History

Scouting was founded in 1910 in the United States and in 1915 in the Spokane area. The council was first incorporated in the State of Washington in 1922 as the Inland Empire Council. The current Inland Northwest Council was formed after a merger with the Lewis-Clark and Idaho Panhandle Councils in 1992. A local volunteer executive board governs the council with an executive committee of officers and an advisory board.
