About Westfield Canyon Council
Serving youth and families across the region for over 80 years.
Our Mission
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
At Westfield Canyon Council, we bring that mission to life every day — through weekend campouts, merit badge programmes, community service, and high-adventure expeditions that challenge young people to grow.
Scout Oath
On my honour I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law — Our Values
Every Scout strives to embody these twelve points of the Scout Law in their daily life.
Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
