http://findingaid.lib.byu.edu/viewItem/MSS%205785

Utah has one of the longest-running Scouting legacies in the country. The first Boy Scout Troop in the state got its start in Logan, Utah in 1910. The Utah County Council was organized February 22, 1921, and in 1922 it changed its name to the Timpanogos District Council. In 1931 the council merged with the Zion National Park Council, and the name was shortened to the Timpanogos Council. Then on February 3, 1936, that council merged with the Bryce Canyon Council, and thereby became the Utah National Parks Council. The Council includes 39 districts. The collection is made of papers and documents accrued in the history of the organization since its inception, and spanning through 2005.
