When do you meet?

How old are your members?

The BPSA has 4 scout subsections: Otters (5-7), Timberwolves (8-10), Pathfinders (11-17) and Rovers (18+). The 64th Brandywine has an active Otter section, kids from 5-7 years old (Kindergarten through second grade), and a new Timberwolf section (ages 8-10, or grades 3-5). For the school year 2018-2019, we are starting a NEW Pathfinders section! We also welcome adult Rover volunteers to take leadership roles.

What about the uniform?

BPSA uniforms are designed to be simple, practical, and inexpensive. Each BPSA group has a unique necker design; members purchase the necker at registration. Scouts can purchase other uniform items online from the BPSA-US Quartermaster Store or find them elsewhere. Follow the links in the menu above to your section (Otter, Timberwolf, Pathfinder, or Rover) to find the details. The Uniform Guide Quick Reference provides information on patch placement.

How are you different than the Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts?

The 64th Brandywine Scouts are committed to providing an appropriate alternative and community-oriented scouting experience. BPSA welcomes everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion (or no-religion) or other differentiating factors. We are an independent and traditional scouting association and part of the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS).
