Council Website;
LPC was organized in 1919 to serve youth in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties.
Scouting programs help young people reach their full potential by turning them away from drugs, gangs, juvenile delinquency and violence and helping them to
focus on developing positive traits such as physical and mental fitness, self-worth, self-esteem, self-reliance, personal satisfaction,
patriotism, and respect for others.
