Member Spotlight...
|
 Scouting provides youth with an opportunity to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards. These opportunities not only help them when they are young, but carry forward into their adult lives. The skills they learn in Scouting help them overcome obstacles and challenges with courage and character throughout their lives.
The Winnebago Council serves more than 4,500 youth in 17 counties in North Central Iowa. With the Council headquarters in Waterloo and a service center in Mason City, the council has three Districts (Lakeland, River Valley, & Twin Rivers).
The purpose of the Boy Scouts of America--incorporated on February 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916--is to provide an educational program for boys and young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness.
