On December 27, the Buckeye Council Service Center and Scout Shop in Canton had a pipe burst that caused major flooding and damage to the building. Since then, restoration and construction companies have been working to quickly return the building to normal.

We predict full operation of the office and Scout Shop to resume within 30 days. In the meantime, accommodations have been made to best serve our scouting community. Click the link below for important information regarding office hours, the Canton Scout Shop, and more.
