Council Service Territories

Council Service Territories (CSTs) are the administrative regions of Scouting America. Previously, the term “region” was used until June 2021, when the organization moved to “National Service Territories”. The transition from four regions to sixteen National Service Territories was made as an effort to reduce staff plus save costs. At the territory level, there is minimal staff and no board or committee structure.

In 2024, NSTs were renamed to Council Service Territories and several CST boundaries were updated. Additionally, two territories were merged into adjacent ones, resulting in a total of 14 Council Service Territories.
