Rio Grande Council
Welcome to the

Proudly serving the Rio Grande Valley since 1912. Our council delivers the promise of Scouting to youth in five local counties which include: Cameron, Hidalgo, Willacy, Starr and Zapata. Our activity programs teach young people to “be prepared!” for adventure, education, service, citizenship and leadership.
