Norwela Council

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.

For over a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and, through over a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.

The Norwela Council was incorporated on December 2, 1925. Our geographic area covers the nine northwest parishes of Louisiana. These parishes are: Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Claiborne, DeSoto, Natchitoches, Red River, Sabine, and Webster.

It is the mission of the Norwela Council to develop character, leadership, and positive values for the benefit of the youth, families, and communities that we serve. We will accomplish our mission through the dedicated help of the Norwela Council's volunteer and professional staff and community support.
