I do not really remember a time I was not Scouting. From Scouting in my youth with my Mom, to Scouting with my children, and now Scouting with my grandchildren! With each generation, the lessons learned and skills built have helped build our family. Outdoor skills, character, values, servant leadership, and so much more! Our Scouting family has supported us through trying times and wonderous celebrations. And the whole time we have been able to enjoy doing it all together as a family! From learning what it means to give back to our community to enjoying time together hiking, outdoor cooking, and camping! We all know how to be prepared for anything! Our famliy Scouts in the part of the Texas Southwest Council known as the Concho Valley District. This area covers Coke, Concho, Crane, Crockett, Irion, Kimble, McCulloch, Menard, Pecos, Reagan, Runnels, Schleicher, Sutton, Terrell, Tom Green, and Upton counties. Please join me in helping families in these areas enjoy these same benefits.

The mission of the Texas Southwest Council, Scouting America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them values of the Scout Oath and Law. Scouting America's goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations
