The Atlanta Area Council, Boy Scouts of America is a regional nonprofit focused on youth development through Scouting. It seeks to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling the values of the Scout Oath and Law. The Scout Oath emphasizes duty to God and country, helping others, and staying physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight, while the Scout Law outlines traits such as trustworthiness, loyalty, helpfulness, and bravery. The council serves thirteen metro-Atlanta counties: Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnett, Haralson, Newton, Paulding, Pickens, and Rockdale. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, it operates as a mid-sized nonprofit with a focus on youth development and community service. In 2023, media coverage described a theft-related incident involving the organization, illustrating challenges that have affected local nonprofits.
