Crossroads of America Council
Vision Statement

Crossroads of America Council, Boy Scouts of America aims to beneficially involve every eligible child and their family in the fun and adventure of our programs.

We will provide extraordinary youth development programs that: strengthen values, develop leadership skills, provide lifelong learning and instill the habit of service to others. Crossroads of America Council will be widely acknowledged as a community and national leader in serving youth, families and neighborhoods.

This result will be achieved through the partnership of: (1) children and families, (2) strong community organizations, (3) committed, trained volunteers, and (4) districts, board and staff able to align community resources in support of Scouting and Learning for Life.

Strategic Goal

Crossroads of America Council will continue as a growth council. We will grow every year in all programs and all districts:
• In membership
• In retention
• In leadership
• In quality units
• In financial support
The strategies and goals that follow will let us know we’re on track and guide our important work.
