Boy Scouts of America National Headquarters

The Boy Scouts of America National Headquarters is a large administrative complex located in Irving that coordinates youth programs across the country. From this facility, membership operations are managed, educational content is developed, and support is provided to local councils and volunteer leaders.

The headquarters moved from New Brunswick, New Jersey to Irving in 1978 as part of a strategic expansion into the southern United States. This relocation allowed the organization to establish more effective connections with regional councils and expand its administrative capabilities.

The headquarters manages programs teaching leadership skills, outdoor activities, and community service to youth through local councils and dedicated adult volunteers across the country.

The facility operates as an administrative center and visits are typically by appointment or during scheduled special events only. Check ahead before planning a visit to find out when the grounds are open to the public.

The National Service Center directs the distribution of uniforms, equipment, and educational resources through Scout Shop retail locations across the United States.
