The Official page of Scouting America Mayflower Council.

Here in Mayflower Council, that adventure of Scouting is being realized every week at the den, troop and crew meetings, outings, treks and camp programs. The Mayflower Council serves 61 cities and towns in Eastern Massachusetts and extends from Stow, MA, in the north to Plymouth, MA, in the South. This overall territory is divided into six distinct areas, known as Districts, to ensure resources are evenly distributed among the Council’s constituent communities. Within and just outside the Council’s borders are three excellent Council-owned camping properties: Camp Resolute in Bolton, MA, Camp Squanto in Plymouth, MA, and the Nobscot Scout Reservation on the border of Framingham and Sudbury, MA. Together, they constitute over 1,400 acres of beautiful forested land, open space, lakes, and streams, making each one a true "Urban Oasis."
