What is the Sequoia Council?

Simply put the Sequoia Council is a service area within the Boy Scouts of America that covers Fresno, Madera, Kings and Tulare Counties. The Council is further divided into Districts, which are service areas run by a committee of volunteers and counseled by a paid District Executive. District volunteers service the units by providing advice to existing units, training existing units, maintaining membership growth, promoting camping, raising money for even better service, providing programs such as camporees, district dinners, day camps, together we plan conferences, and promoting the good Boy Scout name within the community.
