Overview

Boys today have a wide variety of options for spending their time. In Circle Ten Council, Unit, District and Council level volunteers are committed to delivering your child a high quality, safe and fun-filled program that challenges our youth both intellectually and physically.

Scouts today learn lessons about life and the value of being a person of character and integrity. When you stop and think about it, Scouting is unlike any other youth program. Scouting fosters the development of the whole person and offers youth the opportunity to participate in activities that will help launch them on a successful course for life.

At the end of 2010 Circle Ten served 39,307 Scouts and 20,137 Learning for Lift participants in our programs. These youth are gaining the leadership skills necessary to lead with confidence. Of that number 976 young men earned the rand of Eagle Scout, the highest achievement for a youth member in Scouting. Our Scouting programs are successful because of the commitment and dedication of 16,052 adult leaders who give their time, talend, and resources.

Circle Ten Council's geographic area is comprised of 12 counties including Grayson, Collin, Hunt, Dallas, Rockwall, Rains, Kaufman, Van Zandt, Ellis, Henderson and Navarro in North Texas and Bryan County in Oklahoma. Our council is divided into 18 geographic districts. If you do not know which district you live in, please click the District Services tab in this section.
