The Boy Scouts of America National Capital Area Council, also known as the Scouting America National Capital Area Council (NCAC) is one of the largest local councils in the country, serving youth and families across the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Through its network of districts and camps, NCAC gives youth opportunities to grow in confidence, build responsibility, and develop lifelong values alongside peers and mentors in their communities.
What National Capital Area Council Does
National Capital Area Council (Tax ID: 53-0204610) serves communities throughout the Washington metropolitan region, including 18 districts across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. As one of more than 200 local councils chartered by Scouting America, NCAC delivers programs that help young people develop practical skills, confidence, and leadership abilities that can benefit them throughout adulthood.
Outdoor adventure is a central part of the Scouting experience. NCAC operates major camp properties including Camp William B. Snyder and Goshen Scout Reservation, where Scouts participate in summer camps, weekend camping programs, family camping opportunities, Cub Scout day camps, resident camps, and high-adventure experiences. Activities include hiking, camping, archery, climbing, team-building challenges, and environmental exploration.
The council also offers programs such as C.O.P.E. (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience), which combines climbing, balancing, problem-solving, and teamwork activities designed to help participants build confidence and leadership skills. Range and target sports programs introduce Scouts to activities such as archery and other supervised outdoor challenges.
Beyond outdoor programming, NCAC promotes community service and civic engagement while recognizing individuals and organizations that demonstrate leadership and service. Events such as the Prepared for Life Gala, Good Scout Award programs, the Whitney M. Young Jr. Service Award Luncheon, and Scouting Salutes the Military support Scouting programs while highlighting positive contributions to local communities.
Through these programs, the National Capital Area Council provides young people with opportunities to learn, serve, lead, and grow in supportive environments throughout the region.
