GARDEN STATE COUNCIL
Find Something for Everyone in Garden State Council Scouting!
Scouting is adventure, family, fun, character, leadership, and so much more.
In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right-now selves and grow into their very best future selves.
It’s fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today — and for life.
