In June 2021, National Service Territories came into effect for the Boy Scouts of America. This affects how the BSA national office works with the local councils The transition from the four regions of the Boy Scouts of America to the sixteen National Service Territories were made as an effort to reduce staff and save costs. At the territory level, there is minimal staff and no board or committee structure.[1]
Background
Until 2021, the operations of the Boy Scouts of America was divided into four regions for administrative purposes — Central, Southern, Western, and Northeast.[2] Each region was then subdivided into areas. Each region had a volunteer president, assisted by volunteer officers and board members, and the day-to-day work of Scouting was managed by the regional director, assistant and associate regional directors, and area directors. Regions and areas were subdivisions of the National Council and did not have a corporate status separate from the BSA.[3]
