Brooklyn Outdoor Service Guides

Brooklyn Outdoor Service Guides We focus on two missions: teaching a love of the outdoors through skills and experience, and serving our Brooklyn community. We’ll see you on the trail!

Brooklyn Scouts, part of Outdoor Service Guides (formerly BPSA), was developed to welcome everyone that has not been previously included in Scouting and the outdoors. Outdoor Service Guides, formerly the Baden-Powell Service Association (BPSA) was formed in the US in 2006 as an independent and traditional style Scouting Association. We welcome those who have been previously underserved by Scouting

, including female and non-binary Scouts and BIPOC Scouts. We seek to ensure that everyone has fair and equal access to the outdoors, no matter their cultural or economic background. Outdoor Service Guides is totally independent of, and not affiliated with, either The Boy Scouts of America or the Girls Scouts of the USA. We are members of the World Federation of Independent Scouts and as such are not in competition with other American Scouting Associations. OSG and Brooklyn Scouts offers a choice for those with curiosity, energy and independence of spirit. We are committed to providing an appropriate alternative and community-oriented Scouting experience. We foster the development of Scouts in an environment of mutual respect, social justice, and cooperation.

We are hosting a Juneteenth day of service in our warehouse on 6/19 for Students with chaperones or families. There will be two sessions available: morning 10-12pm and afternoon 1-3pm. ⁠
⁠
Juneteenth is more than an observance of freedom. It’s also a time to share the experiences of those who fought—literally and figuratively—to seek true freedom for future generations. This is a great opportunity to give back on Juneteenth.⁠

DM us if you are interested in volunteering! ⁠

"Nothing brings us more joy than seeing new leaders step up and take on the challenge of "Guiding" our Scouts towards a brighter future! Our recent BTC training session at Fahnestock State Park was a huge success, and we couldn't be prouder of the commitment and enthusiasm shown by these amazing individuals. With their dedication and passion, we know that the future of scouting is in great hands. Here's to the next generation of leaders!
