Headquartered in Spokane, the Inland Northwest Council facilitates the Scouting America program in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Our Council boasts three camp properties for Scouting adventures, community camping, and larger rentals.
The mission of Scouting America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
Cub Scouts is for boys and girls, kindergarten to 5th grade. It is a program where youth develop the foundations for leadership, citizenship, and personal fitness through fun activities. Cub Scout activities are designed for Scouting families to get in on the fun, and include exploring the outdoors, building projects, making friends, and developing a lifelong love of learning.
Scouts BSA is where 11-18 year-old youth develop outdoor survival skills, self-confidence, and ethics through youth planned activities with increased attention to service, community engagement, and leadership. Scouts BSA is where youth explore their interests and develop skills by participating in outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and canoeing. Scouts earn merit badges along the journey and work towards achieving Scouting’s highest rank - Eagle Scout.
Venturing is a youth-led program where 14-20 year-old Scouts experience positive mentorship and develop leadership skills in a fun, supportive environment. Venturers develop leadership skills like decision making, communication, and organization by choosing activities they are most interested in performing. Some of these activities include kayaking, volunteering at animal shelters, or designing robots - the Venturing activity is entirely up to the Scout!
