Scouts of America is about teaching youths to become leaders. Boys and girls learn outdoor skills, first aid, cooking skills, and most importantly have fun.
Scouts of America, Troop 13 chartered at the Rod & Gun Club of New Bedford in North Dartmouth, MA continues to be one of the most successful Scouting programs in the area and is also the only Scouting unit in the state chartered at a gun club.
