National Capital Area Council, BSA delivers the promise of Scouting to youth in the Washington, D.C., metro area, including the District of Columbia, 16 counties in Maryland and Virginia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and U.S. citizens abroad in North and South America. Our programs teach young people to “be prepared!” for adventure, education, service, and leadership.
When air quality alerts are issued, Scout leaders should refer to the SAFE Checklist and its Safety Moment to determine if an activity is safe.

The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments issues air quality warnings for our geographic area: https://www.m
