Welcome to the Susquehanna Headwaters District!

We are dedicated to providing enriching experiences for youth through scouting programs that promote leadership, outdoor skills, and character development.

About Us

Our district is committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment where young people can learn, grow, and thrive.

Our Mission
Our mission 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 Law. We strive to develop leaders who are prepared to serve their communities and make a positive impact on the world around them.
