The '''Great Southwest Council''' was a council that was headquartered in [[Albuquerque, New Mexico]], which provided [[Scouting]] to youth in northern New Mexico, northeast Arizona, Utah south of the [[San Juan River (Colorado River tributary)|San Juan River]], and the [[Durango]] and [[Mesa Verde]] areas of [[Colorado]]. The council was merged with the Yucca council in 2024, to form the High Desert Council.
