Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council
Overview
The Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council is a regional division of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), headquartered in San Jose, California. It serves Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Monterey counties. This council is the result of a merger between the Santa Clara County Council and the Monterey Bay Area Council[1].
History
The predecessor to the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council, the San Jose Council, was founded on August 20, 1920, by John Crummey, Robert Bentley, Jr., and Archer Bowden. The council changed its name to the Santa Clara County Council in 1922 and expanded its jurisdiction to include San Benito, Santa Cruz, and Monterey counties by 1927. In 1933, San Benito, Santa Cruz, and Monterey counties were separated to form the Monterey Bay Area Council[1].
Merger
In 2012, the Monterey Bay Area Council, facing financial challenges, including over a million dollars in debt, merged with the Santa Clara County Council. This merger resulted in the formation of the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council. The new council was officially named in September 2012, and the merger was finalized in December 2012[1].
Programs and Events
The Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council offers various scouting programs, including Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturing, and Explorer programs. It hosts several events throughout the year, such as the Council Recognition Dinner to honor Eagle Scouts and Silver Beaver Awardees, as well as family camps and cub camps at its facilities[3][5]. The council also supports the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) in providing scholarships to Eagle Scouts[3].
Status
The Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, making financial contributions tax-deductible[5]. It continues to serve thousands of youth across its service area, promoting values such as trustworthiness, loyalty, and bravery through the activities and principles of the Boy Scouts of America[2].

A massive shout-out and huge thanks to our incredible Order of the Arrow Scouts for an amazing Ordeal weekend at our beloved Camp Hi-Sierra! 🏕️ They poured their energy into making camp even better, tackling projects like sanding picnic benches, building storage racks, meticulously cleaning the range, and crafting new server benches for the dining hall. Their hard work is absolutely invaluable and deeply appreciated! Thank you for your dedication to making Camp Hi-Sierra shine! Camp Hi-Sierra (fb)
Meet Ritvik, whose incredible Eagle Project made a direct impact to those in need! Ritvik built two large, mobile wooden shelves to hold pantry essentials for Front Door Communities, an organization dedicated to providing essential resources like food, clothes, and other necessities to the homeless. He was immediately inspired after seeing their need for better storage. Ritvik's project certainly had its challenge. He demonstrated strong leadership, especially on his second workday when managing a large group of volunteers. Guiding each volunteer to understand the plan, know their tasks, and stay engaged truly honed his communication and delegation skills. The result? Stable, well-built, painted shelving that provides Front Door Communities with much-needed, organized space for their vital supplies! His dedication ensures they can better serve their community. Ritvik is an inspiring example of how Scouting builds compassionate leaders who make a real difference. Congratulations, Ritvik! Welcome to the Eagle's Nest! 🦅 Pioneer District - SVMBC #eaglescoutproject #ScoutingAmerica #ScoutsBSA #serviceproject #eagleproject #youthleadership (fb)
