Organization
The council is administratively divided into districts:
- Golden Eagle District South and East of Des Moines
- Bo Qui District South of Des Moines
- Hawkeye District South and East of Des Moines
- Raccoon River Valley District West of Des Moines
- TaMaHa District East of Des Moines
- Broken Arrow District North of Des Moines
Theoretically there are two other districts in the council, one each for Venturing and Learning for Life. Inner-city Scouts and Scouters in the Des Moines area were once part of the Two Rivers District. This district has recently been dissolved and the units are now part of the other districts.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“Science, unguided by a higher abstract principle, freely hands over its secrets to a vastly developed and commercially inspired technology, and the latter, even less restrained by a supreme culture saving principle, with the means of science creates all the instruments of power demanded from it by the organization of Might.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.”
—Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
