History

In 2001, the Land of the Oneidas Council and General Herkimer Council merged, forming the Revolutionary Trails Council, which provided Scouting to Herkimer, Oneida and Madison counties as well as part of Hamilton, Otsego and Lewis counties.

In 2016, the Revolutionary Trails Council merged with the Otschodela Council, forming the new Leatherstocking Council.[1] The Leatherstocking Council supports Scouting families across Delaware, Hamilton, Herkimer, Lewis, Oneida, Otsego and Schoharie counties. Its headquarters are located in Utica, NY, at 1401 Genesee Street.
