Framingham's Troop 12 announced last week they would be establishing their first girls' troop.
Scouting America—formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America—began welcoming girls back in 2018.
For years, Framingham’s Troop 12 didn’t have enough scouts to create their own girls troop—until now. Both girls and boys troops will be operating alongside each other under the Troop 12 umbrella.
