Scouting America has collaborated with nonprofits and youth organizations to learn best practices and identify opportunities to support people and cultures through Scouting. We've also appointed diversity leads for each of our 14 Council Service Territories to partner with the leaders and troops within their territories to implement and advance our commitment to serving youth from all backgrounds.
