Region Chairman, Barry Hantman

The Northeast Region encompasses Washington, D.C., Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.

The region’s programs start with our religious emblems – Aryeh, Maccabee, Aleph, Ner Tamid and Etz Chaim. The region sponsors services at Scouting events, encourages attendance at summer camp, and also promotes Scout Shabbats. They also hold an annual Kinnus or Conclave, Lag B’Omer programs, and dreidel spins.

The region delivers quality year-long programming and sponsors Jamboree programming as well as recognizes Eagle Scouts. The mission of the regions is to encourage charter partnering of  units through synagogues, temples and other Jewish institutions. They also offer scholarships for deserving Eagle Scouts.

The Northeast Region also recognizes deserving individuals for their work with Jewish Committees on Scouting through nominations for their Chai Awards (Bronze, Gold and Silver levels). Click here to download the nomination form.
