The Chester County Council is the local operation of the Boy Scouts of America, serving Chester County, Pennsylvania and the northwestern corner of Cecil County, Maryland. The Council serves nearly 5,000 youth annually through thousands of dedicated, talented volunteers and a small number of professional staff, and partnerships with over 110 community organizations to deliver quality Scouting programs. The Mushroom Festival grant will be used to purchase supplies and equipment necessary to adapt to the special needs of campers for the Annual Special Needs Camporee at Camp John H. Ware.
