What Hawkeye Area Council Boy Scouts of America does

Programs
In the council's seven county service area, 2,187 youth were served by the scouting program in 2024. The council provides direct support to adult volunteers, youth leaders and the scouts themselves. Working in tandem with partners called "chartered organizations, " the council provides programs to cub scouts, scouts bsa, venturing and exploring groups. The council provides support in training, advancement, accident and sickness insurance for all members and leaders, marketing, high adventure opportunities, day camping programs and career/vocation training. Expenses also include commissioned youth serving executives, program materials, local scouting events and technical support.
$842,358 spent$157,645 earned by the program73% of program spendingIn 2024 we had over 1,500 youth and adults participate in various programs held at camp last summer. Through these programs youth of all ages were riding ziplines, climbing the tower, hiking around camp, learning to cook, racing through the ninja warrior course, fishing, shooting and more. Although we still have the impact of covid affecting our camp numbers for the next few years, camp wakonda has been added to broaden our reach to more youth both in & outside of scouting.

This allowed many non- scouting youth to reap the benefits of summer camp and outdoor programming with activities not often accessible in our community including climbing, archery, and ecology activities. In 2024 we have plans to expand this to include partnerships with big brothers big sisters and boys and girls clubs throughout the area. The fall is our busiest season of the year, with our membership push happening at back to school nights as the kids head back to schools in august. The scouting calendar is full with combined campouts, youth leadership trainings, and service projects all taking place. We also held a merit badge university for the first time with nearly 300 youth at kirkwood college & it was a huge success for the scouts, as well as providing necessary funds for hac to support our programs in the future. Hac had another successful scouting for food campaign, which is our major service project for the year, and last spring collected 53,090 pounds of food, which provided over 47,496…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $3.1M to $2.8M (−11%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 14% · 2021 9% · 2022 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

87% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $362k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
