Western Region (Boy Scouts of America)

For administrative purposes, the Boy Scouts of America was divided into four regions—Western, Central, Southern, and Northeast.[1] Each region was then subdivided into areas. Western Region covered all of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, and parts of Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Texas, as well as the countries of Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.[2]

Each region had a volunteer president, assisted by volunteer officers and board members, and the day-to-day work of Scouting was managed by the regional director, assistant and associate regional directors, and area directors. Regions and areas were subdivisions of the National Council and did not have a corporate status separate from the BSA.[3]

Regions were replaced by National Service Territories in June 2021.[4]
