About the NEIC

The Northeast Iowa Council Boy Scouts of America (NEIC) is headquartered in Dubuque, Iowa and serves youth in Allamakee, Clayton, Delaware and Dubuque counties in Iowa, along with parts of Jackson & Jo Daviess County in Illinois. 

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the Nation’s largest and most prominent value-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of active citizenship, and develops personal fitness. For over a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining fun activities with teamwork, service, and lifelong values. It is our mission to continue this curriculum to better prepare young people to make ethical and moral decisions throughout their lifetime.
