Welcome to the Nih-Ka-Ga-Hah District. Our district includes Jasper county, Newton County, McDonald County, Lawrence County, and Barry County. We serve more than 1200 youth, who participate in Cub Scout Packs, Scouts BSA Troops, Venturing Crews, and Exploring Posts. We invite you to check out scouting and see for yourselves what we're all about.

Our mission is to serve others by helping to instill values in young people and, in other ways, to prepare them to make ethical choices during their lifetime in achieving their full potential.

The Boy Scouts of America changes lives by providing youth with character development, citizenship training, personal fitness, and leadership skills they will carry forward into their adult lives. The values Scouting instills are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910 when the organization was founded.

Every week, millions of Scouts raise their hands and make a promise. It’s not a pledge to an organization. It’s a lifelong commitment to themselves, their families, and the community they share. Your financial investment, your time, and talents to help deliver this program to our youth are among the greatest gifts you can make. Take a moment to invest in the leaders of tomorrow.
