Troop 1 Seekonk Prepares for Launch of Scouts BSA

Boy Scout leaders across the US are gearing up for February when the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) will welcome girls into its most iconic program.

Countless girls will join local troops next month thanks to the BSA’s historic decision to open the Boy Scout program, now called Scouts BSA, to both boys and girls age 11-17.

Scouts BSA is a year-round program for boys and girls in fifth grade through high school that provides fun, adventure, learning, challenge, and responsibility to help them become the best version of themselves.

In Scouts BSA, young men and women go places, test themselves, and have one-of-a-kind adventures that can’t be found anywhere else.
Each Scouts BSA troop will consist of girls or boys, but troops will not be co-ed. Boy troops and girl troops may occasionally attend special activities together, but each troop will meet and work toward achievements in a single-gender environment.

Troop 1 Seekonk sponsored by the American Legion Post 311, is one of the all-girl troops forming in the area. The Boy Scouts of Troop 1 have been an integral part of the Seekonk community for 90 years and they are excited to start a girls troop this winter.

Girls or boys (ages 11-17) and families who are interested in learning more about Scouts BSA are invited to stop by during any Troop 1 meeting or contact us with questions:
