Scouts helped our communities with more than 174,000 Service Hours in 2025.
Community service builds empathy, confidence, leadership skills, and brings families together.
"DO A GOOD TURN DAILY" is more than our slogan. In 2025, our youth members provided more than 174,000 hours of service in our communities, valued at more than $5.5 million*
Eagle Scout projects alone accounted for more than $1,315,375 – representing 41,364 hours – in service to local communities. It is only because of our steadfast donors, loyal volunteers, and community-based civic, faith-based, and educational organizations, who unselfishly donate their time and resources, that Scouting continues to develop young people who are Prepared.

Scouting for Food
In 2025, Scouting for Food reached new heights as more than 2,100 Scouts came together in partnership with Souper Bowl of Caring, turning a long-standing tradition into a powerful expression of community service.
Through their dedication and teamwork, Scouts collected an incredible 150,000 pounds of food, providing vital support to families facing food insecurity across our communities. This success was amplified by the generous support of our corporate partners—Smiths, Young Automotive Group, Bank of Utah, Red Hanger Cleaners, Arctic Circle, and YESCO—whose commitment helped expand the reach and visibility of this important effort.
Together, Scouts, volunteers, and community-minded businesses demonstrated what’s possible when service, collaboration, and purpose align. The 2025 Scouting for Food drive stands as a lasting example of the miles of impact we can make when we unite to serve those in need.
Promoting Scouting’s Message
Social media serves as an invaluable tool for promoting Scouting's compelling story. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube provide a dynamic space to showcase the Council's impactful initiatives, highlight the achievements of Scouts, and engage with the local community.
Through visually captivating posts, inspiring success stories, and timely updates, social media enables the Crossroads of the West Council to connect with a broader audience, fostering a sense of unity and pride among Scouts, leaders, and supporters. This digital outreach not only amplifies the positive influence of Scouting but also serves as a catalyst for recruitment, fundraising, and community involvement, ensuring that the Council's narrative continues to resonate and inspire both online and offline.
