  Everyone on our planet has a duty and an obligation to protect it.  Sometimes a little friendly reminder is in order as well.  We live in a disposable society where everything is single-use, broken then replaced instead of repaired, convenience trumps all... but at what cost?  Earth Day, founded in 1970, is a day where we have that annual reminder to encourage one another to support sustainability, environmental protection and do more In Troop 1910, Scouts learn to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle but do we know what that really means? Reduce -- use less. Buy reusable items so that your trash output is reduced. Reuse -- find ways to repurpose what you have or let others reuse them -- donating old clothes is a great way to reuse things that still have lots of life in them Recycle -- whenever possible, find ways to recycle everything you can.   Conservation is a big part of Scouting and what a better time to focus on that than on Earth Day!  Here are 5 Merit ...

 (repost) T he Longhorn Council, Boy Scouts of America, is conducting our annual drive called the Investment in Character campaign (previously "Friends of Scouting"). I think you will agree Scouting is truly an important part of what makes America great. The principles that Scouting teaches are as relevant today as they were when the Boy Scouts first began over 100 years ago. By investing in our youth through the Investment in Character Campaign, you can help direct young people into a program that stands for what is good and right in today’s world. The Investment in Character Campaign is designed to allow you to join hands with the Longhorn Council to help ensure a quality Scouting program is delivered to young people in the North and Central Texas area. Many thanks to Skipper, Christopher Mahanna, for the presentation at last week's Troop meeting to kick off our IC campaign.  We had many pledges made and hope to have that momentum continue in the weeks to come.  Please ...

The  Jacob Wright High Adventure Scholarship  opportunity deadline is April 17. Click the link above for the application and information about the Jacob Wright High Adventure Scholarships.  Huge thanks to David Hillebrand for coordinating this effort again this year. This is only for Scouts attending a High Adventure within the next year, i.e. Philmont, Northern Tier, Sea Base.  All such Scouts are highly encouraged to apply, as this is not contingent solely on financial need.  The Jacob Wright High Adventure Scholarship Memorial Fund was started in 2016 after the untimely loss of a courageous and adventurous boy named Jacob Wright. With a spirit no human body could contain and an affinity for the caped crusader like no other, the Wright family generously created the Jacob Wright Memorial Fund with the idea that no adventure should be left unexplored. We are so very honored to have the privilege of administering and awarding these scholarships to our Scouts in b...
