What is the Chehote District?
The Chehote District of the Great Smoky Mountain Council, BSA is mostly located within the Knoxville, Tennessee Empowerment Zone (EZ), but also includes other areas inside and outside of the I-640 loop. The Chehote District gives special leadership and emphasis to urban Scouting programs. The Chehote District is the Great Smoky Moutnain Council's commitment to making sure that all young people have the opportunity to join scouting, regardless of their circumstances, neighborhood, or ethnic background.
Today, young people are faced with many challenges, as they often live in fragile families and disintegrating neighborhoods. Scouting meets the developmental needs of youth in diverse, urban settings.
Scouting, by emphasizing ethics and moral values, addresses many of the social concerns of parents and youth in our community. Scouting prepares urban youth to be leaders, to accept responsibility, and to care about principles and causes beyond their own self-interest.
Our biggest asset in urban neighborhoods is a well-defined program based on values, learning-by-doing, fun, and positive role models.
