Scouting in Indiana has a long history, from the 1910s to the present day, serving thousands of youth with programs in Cub Scouts, Scouts, BSA, Venture, Exploring, Sea Scouts and STEM. From the early Calumet Council, formed in 1966 as a result of a merger of the Pokagon Trails Council in Hammond, the Sauk Trails Council in Gary and the Twin City Council in East Chicago, the Pathway to Adventure Council guides over 500 youth in the Thunderbird District communities of Hammond, East Chicago, Whiting, Munster, Highland, Griffith, Dyer, Schererville and St. John.

Today with your help, the Boy Scouts of America will continue to motivate young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime. Your gift will ensure that over 20,000 youth will have the opportunity to experience all that Scouting has to offer.
In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right now selves and grow into their very best future selves. It’s fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life. Scout me in!
