SCCC-About Us

Scouting has a profound impact on the many thousands of youth and adults who participate in, volunteer for and benefit from its activities and programs. More than 12,000 young people in more than 400 packs, troops and crews enjoy Scouting locally.

More than 4,000 volunteers make Scouting one of the county’s most successful community resources and one of the key factors in preparing youth to make the right choices.
Some 350 businesses, churches, schools and other organizations sponsor one or more troops, packs, or posts.
The Santa Clara County Council serves most of the county except for the cities of Mountain View, Los Altos and Palo Alto.
A professional and support staff ensure Scouting in the county runs smoothly and that Scouts can rely on the resources and facilities.
The council operates two camps, Chesebrough Scout Reservation in the Santa Cruz Mountains and Camp Hi-Sierra in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Sonora.

Here at the Santa Clara County Council we focus on “A Scout’s Life” – where childhood adventures build lifelong lessons.
