Read MoreWelcome to the Illowa Council!
We are proud to serve more than 1,800 youth who participate in Scouting in Bureau, Henry, Knox, McDonough, Mercer, Rock Island, Stark, and Warren counties in Illinois and Cedar, Clinton, Jackson, Muscatine, and Scott counties in Iowa. These 13 counties make up the Illowa Council!
Scouting has been shaping the youth of America for more than 100 years. Scouting does AMAZING things for youth. Scouts try new things, serve others, boost self-confidence, make ethical choices, and explore the outdoors. Besides being super-fun, Scouts say it helps them be more honest, teaches them to better work with others, guides them into becoming better team players and leaders, and provides life-long skills. Prepared. For Life.

Top 3 Things Kids Come Home From Camp With (That They Didn’t Have Before):
1. Confidence
After a week of trying new things, solving problems, and succeeding away from home, kids return believing in themselves in a whole new way.
2. Independence
Camp teaches kids they can handle challenges, make decisions, and take care of themselves without parents doing everything for them.
3. Real Social Skills & Friendships
Without screens and routines getting in the way, kids learn how to communicate, cooperate, and build genuine friendships that boost emotional growth.
Camp isn’t just a week away — it’s a week that helps shape who they become.
