venturers with more than 200 square miles of rugged New Mexico wilderness. Backpacking treks, horseback cavalcades, and training and service programs offer young people many ways to experience this legendary country.

Adults have opportunities of their own at the Philmont Training Center. World-class courses and seminars cover all aspects of Scouting all amid Philmont's dramatic scenery.
