Central New Jersey Council is a former local Boy Scouts of America council that served the central New Jersey area, spanning across the Counties of Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex and Warren.

[1] As a corporation, the Council will remain intact until a variety of business items, including the sale of camp properties, is complete.

[3] The council moved to new offices at 2245 US Highway 130, Suite 106, in Dayton, NJ in November 2008.

They approved the proposal of remaining CNJC units in Middlesex County (Mattameechen and Joyce Kilmer Districts) to be transferred based on the following: Scouting units North of the Raritan River were transferred to Patriots' Path Council[5] while Scouting units South of the Raritan were transferred to Monmouth Council.

[7] Located in Sandyston Township, New Jersey within walking distance of the Appalachian Trail, Kittatinny Mountain Scout Reservation, also called KMSR, was used for short term periods.

Central New Jersey Council has stated that the camp offers ways to help create "better units, qualified scouters, and skillful, self-reliant boys and young men".

[8] Issues with low attendance, the dam, the septic system and other needed improvements at Kittatinny Mountain Scout Reservation have led to discussions on sale of the camp.

The 1,000 acres (400 ha) camp was the site of commercial copper mines that were no longer open.
