All scouts and leaders attending summer camp must meet at the American Legion parking lot at 7 am. Mr. Gant needs to double check forms and make sure we have everything we need before heading out.

• Eat a good breakfast

• Bring a sack lunch and a snack

• Wear your Class A uniform

• Bring swimming trunk and towel in a string bag or small backpack for swimming test as soon as we arrive at Bear Creek.

• If you bring a cell phone, notify Mr. Gant and be prepared to hand it over as soon as you arrive at Bear Creek. Cell phones may be used in the evening and only at the campsite.

Orlando Q. Zepeda, Marco A. Salinas, Victor M. Briseno, and Zachary W. Rodriguez attened the National Youth Leadership Training at Camp Karankawa. the scouts spent their spring break learning about goals, problem solving, conflict resolution, ethical decisions, and communication skills so scouts may be able to run a productive meeting. They also had an oppertunity to sharpen up their outdoor skills, learn new games, meet new scouts, and learn from the best youth leaders in the council. The scouts strongly recomend that all all scouts that are in leadership positions participate in the NYLT program.

Gilberto Sosa III, Nathaniel Gant, Giancarlo Bruschetta, Richard J. Reyes Jr., and Federico Solis III are currently working on their Eagle Project at Dick Kleberg Park. Their project consists of adding a new section to the playground, updating picnic areas, and upgrades to the parking lot.
