Thank you for your interest in the 23rd Oaklanders! We are currently on hiatus.
The 23rd Oaklanders are part of the Baden-Powell Service Association, a co-ed and inclusive organization that welcomes scouts and scout leaders of all religious beliefs, gender, and sexual orientation. Our program is wilderness-focused and based on the principles and practices of scouting laid down by Robert Baden-Powell in 1907, developed and refined in scout associations around the world for over a century.
The BPSA is totally independent of, and not affiliated with, either Scouts USA (formerly Boy Scouts of America) or the Girls Scouts of the USA. We are members of the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS). Our group activities are organized around camping, hiking, building wilderness skills, and performing community service. Our scouts earn badges and share in leadership opportunities as they progress in the program.
