The Boy Scouts of America organization is a hierarchical structure from each scout to the top national director. This organizational structure helps keep the program consistent across the country and makes the movement of scouts from one unit to another possible.

• The smallest grouping is a Den or Patrol, for cub scouts or boy scouts.
• The dens are combined into a Cub Scout Pack, while patrols are combined into a Boy Scout Troop. Packs and Troops are called 'units' in the scouting organizational hierarchy.
• Both Packs and Troops form a District.
• Districts form a Council.
• Councils are grouped into Areas.
• Areas are grouped into Regions.
• BSA National Council is in Irving, Texas.
