'''Scouting in Texas''' has a long history, from the 1910s to the present day, serving thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live. [[Scouting]], also known as the Scout Movement, is a worldwide youth movement with the stated aim of supporting young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, so that they may play constructive roles in society.

The [[Scouting America]] (BSA) provides Scouting for boys and girls in all programs. Texas is home to the BSA national headquarters, in [[Irving, Texas]]. The Boy Scouts of America in Texas are organized into 20 local councils.

[[Girl Scouts of the USA]], organized into eight local councils, only serves girls.
