SCOUTING
Program
Support for the Boy Scout movement came at The American Legion's first National Convention in 1919. Today, there are more than 2,500 Boy Scout units sponsored by Legion Posts throughout the country.
W.B. Williamson Post 1 is now the charter organization for Boy Scouts Troop 5. Troop 5 meets at First United Methodist Church in Lake Charles.
