Scouting America Hawk Mountain Council

Teaching leadership & values while providing recreational activities for children of all ages, The Hawk Mountain Council, Boy Scouts of America headquartered in Reading, PA serves more than 6,000 young people in three Pennsylvania counties:

• Schuylkill County
• Berks County
• Carbon County (Panther Valley School District Only)

It is among the largest youth-serving organizations in the three-county area, led by over 1,100 volunteers. Hundreds of community groups representing educational, religious, non-profit, civic, and business organizations join in partnership with Hawk Mountain Council by chartering over 115 Scouting units (Packs, Troops, Crews and Posts).

If you are new to Scouting, let us introduce you and your children to a world where they will build lifetime friendships, while learning leadership skills, active citizenship, personal fitness, and practical knowledge through their participation in a diverse array of activities, including camping excursions, summer programs for teens, and much, much more. From Cub Scouting, with thrilling outdoor programs such as camping, and other outdoor adventures – on to Scouts BSA and Venturers, with camporees, summer camps, Scouting shows, and national jamborees – families can enjoy building a lifetime of experiences unmatched by other organizations.

Donor funding helps reduce the cost of Scouting and ensures that financial circumstances never prevent youth from participating at Hawk Mountain Council, because every young person deserves the chance to learn, grow, and lead through Scouting. 

Thank you for making that opportunity possible.
