Hawkeye Area Council, BSA

Hawkeye Area Council, Boy Scouts of America proudly serves over 2,500 youth in Benton, Cedar, Iowa, Johnson, Jones, Linn, and Washington Counties. As part of the Boy Scouts of America, our mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Discovery is at the heart of Scouting. Whether it's a campout, derby car race, or hike on the trail, we believe every adventure helps us uncover a little more about ourselves. We build the foundations for humility and compassion - strengthening character through actions - to prepare youth for a lifetime of leadership. We prepare youth for life. Scouting teaches youth to confront any challenge with whole hearts and clear minds - to live their lives without regret, never back down, and do their very best! Scouting is the difference! Our unique programs focus on character development, leadership and outdoor exploration providing a lifetime of benefits!
