Scouting in Mississippi 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.

In 1910, the unit was officially recognized by the local scout office in Vicksburg.

The Troop has been continuously chartered since 1910 and is as old as the incorporated Boy Scouts of America.

There are eight Boy Scouts of America (BSA) local councils that serve Mississippi.

The Andrew Jackson Council serves Scouts in the area surrounding the state capital.
