Chester County Council, Boy Scouts of America Information

The Chester County has a rich heritage of building leadership skills in youth. Our council, which began in January 1919, serves Chester County, PA and the northwestern corner of Cecil County, MD. The Boy Scouts' vision is to prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Law. We achieve this through thousands of dedicated, talented volunteers and a small number of professional staff. In 2013 we were in partnership with 141 community organizations, had more than 6,000 youth members and 2,800 adult volunteering their time to deliver those quality-run programs. Our council service center is located on South Concord Rd. just off the Westtown Rd. exit of US 202, near West Chester, PA. Our service center includes a Trading Post where you can find patches, literature, and uniforms helpful to Scouting families and volunteers. The service center hours are 8:30 am to 5 pm Monday -Thursday and 7:30 am to 4 pm on Fridays. We are closed Saturday and Sunday.
