Golden Empire Council - Boy Scouts of America

Our mission is to instill values in young people and prepare them to make ethical choices during their lifetimes, to take leadership roles as adults, and to reach their full potential. Those values are based on character, citizenship, personal fitness, and are found in the Scout Oath and Law. We accomplish our mission in partnership with chartered organizations and chosen, well-trained leaders, as we:

• Offer young people responsible fun and adventure.
• Instill in young people life values and help them develop ethical character as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law.
• Train young people in citizenship, service, and leadership.
• Serve America's communities and families with quality values.

In 2017 GEC-BSA is serving over 16,000 youth and adult members in the central and northern CA region, where it also operates several highly-regarded youth camping facilities. To do this this GEC-BSA maintains a professional and support staff that manages a $3.6 MM annual budget that oversees program and provides services in 12 community-focused districts.
