One of Scouting American’s programs is Scouts BSA, which is for youth ages 11 to 17 years of age (previously called the “Boy Scout” program). Any girl over the age of 11 can join our troop. You can also join our Troop if you have earned the Cub Scouting Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old or have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10.
Our troop is all-girl (Troop 461G) and not a co-ed troop. However, we do have an all-boy troop that is linked to us (Troop 461B). This is a great opportunity for families…and we encourage brothers to join the boys troop.
We are excited for the opportunities that are available to our girls, including local and national camp properties, professional and volunteer networks, and access to the world-famous BSA advancement system of skill and character development. Girls are now eligible to earn the rank of Eagle Scout – a highly-recognized award presented to young Americans of distinction.
Current and past youth and adult members of other organizations offering programming to girls, (such as 4-H and the Girl Scouts of the USA) are welcome to join us and participate in Troop 461, as there is no rule in Scouting or any of these organizations that would prevent anyone from belonging to more than one organization. Troop 461 does not duplicate what these separate organizations provide. We admire these other organizations and encourage continued participation in their activities.
