That is true--there are several 4-H teams and at least one Girl Scout team in FRC alone. I'm not sure how many other organizations sponsor a team, or how many teams aren't school-affiliated in FTC and FLL (and VRC).

Though it's actually three students and one adult. How else are you supposed to have a drive team? (Yes, the other two aren't required. They are, however, highly recommended.)
