Empowering Youth Across Northern Maine

The Katahdin Area Council (KAC) has been guiding generations of young people since 1920. Serving six northern Maine counties—Aroostook, Hancock, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Waldo, and Washington—KAC connects Scouts with outdoor adventures, leadership experiences, and supportive communities.

Our mission is simple: to develop character, citizenship, and leadership skills in every Scout. Through hands-on programs, wilderness adventures, and community service, KAC inspires youth to grow with confidence, purpose, and resilience.
