Daniel Boone Council is headquartered in Asheville, North Carolina.  Our mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Daniel Boone Council Service Center COVID-19 Update

The health and safety of our Scouting members, volunteers and employees is our top priority. We are doing our due diligence to monitor the COVID19 pandemic, county, state and federal recommendations, CDC guidelines, and BSA recommendations. Our primary goal is to operate in the safest manner possible for everyone; we will continue to monitor and evaluate the situations we face and make appropriate decisions moving forward.

Until further notice, the following stipulations will be in place:

Council Office:

• The building will be closed to walk-in visitors. If you need to visit someone at the office, we ask that you call ahead to make an appointment. When you arrive for your appointment, please use the front entrance only. Please see below for a listing of who to contact to better assist you.

• Visitors who have appointments will need to wear a mask.
