AREA SERVED
CHARTERED PARTNERS
We have many charter partner organizations who have joined us in partnership to provide scouting programs to the youth of our communities. These sponsors include churches of every denomination; PTA’s; civic, service, & fraternal organizations; businesses & industry; & community groups. Our chartered partners provide meeting facilities, are responsible for volunteer leadership and the overall support of their Pack, Troop, Crew, or Post.
OUR COUNCIL
The mission of the Council is to provide opportunities for Scouting to all youths in the counties we serve and to service and support all units, and their volunteer leaders. The Council is made up of all the chartered organizations and their volunteer scouters. Each sponsor appoints a Chartered Organization Representative who is a voting member of the Council and an automatic member of their respective District Committee.
COUNCIL BUDGET AND FINANCES
The Council operates on a modest budget prepared by key council volunteers and the Council Scout Executive. The Council Treasurer, Scout Executive, Finance Committee, and Accounting Specialist monitor income and expenses of the Council.
Our Council serves the youth of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany counties in New York, and McKean and Potter counties in Pennsylvania.
