Chartered organizations of the Boy Scouts of America information

  • 65% of all youth members are chartered to faith-based organizations
  • 23.5% of all youth members are chartered to civic organizations

Each unit is chartered by a local branch of an organization, not at the national level. The following tables combine all chartering organizations that fall into a religious denomination or national organization.
