Until 2021, the '''[[Boy Scouts of America]] was divided into four regions''' for administrative purposes — [[Central Region (Boy Scouts of America)|Central]], [[Southern Region (Boy Scouts of America)|Southern]], [[Western Region (Boy Scouts of America)|Western]], and [[Northeast Region (Boy Scouts of America)|Northeast]].<ref name="bsaorg">{{Cite web |last=Nelson |first=Bill |title=Organization of the Boy Scouts of America |url=http://usscouts.org/aboutbsa/bsaorg.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080215032728/http://usscouts.org/aboutbsa/bsaorg.asp |archive-date=2008-02-15 |access-date=2008-12-05 |website=U.S. Scouting Service Project}}</ref> Each region was then subdivided into areas. Each region had a volunteer president, assisted by volunteer officers and board members, and the day-to-day work of Scouting was managed by the regional director, assistant and associate regional directors, and area directors. Regions and areas were subdivisions of the [[BSA National Council|National Council]] and did not have a corporate status separate from the BSA.<ref name="r&r">{{Cite book |title=Rules and Regulations of the Boy Scouts of America |date=1985 |publisher=Boy Scouts of America}}</ref> |
