New to Scouting? Here’s how it fits together
Your child joins a local group that meets nearby. That group belongs to a district, and every district is part of the Narragansett Council.
- Council
- The regional organization that runs camps like Camp Yawgoog, offers training and supports more than 200 local units.
- District
- A smaller area of the Council. Districts organize local events and connect families with units near them.
- Unit
- The group your child actually joins. A Pack is for Cub Scouts (kindergarten–5th grade), a Troop is for Scouts BSA (ages 11–17), and Crews and Ships serve older youth.
Who you’ll meet in your district

Our five districts
