The Miami Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America, first established in 1918, has a proud heritage of camping and outdoor activities for young men and women in the Miami Valley. The Council has grown to such an extent over the years that it now encompasses the five-county region of Montgomery, Darke, Preble, Miami and Shelby counties and serves over 10,000 young men and women in the programs of Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venturing, and Exploring. Supported by 2,800 volunteers, two premier camping facilities, The Harry F. Schiewetz Leadership Training Center and Council Resource Center located in Dayton, Scouting remains a vital and relevant organization for families and the community.
