The South Texas Council is the premier youth leadership development program in South Texas. Scouting has impacted the lives of thousands of youths since its founding in 1910. The impact Scouting makes on young people can be seen in the thousands of service hours performed annually including Eagle Scout projects that benefit community organizations. Since its founding in 1910 South Texas Scouting alumni have included community leaders, judges, business leaders, military leaders, educators, and medical professionals including Dr. McIver Furman, who was instrumental in the founding of Driscoll Children's Hospital. Today Scouting in South Texas impacts over 1,800 youth across South Texas.
