Buckeye Council




Welcome to the new Buckeye Council Website.
Whether you are new to scouting or a seasoned volunteer, we hope that this new Scout Council Website will meet your needs.  We are excited with the potential for providing through this site all the information you need on a timely basis.  Many thanks to volunteers Brad Kenney – Uniontown; John Milan – Alliance and Karl Henley – North Canton and council office manager – Sandy Penix for all their efforts to make this site possible.

Each district and key council committee has a site where programming, announcements, and key volunteer contacts are accessible.

The current events tab is accessible on each page of the site and will contain current information similar to the Trail Signs newsletter that was mailed to volunteers in the past.

As you navigate through the site you will want to know that you could be directed to a BSA National web page. Some page links are to the BSA national web site as their material is up to date and maintained by them… such as The Guide to Safe Scouting. Once directed to a national site from our Buckeye Council site you can easily navigate back to the Buckeye Council site by selecting the page return button. We hope as we get more experience with this format that navigation between the two sites will feel seamless to you.

The council calendar on this new site is the same as our prior site.  The functionality of the calendar provides the opportunity for district and council volunteer committees with scheduled program dates to provide easily accessible content for their event.  We hope to be able to add an event reservation package in the near future.

If you have a comment on how we can improve this site or whether you like the new site and would like to share this with us please click here to Email Comments

Celebrating 100 Years - A Year of Celebration   Year of Celebration

For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has created a strong foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America's youth. Through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference, we will demonstrate the incredible impact of a century of living the Scout Law.

Program participants will earn recognition for making a difference in their communities due to their dedication to five of Scouting's core values: Leadership, Character, Community Service, Achievement, and the Outdoors. Through that commitment, participants can earn each of five award ribbons to display from our 100th Anniversary commemorative patch.

A Year of Celebration will take place from September 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. The program is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, adult leaders, and Scouting alumni.

For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has created a strong foundation of leadership, service, and community for America's youth. Through A Year of Celebration, we celebrate this legacy and commit ourselves to inspire and prepare future generations.
