They serve over 22,000 Scouts and 12,000 leaders in eastern [[Idaho]], western [[Wyoming]], and southwestern [[Montana]].

Within a few years, the program shifted to the Salmon River, operating out of the Spring Creek area. In 1986, the council acquired a permanent property for the base at Hale Gulch, approximately 13 miles downriver from North Fork, Idaho. This base, also known as SRHAB, is open in June and July, with 2.5 day sessions starting every Monday and Thursday. The primary program consists of rafting and whitewater kayaks. Secondary programs include low COPE, archery, climbing and rappelling, and frisbee gold. The base will celebrate two anniversaries in 2015, being the 30th anniversary of the current location and the 50th anniversary of the overall program.{{cn|date=March 2018}} =====Krupp Scout Hollow===== This former {{convert|40|acre|m2|adj=on}} farm and orchard was acquired in the 1980s for the purpose of Cub Scout activities.
