Scouting for everybody. Meet the 150th Willamette Outdoor Service Guides!
The 150th Willamette is a member group of the Outdoor Service Guides (OSG) serving the mid-Willamette Valley area.
We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization with a mission to support scouting and guiding in an environment of mutual respect and cooperation by creating a positive learning environment, celebrating diversity in all its forms, and promoting scouting for everyone. We welcome everybody to scout with us, regardless of age, race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, economic circumstances, neurodiversity, religion (or non-religion), or other differentiating factors.
The 150th Willamette offers scouting experiences for children and adults, divided into sections by age group. Each section has a specific program designed to offer age-appropriate challenges and experiences to help foster a lifelong love of the outdoors, community service, and teamwork.
The 150th Willamette is a registered member of Outdoor Service Guides (OSG) and the Metro Service Council (MSC).
Outdoor Service Guides (OSG), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was formed in the U.S. in 2006 as an independent scouting association, Baden Powell Service Association, BPSA. The name was officially changed in 2021 to Outdoor Service Guides.
