The Crossroads of the West Council is a local council of the Boy Scouts of America that serves the Scouts in all of Utah, Bear Lake and Franklin counties in southeastern Idaho, and Uinta, Sweetwater, Sublette, and a portion of Lincoln counties in southwestern Wyoming.
The council was created in April 2020 by consolidating the former Great Salt Lake, Trapper Trails, and Utah National Parks Councils. [2] The Council number is #590, as recognized by National designation. The Council name and first designed patch ideas came from the Utah State quarter issued in 2007.
The council headquarters are in Ogden, Utah, and maintains a satellite office in Orem, Utah.
The Council website is: www.utahscouts.org.
Crossroads of the West Council publishes an annual report, and can be accessed at: www.utahscouts.org/annualreport.
The Crossroads of the West Council serves 9 districts. [3]
A Scouting district is a geographical area of the local BSA council, determined by the council executive board. District leaders mobilize resources to ensure the growth and success of units within the district's territory. All districts are responsible for carrying out four standard functions: membership, finance, program, and unit service. [4]
The council owns/operates the following camps: [6] [7]
The Crossroads of the West Council is serviced by Ammatdiio Lodge (#590), Order of the Arrow. In October 2020, the Ammatdiio Lodge was chartered, merging the Awaxaawe Awachia (#535), El Ku Ta (#520), and Tu-Cubin-Noonie (#508) Lodges. [16]
The Lodge name, Ammatdiio, translates to mean “Where Paths Cross.” The Lodge uses the council number #590 for collecting destination and has nine chapters, one formed under each district and given that name (i.e.: Jim Bridger Chapter). "Typically, there is one chapter created in each district of the council. Each chapter would then have its own officers and advisers, the officers being elected by the youth OA members within the chapter, and the advisers being appointed by the Scout executive often with the consultation of the lodge adviser and district executive(s)." [17]
The animal totem of the Ammatdiio Lodge is the Bobcat.
The Order of the Arrow is the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America and is composed of Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their everyday lives, and meet the camping and election requirements set forth by the OA.
