WELCOME TO THE GREATER WYOMING COUNCIL
Spanning over half of the State of Wyoming, the Greater Wyoming Council of the Boy Scouts of America provides service for youth from age 5 to 21. 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 both boys and girls, as well as young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness.
Greater Wyoming Council is proud to help with the molding of Wyoming's youth in to tomorrow's leaders.
BSA NEWS
BSA Annouces Family Scouting!!
Our priority is to bring the benefits of Scouting to more youth while remaining true to our mission.
The BSA’s mission 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 Scout Law. We are excited to announce that our Cub Scouting program is now open to boys and girls. By welcoming both girls and boys into the program, even more youth will have access to the character development and values-based leadership that Scouting promises. This webpage is designed to serve as the single point of information on Scouting for the whole family.

A message from our Scout Executive:
Subject: GWC District Consolidations in 2019
Dear Scouter,
As you may know, the Greater Wyoming Council is undergoing structural changes in districts preparing for the reduction in the number units the council will have after 2019 when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints exits its partnership with The Boy Scouts of America. A district consolidations committee has been working to formulate the the leadership structure in the two new districts (currently called West District and East District). The committee has done the following:
- Communicated with scout leaders in each of the old districts the consolidation plan and have collected ideas and questions to be answered in the future
- Formed two district nominating committees to nominate in each new district a single district chair and two vice-chairs each representing geographically the three districts that were consolidated. Other district committee members will follow as part of the work of the nomination committees
As you are may be asked to help in some
of these leadership roles in the new districts, I would ask that you consider your individual abilities to help within your district. Training will be offered to the new district leaders.
Thank you for all the good you are doing in Scouting.
Yours in Scouting,
Brad W. Bodoh
Scout Executive
Greater Wyoming Council
