More than a century ago, the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated on Feb. 8, 1910 under the laws of the nation’s capital.

Later that year, 34 representatives of boys’ work agencies met in a temporary national headquarters in New York to develop plans. Less than a year later, the National Council office opened with seven employees, and Boy Scouts of America was well on its way to becoming a force to be reckoned with in the United States.

As Boy Scouts of America celebrates its 101st birthday today, there are now 10 Cub Scout packs, 11 Boy Scout troops and three Venturing Crews or Sea Scout Ships in Suffolk alone, including new Boy Scout Troop 1929 at West End Baptist Church.

The statistics show Boy Scouts truly are making an impact on the nation. In 2009, the organization awarded its two millionth Eagle Scout award. The organization welcomed its 100 millionth youth member in 2000.

More than 181 Scouts have become astronauts — more than half of the current astronauts. More than 200 members of the 111th Congress participated in Scouting as a youth or adult leader — 22 hold the rank of Eagle Scout. In addition, several presidents have been past Boy Scouts.

The following is a list of Scouting units in Suffolk and their chartering organizations. For more information, visit www.scouting.org or www.beascout.org.
