The Choctaw Area Council is a relatively small council compared to some, but our impact on the youth around us is no less than a larger council. As a member of the Boy Scouts of America, our vision statement is "to prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and the Scout Law". The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is "to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law".
