Scouting in Kentucky Today
There are eight Boy Scouts of America local councils in Kentucky. All of Kentucky lies within Southern Region, except for these counties: Kenton, Pendleton, Campbell, Boone, Gallatin, Grant, Owen (all in Dan Beard Council - Ohio), Greenup (in Simon Kenton Council - Ohio), Carter, Boyd, Lawrence (all in Tri-State Area Council - West Virginia) and Pike (easternmost portion only in Buckskin Council - West Virginia), are part of the Central Region.
In 2009 Bracken, Mason, Robertson, Lewis, and Fleming Counties from the Simon Kenton Council merged with the Blue Grass Council for a total of 55 Kentucky Counties.

Famous quotes containing the words kentucky and/or today:
“The pure products of America go crazy—mountain folk from Kentucky or the ribbed north end of Jersey with its isolate lakes and valleys, its deaf-mutes, thieves.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
