The Muskingum Valley Council and Simon Kenton Council have entered a period of due diligence to evaluate how our two Councils might work together to strengthen the delivery of Scouting across our region.
This effort is centered on the future of Scouting and on ensuring the strongest possible opportunities, experiences, and support for our Scouts, volunteers, families, and communities.
Over the coming months, a working group of volunteers and professionals from both Councils will conduct a structured evaluation, engage in candid dialogue, and develop recommendations on the most effective path forward.
This process is exploratory. No decisions have been made. Its purpose is to assess opportunities for enhanced collaboration across program delivery, volunteer support, operational effectiveness, and long-term sustainability; whether pursued jointly or independently in service to the mission of Scouting America.
Throughout the process, both Councils are committed to transparency, consistent communication, and respect for the proud histories and traditions that have shaped Scouting in our communities for generations.
We are grateful for the dedication of our volunteers, the commitment of our families, and the steadfast support of our communities. Together, we will approach this work with discipline, purpose, and a shared commitment to ensuring Scouting remains strong and impactful for generations to come.
