Chartered organizations of Scouting America

All Scouting America units are owned and operated by chartered organizations. Of the units (Scouts BSA troops, Cub Scout packs and Venturing crews) and youth members in 2010:

• 65% of all youth members are chartered to faith-based organizations
• 23.5% of all youth members are chartered to civic organizations
• 11.5% of all youth members are chartered to educational 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.

The following table lists chartered organizations (originally divided into faith-based groups, civic groups, then educational groups) by number of registered youth:

This table gives more information about which type of units are sponsored by which Chartered Organizations, but is more out of date than total units/total youth table:
