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 head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go;
A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
No matter, ‘t will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road:—
Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!”
—Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)
“The most original authors of today are original not because they create something new but because they are capable of saying such things as if they had never been said before.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
