Adopt-a-School

Del-Mar-Va Council’s Adopt-a-School program connects local Scouting units with schools across the Delmarva peninsula to build meaningful, sustained community relationships.

In this region, Del-Mar-Va Council serves youth in:

  • the entire state of Delaware;
  • Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Caroline, Talbot, Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset, and Worcester counties in Maryland;
  • Accomack and Northampton counties in Virginia.

Through this initiative, Scouting units partner directly with school administrations to provide volunteer services tailored to each school’s unique needs. Units commit to at least one year of service, offering support like ground beautification, event assistance, book drives, and more.

The program aims to create thousands of lasting partnerships that benefit both Scouts and schools. For units, it strengthens their community presence and provides service opportunities. For schools, it offers dedicated volunteer support to enhance student achievement and success.

This collaborative model is a true win-win – Scouts gain impactful service opportunities while schools receive helping hands to improve their campuses and meet goals. The Adopt-a-School program fosters positive change within our local communities by working cooperatively to identify and execute projects.
