The President Gerald R. Ford Field Service Council is a field service council of the Michigan Crossroads Council (MCC), a local council of the Boy Scouts of America.
The President Gerald R. Ford Field Service Council is the result of a 2012 merger of nine local councils into MCC due to depopulation of the area. The Gerald R. Ford Council and the Scenic Trails Council merged to form the President Ford Field Service Council. The field service council structure is unique within the BSA and necessitated by the large geographic area.
