Michigan Crossroads Council
The Michigan Crossroads Council (MCC) is a local council of the Boy Scouts of America that encompasses most of the State of Michigan. The council was formed in 2012 by the merger of nine councils.
The Scouting program in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan saw a drastic drop in membership beginning in the early 2000s. The decrease in population was due to the economy in Michigan and the resulting out-migration of population, jobs and industry. The Area 2 Project was created in 2010 and studied the impact on Scouting and presented the Crossroads Recommendation, which proposed that the ten councils in Michigan merge into one large council.
Erie Shores Council in northwest Ohio voted not to join Area 2 project. Hiawathaland Council in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, voted against merging into MCC and later merged with the Bay-Lakes Council in Wisconsin.
As a result, in 2012, the remaining Lower Peninsula councils were merged into the Michigan Crossroads Council (MCC). The MCC is then split into four sub-councils or "Field Service Councils" which are then divided into districts.
In 2020, Michigan Crossroads Council made a decision to merge their Field Service Councils to create one central Council.
On December 2, 2024, Michigan Crossroads Council and Bay-Lakes Council announced that the Hiawathaland District and Camp Hiawatha would be transferred to the Michigan Crossroads Council on January 1, 2025. The new district was added to Zone 1 of the President Ford Division.
The Organization of the Michigan Crossroads Council Boy Scouts of America councils in Area 2 of the Central Region is unique to Michigan. The Michigan Crossroads Council (MCC) was created by the merger of nine councils in the lower peninsula of Michigan. It is a coordinating council that oversees properties, personnel, and program.
As of 2021, Michigan Crossroads council has absorbed its Field Service Councils and is now divided into two administrative divisions. These divisions are formally called the President Ford Division, encompassing most of the western counties of Michigan's lower peninsula; and the Great Lakes Division encompassing the lower peninsula's eastern counties.
