Scouting in Massachusetts includes both Girl Scout and Boy Scout organizations. Both were founded in the 1910s in Massachusetts. With a vigorous history, both organizations actively serve thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live.
By 1910, a scout like group, Boston City Guard, was founded by Frank O. Carpenter of the English High School. In June 1910, the American Boy Scouts started organizing the Department of New England which was operational in August or September under chief department scout General William H. Oakes and based in Boston.
The Cape Cod and the Islands Council serves Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket with the headquarters in Yarmouthport, Massachusetts. The Council owns two camps: Greenough Scout Reservation as well as Camp Richard. The Order of the Arrow lodge is Abake Mi-Sa-Na-Ki Lodge #393.
On March 28, 2017, Knox Trail Council and Old Colony Council voted to merge and create a new, combined council. The merger was executed on May 10, 2017; with the new council using the name 'Council 251' pending the selection of a new name. Council 251 is headquartered at the former Knox Trail Council office in Marlborough, Massachusetts and maintains the Canton, Massachusetts office of Old Colony Council as a satellite location.
Council 251 will maintain the three camps of the two predecessor councils; Nobscot Scout Reservation, E. Paul Robsham Scout Reservation and Camp Squanto.
Knox Trail Council serves 21 towns in the greater MetroWest area of Eastern Massachusetts; divided into the JP Becker, Cannon and Powder Keg districts.
