HISTORICAL
Connecticut has had its fair share of Boy Scout councils since 1910, with a total of forty. Today the youth of Connecticut are proudly served by five councils; four (Connecticut Yankee, Connecticut Rivers, Greenwich, and Housatonic) are located within the state of Connecticut. The fifth, Narragansett Council, serves the community of Pawcatuck, Connecticut, in addition to Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.
