Welcome to the Illowa Council!

We are proud to serve more than 2,600 youth who participate in Scouting in Bureau, Henry, Knox, McDonough, Mercer, Rock Island, Stark, and Warren counties in Illinois and Cedar, Clinton, Jackson, Muscatine, and Scott counties in Iowa. These 13 counties make up the Illowa Council!

Scouting has been shaping the youth of America for more than 100 years. Scouting does AMAZING things for youth.  Scouts try new things, serve others, boost self-confidence, make ethical choices, and explore the outdoors.  Besides being super-fun, Scouts say it helps them be more honest, teaches them to better work with others, guides them into becoming better team players and leaders, and provides life-long skills.  Prepared.  For Life.
