Theodore Roosevelt Council | Boy Scouts of America

The Theodore Roosevelt Council, Inc. was chartered by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) in 1917 to administer the Scouting program in Nassau County. The Council name pays tribute to the first Council Commissioner and the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Headquartered in Massapequa, N.Y., the organization is one of the nation’s oldest Scout Councils, and is home to the nation’s first Eagle Scout, Arthur R. Eldred, from Rockville Centre, N.Y. The Council currently operates two year-round camping facilities at Schiff Scout Reservation in Wading River, N.Y., and Onteora Scout Reservation in Livingston Manor, N.Y. A full inventory of Scouting supplies and uniforms are available at the Nassau County Scout Shop, official retailer of the BSA, located at the Council Program Center at 544 Broadway, Massapequa, NY, 11758.
