The program of the Boy Scouts of America is administered through Template:Scoutstat BSA local councils, with each council covering a geographic area that may vary from a single city to an entire state. Each council receives an annual charter from the National Council and is usually incorporated as a charitable organization.[1] Most councils are administratively divided into districts that directly serve Scout units.
Councils fall into one of four regions: Western, Central, Southern, and Northeast.Template:R Each region is then subdivided into areas. The total number of councils depends on how they are counted:
- There are Template:Scoutstat BSA individual local councils
- Direct Service covers units outside of local councils— although technically not a council it is assigned a council number
- Greater New York Councils has five boroughs, each with an assigned council number
- Michigan Crossroads Council has four field service councils, each with an assigned council number
- Each of the four regions has an assigned council number
