It encompasses all or parts of: Camp, Collin, Dallas, Delta, Ellis, Fannin, Franklin, Grayson, Henderson, Hopkins, Hunt, Kaufman, Lamar, Morris, Navarro, Rains, Red River, Rockwall, Titus, and Van Zandt counties in Texas as well as Bryan, Choctaw, McCurtain, and Pushmataha counties in Oklahoma.

Founded in 1913 and based in Dallas, approximately 34,000 youth and 7,800 adults participate in Scouting through the council each year.

The Scouting movement came to Dallas in 1910, the same year the BSA was created in the United States, and by 1913 several troops were already in existence.

[1] Since Wisdom's generous act, Circle Ten has acquired three more major camps: Constantin, James Ray, and Cherokee.

In 1996 Circle 10 moved into its new home, The John D. Murchison Service Center, named after the National BSA President and Dallas area businessman/philanthropist who died in 1979 during the first year of his term.

[2] The council is administratively organized into districts:[3] Central Service Area Northern Trail – Richardson, Lake Highlands Tejas Caddo – East Dallas West Park – Highland Park, University Park, West Dallas, Fair Park, Lindsey Park Duck Creek – Garland, Sachse, Rowlett East Trinity Trails – Wylie ISD, Rockwall County, Community ISD North Service Area Chisholm Trail – Plano Eagle Trail – Allen, Fairview, Lucas Iron Horse – Frisco, Prosper, Celina Lone Star – McKinney, Anna, Farmersville, Melissa, Princeton Eastern Lakes - Hunt, Rains, Hopkins, Delta, Red River, Titus, Camp, Morris, Franklin Counties Texoma Valley - Grayson & Bryan Counties Two Rivers – Fannin, Lamar, Pushmataha, Choctaw, McCurtain South Service Area Rising Sun – Mesquite, Sunnyvale, Balch Springs, Seagoville, Pleasant Grove & South East Dallas Post Oak - Kaufman, Van Zandt, Navarro, Henderson Counties (not including Forney ISD) Elm Fork – Carrollton, Southern Lewisville, East Coppell, Northwest Dallas, Irving, Addison, North Dallas Soaring Eagle – Duncanville, DeSoto, Lancaster, Cedar Hill, Wilmer, Hutchins, Oak Cliff Southern Star – Ellis County Western Horizon – Irving, Coppell, Grand Prairie Scout Reach Service Area Program Specialist Units STEM Scouts Circle Ten Council operates six year-round camping grounds and three summer camps.

Located on 385 acres (1.6 km2) on the shores of Possum Kingdom Lake near Graford, Texas and containing 15 campsites, Constantin acts as both a regular camp open to Boy Scouts from all areas and as Circle 10's largest and longest-running summer camp hosting roughly 2,800 Scouts during the 5 weeks it is open during the summer.

[4] James Ray Scout Reservation, formerly known as Camp Grayson (1930–1999), is located on the Texas side of Lake Texoma, near Pottsboro, occupying 540 acres (2.2 km2).

During the summer months, James Ray utilizes its 11 campsites and is in operation for 4 weeks for Webelos resident camp.

Some dedicated Circle Ten volunteers repaired the electrical system, which was back in operation within 48 hours.

In addition to its 40 campsites, Wisdom also hosts leadership training for adults and youth owing, in part, to the easy access from the Dallas metropolitan area.

Camp Wisdom has an unfortunate reputation of being noisy at all times due to proximity to two highways: Interstate 20 and Texas Spur 408.

Named after former Texas Governor Bill Clements, a lifelong supporter of the BSA, the ranch comprises 3,300 acres (13 km2) of towering pines and four well-stocked fishing lakes.

In June 2008, Camp Cherokee opened the Jim Tarr Dining Hall, a 14,000 sq ft (1,300 m2) air-conditioned facility that also features a state-of-the-art kitchen and a Scoutmaster's lounge.

Clements Scout Ranch is also very proud to host the "Governor's Trail", which has recently been renovated with a service grant from the National Order of the Arrow lodge.

On April 26 Hotchkiss, himself a distinguished Arrowman, mailed a letter to the National OA Secretary about starting a Lodge.

The Lodge lacked the traditional "patch flap" until 1950 when it was designed by Bill Jordan in preparation for a trip to a National meeting.

The lodge also sends delegates to the annual Southern Region Section 2 Conclave and regularly sends at least 100 delegates to National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) The lodge is administratively divided into chapters matching each district:[9] Southwestern Service Area 1.
