Rio Grande Council
Scouting Is Adventure, Family, Fun, Character, Leadership and So Much More!
The Rio Grande Council has proudly served the Rio Grande Valley since 1912. Our council delivers the promise of Scouting to youth in five local counties: Cameron, Hidalgo, Willacy, Starr, and Zapata. Our activity programs teach young people to “be prepared!” for adventure, education, service, citizenship, and leadership.
Scouting America promotes a culture where each youth, volunteer, and employee feels a sense of belonging and builds communities where every person feels respected and valued. Leading by example and encouraging each other to live by the values expressed by the Scout Oath and Scout Law, we welcome families of all backgrounds to help prepare young people to serve as successful members and leaders of our nation’s increasingly diverse communities.
Upcoming Activities

Commissioner's Corner
A Unit Commissioner is a volunteer Scouter who works directly with Scout units and their leaders to help them provide the highest quality Scouting program possible. This is achieved through mentoring, guidance, and plain old scouting experience. If you are interested in taking on a supporting role in the name of scouting please click the button below.

Help lead a Scout unit, donate your skills to Camp Perry and Laguna Station, pass down your knowledge as a Merit Badge Counselor, or just share your interests and we’ll find an opportunity that works for you. There is plenty of opportunity for adults in the local scouting community!
