Fishhawk Fire Update:
As of this morning, September 5, the Fishhawk Fire is reported to have burned 10,320 acres and has moved north in the direction of Camp Buffalo Bill. Yesterday evening the Park County Sherriff’s office issued a mandatory evacuation order for the camp and cabins in the Kitty Creek drainage. The safety of our Scouts, volunteers and staff is of utmost importance and all Greater Wyoming Council personnel have been evacuated.
Greater Wyoming Council leadership is in close contact with US Forest Service and Park County Sherriff’s Office officials and we are monitoring the situation closely. Fire crews have been staging at camp and are continuing structure protection work in the North Fork corridor today. Weather conditions today appear more favorable with lower temperatures and higher relative humidity. There is also a possibility of rain this afternoon and evening.
We greatly appreciate our brave first responders for keeping our community safe and we pray for their safety as they battle this fire.
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 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.
