SCOUTING. GET READY FOR THE ADVENTURE OF YOUR LIFETIME.
For over one hundred years, the Boy Scouts of America has prepared young people for life through some of the most outstanding leadership and growth programs available nationally. Whether it’s camping, hiking, community outreach or building remote controlled robots, Scouting offers exciting programs designed to inspire, build character and instill the values that boys and girls need to succeed today. We offer programs for girls and boys ages 6-20. Scouting programs foster and strengthen self-confidence, ethics, respect for others, academic skills, and leadership abilities that stay with them their entire lives.
The De Soto Area Council, one of the best in the Boy Scouts of America, has almost 1,000 members and nearly 350 adult volunteers.
The council, headquartered in El Dorado, Arkansas, serves the counties of Ashley, Bradley, Calhoun, Chicot, Cleveland, Columbia, Dallas, Desha, Drew, Ouachita and Union.
Established in 1913 and chartered in 1919, the De Soto Area Council has proudly served South Central Arkansas for over 100 years. Headquartered in beautiful downtown El Dorado, Arkansas, this council has stood the test of time. In its century long stand there have been at least two camps including Camp Logoly, which is now a state park, and Camp De Soto which have provided countless memories to both youth and adults.
Scouting units in the De Soto Area Council are chartered by many different community groups that include civic, non-profit, religious, educational and business organizations throughout the region.
