The Baltimore Area Council (BAC) is an independent not-for-profit entity responsible for
delivering Scouting programs to young people in Baltimore City and the five surrounding counties.
Although supported with resources from the Boy Scouts of America National Office, the BAC is governed
by a local board of directors and has its own bank accounts, investments and assets such as Broad Creek
Memorial Scout Reservation and the Schapiro Scout Service Center. The council delivers the
Scouting program through dedicated volunteer leadership in our 12 districts throughout Central Maryland.
