About Moraine Trails Council
The Moraine Trails Council – Boy Scouts of America – supports Scouting programs in Western Pennsylvania in Armstrong, Butler, Lawrence and northern Westmoreland Counties. 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 Scout Law.
Internet Recharter 2.0 opened November 1, 2021. If your unit’s leadership has thoroughly reviewed your 2021 roster and is sure of all the updates to be made, click here to watch a video on how to begin the process and to see the resources/links available to you for a successful recharter experience.
