The Central Florida Council serves Boy Scouts in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Brevard, Volusia and Flagler Counties in Florida. Its headquarters was previously located in Orlando, Florida and is currently located in Apopka, Florida, just north of Orlando. Its primary Scout camp is Camp La-No-Che in Paisley, Florida, adjacent to the Ocala National Forest.
In 1922, the Central Florida Council, Boy Scouts of America, was chartered by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America to implement a quality Scouting program to all youth in its geographic area. The council is incorporated as a non-profit organization in the State of Florida.
The council is broken down into eleven geographical districts covering a seven county area:
The current council insignia is worn on the left shoulder of Cub Scout (to include Webelos), Boy Scout and adult leader uniforms and replaces the while block lettering on a red field insignia that spelled out "CENTRAL FLORIDA COUNCIL" or the alternative white on red community and state strips indicating a unit's location that were worn from the 1930s to the mid-1970s. The current insignia depicts a launching Saturn V lunar rocket, given the presence of NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center within the council's boundaries, a Scouting fleur-de-lis above a crescent moon against a blue Central Florida sky, followed by a stand of orange trees, given the citrus industry's significant presence in Central Florida.
The insignia was slightly modified in the late 1980s, temporarily replacing the Saturn V with a profile of a launching Space Shuttle before returning to the current rocket profile following the Space Shuttle's retirement.
