It is headquartered in Orem, Utah. As of December 31, 2013, UNPC is the largest of {{Scoutstat BSA|councils}} local councils and is geographically within the Western Region of BSA.[1] In 2011, the UNPC was recognized by the Utah Best of State Foundation as Utah's Best Humanitarian Organization. UNPC is a non-profit corporation governed by Scouting policies and a local community-based Executive Board.[2] OrganizationUNPC is organized into 21 geographic areas known as Districts, each delivering Scouting programs to their local communities:[3] Alpine, Arapeen, Black Diamond, Bryce Canyon, Cathedral Gorge, Cedar Breaks, Great Basin, High Uintah, Hobble Creek, Iron Horse, Mount Nebo, Orem, Porter Rockwell, Provo Peak, San Juan, Snow Canyon, Tavaputs, Timpanogos, Wasatch and Zion District CampsUNPC operates eleven Scout camps and two high adventure bases throughout central and southern Utah.[4] They include Maple Dell, Tifie, Blue Mountain, High Uintah, Scofield, Camp Eagle Mountain, and Thunder Ridge Scout Camps. Camp Jeremiah Johnson (Cub Scout Day Camp) and Buck Hollow (Adventure Park for New [11 yr old] Scouts and Webelos [10 yr old] Wilderness Adventure) are camps dedicated to serving younger Scouts and Cubs. Entrada and Beaver High Adventure Bases serve primarily Varsity Scout teams and Venturing crews.[5] UNPC also has Quail Creek Camp and Bacon Park Camp. These areas are used for unit and districts activities, family reunions, and council training courses. UNPC offers structured youth, adult Scouter, and family in-residence training courses at several of its Scout Camps. Wood BadgeThe Wood Badge is the award given to those who complete the highest adult Scouter training course in Scouting. Courses are authorized by national BSA and are usually sponsored by a local council or region.[6] "It is the mark of men who have demonstrated that they are men of character who are devoted to a cause: men who strive for perfection well knowing that even the best is not enough; men that hold the welfare of others above self; Scouters who live up to all that name implies."[7] UNPC offered 14 Wood Badge for the 21st Century courses in 2011 and trained 376 adult Scouters in 2010.[8] Timberline National Youth Leadership TrainingTimberline is what UNPC calls its National Youth Leadership Training courses. In 2010, UNPC trained 889 youth in this course over 12 summer weeks in 39 separate courses.[9][10] Family campingUNPC used to offer an annual Family Camp program at Camp Maple Dell which allowed a whole family to participate in the fun activities associated with a Scout camp as a family and without an advancement focus. UNPC also offers a Family Odyssey program which is modeled after the Philmont Training Center experience at Tifie Scout Camp. This is a family program where a parent may attend Wood Badge, a Scout aged child may attend Timberline (NYLT), and the rest of the family may participate in age appropriate activities all at the same camp and all during the same week.[11] Eagles NestUNPC has a nationally sanctioned National Eagle Scout Association committee which recognizes new Eagle Scouts as well as notable Eagle Scouts from the council. "Our council is the largest in the country, and we really have had the lead in Eagle Scout awards the last two years," said John Gaily, council program director. "We are by far the most." In 2010, UNPC recognized 2,818 new Eagle Scouts.[12] UNPC and NESA recognize notable Eagle Scouts with either the Outstanding Eagle Scout Award or the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award: Notable Eagle Scouts from UNPC include:[13] Distinguished Eagle Scouts{{plainlist|
