Black Swamp Area Council, BSA

The mission of the Black Swamp Area Council is to prepare the over 5,000 people in Northwest Ohio to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. The Black Swamp Area Council is the administrative body of the the Boy Scouts of America in the 13 counties of Northwestern Ohio. A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the council operations are completely funded by the Friends of Scouting annual giving campaign, corporate sponsorships, the popcorn sale, activity revenue, and the United Way. Funding is used for program delivery in the form of camp operations, professional and support staff, and the many Scouting events held throughout the council each year.
