Middle Tennessee Council, Inc. operates as the Boy Scouts of Middle Tennessee and delivers a comprehensive range of scouting programs for youth from kindergarten through age 20. The private company is based in Nashville, TN. These programs include Lion Cubs, Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and Exploring, focusing on outdoor adventure, leadership, character development, and career exploration. The council is organized into thirteen districts grouped into two larger areas, each supported by district executives and volunteer commissioners who provide unit support, training, and guidance. The council emphasizes safety and youth protection through detailed program guidelines, including COPE, aquatics, climbing, and range activities, as well as specialized initiatives like the MESH (mental, emotional, and social health) program for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Leadership development is supported by training courses for youth and adult leaders, such as National Youth Leadership Training, Wood Badge, and Wilderness First Aid. The council engages the community through events like jamborees, fundraisers, and capital campaigns, and provides resources via its website.
