Rooted in community. Built on adventure.
A century of Scouting in Clark County — and a welcoming home for the next generation of leaders.
Preparing young people to make ethical, courageous choices.
Thanks to the generosity of our Chartered Organization, Northminster Presbyterian Church, Springfield Scouting offers a single destination in Springfield, OH for the youth of Northridge and the surrounding community to experience all that Scouting America has to offer.
Our Scouting community aims to build self-confidence and independence, teamwork, a connection with nature, and lifelong leadership skills through age-appropriate outdoor experiences, service to our community, and weekly activities that teach valuable lessons in character development.
No matter your age or experience, there is a place for your child — and for you — in our Scouting family.
Part of something bigger since 1923.
Tecumseh Council has provided quality Scouting programs to thousands of youth across Logan, Champaign, Clark, Greene, and Clinton Counties for over a century. Today, more than 1,400 youth in 80 Scouting units, supported by over 1,000 adult volunteers, call the council home.

Springfield Scouting runs on the time, energy, and heart of our adult volunteers. Here are a few of the leaders you'll meet at your first meeting.
Mike Donovan
Eagle Scout, Wood Badge–trained, and 12 years on the trail with Troop 311. Mike loves backpacking and has led three crews to Philmont.
Sarah Whitfield
A Den Leader for six years before stepping into Cubmaster. Sarah keeps Pack 131's energy high and the calendar full of family-friendly adventure.
Tom Reynolds
Tom keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes — recruiting volunteers, tracking advancement records, and making sure every Scout has what they need.
Lisa Park
Our liaison to Northminster Presbyterian Church. Lisa champions Scouting in the community and helps connect families to our chartering partner.
