Scouting's unparalleled influence sets it apart from all other youth programs, both now and into the future. Boys and girls participate together in Cub Scouts, engaging in fun activities while learning teamwork, leadership, and values. Older youth can join Scouts BSA, where gender-specific troops or co-ed troops are available. Scouts BSA focuses on outdoor adventures, leadership, and personal growth. These programs empower young individuals to become responsible citizens by fostering qualities like trustworthiness, courage, and kindness, shaping them into well-rounded leaders who contribute positively to their communities.
The Scout Oath is...
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
The Scout Law is...
A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent.
- Situated in Meridian, Mississippi, our purpose is to reach out to the youth spanning East Mississippi and West Alabama. Our service area encompasses six counties: Lauderdale, Clarke, Newton, Neshoba, and Kemper Counties in East Mississippi, as well as Choctaw County in West Alabama. Our engagement touches over 1200 youth across Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturing, Exploring, and Learning for Life programs.
- Our Chartered Partners play a pivotal role in facilitating the Scouting experience for the youth in our communities, offering unwavering support.
- The financial backbone of our council is formed by the annual Friends of Scouting fundraising initiative, yearly Popcorn Sales, Binachi Shooting Sports, United Way contributions, and a variety of special events held throughout the year.
