I became involved in Scouting as a Dad some 24 years ago. I've now got three Eagle Scout sons and a countless number of testimonials of how the Scouting America program changes lives and trains our leaders of tomorrow. I have spent the past 5 years as board president of the Texas Southwest Council. Not always fun but never did i question why I was doing it. We are changing lives and building our leaders of tomorrow, one youth at a time. I respectfully ask you for your support.

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
