List of councils (Boy Scouts of America) explained

Local councils of the Boy Scouts of America

The program of the Boy Scouts of America is administered through local councils, with each council covering a geographic area that may vary from a single city to an entire state. Each council receives an annual charter from the National Council and is usually incorporated as a charitable organization.[1] Most councils are administratively divided into districts that directly serve Scout units.

Councils previously fell into one of four regions: Western, Central, Southern, and Northeast. Each region was then subdivided into areas. The total number of councils depends on how they are counted:
