Thanks for visiting! We are a chartered scout group of Outdoor Service Guides (formerly the Baden-Powell Service Association) located in southern Chester County, Pennsylvania.

OSG’s mission is to support scouting and guiding in an environment of mutual respect and cooperation by celebrating diversity in all its forms; creating a positive learning environment within the context of democratic participation and social justice, to share the practices, values, and traditions of the Scout Law; and promoting Scouting for Everybody locally, nationally, and globally.

OSG is not affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the USA or any other WOSM organization. We are an independent and traditional Scouting association and part of the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS).
