Do you want to sell popcorn to support Scouting in central Texas?  Me neither. 

Instead, please donate to the Friends of Scouting campaign--100% of your donation supports local programs. This short video (< 3 minutes) describes how Friends of Scouting fits into the Capitol Area Council budget. 

Our April 23-25 campout is on!  We are using the Smilin V campsites at 50% capacity, and we will divide into camp groups of 10-15 people since we are in Stage 3.  Sign up early! Space available, we can expand the reservation if there is high demand.  We have to submit signed Covid risk acknowledgement forms in advance, so registration closes a week in advance.

With the soggy weather, and chance of a thunderstorm at 4am, I recommend skipping the tent suffering and making tonight a “campfire” evening.

So, join us at 7pm for a campfire show.  We’ll take turns passing the zoom screen so scouts can offer a joke (or a skit with family members).  You can also send a pre-recorded video to me by 4pm and I’ll get it ready to show at the 7pm campfire.

Check out the Pinewood Derby video, which includes a preview of each car, racer interviews, and the results.   It's only 40 minutes long.

It is is race time!  Car check-in is Saturday (12/5) 10am-2pm in front of the youth center.  Note that cars must be submitted by 2pm. They will be safely stored until race time, which is 3pm Sunday.

Backyard Campout: Sat 11/14. The key, i.e. only, activity is sharing jokes via Zoom at 7pm. We'll call this "campfire".
