Scouting America, Northeast Illinois Council

About Us

The Northeast Illinois Council, Boy Scouts of America, is the local service team for Scouting in Northeastern Illinois. We empower boys and girls to become the leaders of tomorrow. We provide a safe and inclusive environment that fosters teamwork, personal growth, and a commitment to community service. With dedicated volunteers and community partnerships, we guide Scouts on a transformative journey, instilling values of integrity, respect, and the idea that we all must be the example and not the exception. Through outdoor adventures, leadership training, and mentorship we equip scouts with the skills and values needed to make a positive impact on society. Together, we build a better future, one Scout at a time.
