Theodore Roosevelt Council operates two camps for our Scouts and units for weekend camping trips, weekend programs, and summer camp programs. We accept donations of many items that help in the operation and maintenance of our many camps and facilities.

Membership in the Boy Scouts of America during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood plays a major role in shaping character and values and the use of these values in daily life. Take a stand on character, values, and integrity in support of our young people by making a contribution to the Theodore Roosevelt Council today. It's the smartest investment you can make, an investment in the greatest asset America has—its children.
