WELCOME TO THE FUTURE SITE FOR: NATIONAL SERVICE TERRITORY NST-10
This is the former website for Area 2 of the Northeast Region of the Boy Scouts of America. It is currently under live construction and transition to become the new website for National Service Territory 10 (NST 10). Please check back often for updates and we apologize for any confusion while we modify the site to focus on NST 10’s operations.
May 29, 2021 – The National Council of the Boy Scouts of America has been implementing many changes as it works to streamline its operations and become a more efficient organization. As part of these changes, May 28, 2021, was the last day that Area 2 of the Northeast region was in existence. On May 29, 2021, the BSA’s four regions and 27 areas will be replaced with 16 national service territories (NST’s).
The NER Area 2 was created in 2011 during a realignment of the areas within the Northeast Region. Five of the 10 councils belonging to Area 2 will become part of NST 10, which will cover New York State, and the other five will become part of NST 11, which will cover New England plus the Transatlantic Council. We expect that this new structure will allow the National Council to provide a better level of support to local councils, including by eliminating confusion over which services are provided through areas and which are provided through regions.
Area 2 of the Northeast Region of the Boy Scouts of America was comprised of 10 Councils: Connecticut Rivers Council, Greater Hudson Valley Council, Greenwich Council, Housatonic Council, Connecticut Yankee Council, Western Massachusetts Council, Theodore Roosevelt Council, Suffolk County Council, Rip Van Winkle Council, and Greater New York Councils.

Youth Protection Reminder for Remote/Virtual Scouting
It’s critical that we all continue to keep youth protection top-of-mind whether our Scouting activities are taking place in person or through a digital platform. Of note, remember that BSA prohibits any one-on-one 
interaction between an adult leader and a Scout – in person, online, through a web conference, over the phone, via text, or in any other form.
Detailed youth protection information is available here. To ensure you are following safety standards for all Scouting activities, please reference the Guide to Safe Scouting.
The BSA’s Social Media Guidelines serve as a complement to our youth protection policies.
