Welcome to the Conquistador Council

For more than a century, Scouting has inspired generations of young people to lead with courage, serve their communities, and discover the adventure waiting beyond the everyday. Conquistador Council, Scouting America proudly continues that tradition across Southeastern New Mexico, helping youth grow through outdoor adventure, leadership, service, and lifelong friendships.

From camping beneath the stars and hiking rugged trails to learning teamwork, responsibility, and resilience, Scouts gain experiences that build confidence and character for life. Since the founding of Scouting in 1910, millions of young people have discovered purpose, leadership, and belonging through the program — and that spirit continues today throughout the seven counties served by Conquistador Council in and around Roswell.

Every campfire sparks a new memory. Every challenge builds a stronger leader. Every adventure opens the door to something bigger. Join Scouting America and become part of a tradition that changes lives for generations.
