Hello Everyone!
It is THAT time of the year to begin planning our District Camporee.
The dates for the event are April 21-23 at Beautiful Camp James Ray in Pottsboro,TX.
We will host a total of 3 meetings prior to Roundtable 6:30 PM at Trinity Presbyterian Church (5871 Virginia Parkway McKinney 75071).
What we will need from your Unit:
Attendance at each meeting from your SiC (scout in charge)/SPL along with AiC (Adult in Charge)/Scoutmaster.
Showing up to the meeting is important to help with planning events for each group as well as theme, patch design and obstacle course contribution.
This event will be co-hosted with Western Horizon District, as Council has paired us up to combine resources.
We will offer a zoom link if needed, however this is an event run by the youth and in person participation is encouraged.
Dates for planning meetings:
February 2 6:15-7PM
March 2 6:15-7PM
April 6th 6:15-7PM
The leaders guide is in progress as we are hosting additional meetings along with WH District to get that completed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to myself or Rob Taylor (rob@taylorinet.com)

Lone Star District WOW is all about Scouts working with Webelos to teach Scout skills and the ideals of scouting. This is a great opportunity for Webelos to meet the Troops in the Lone Star District as they start to think about which Scout Troop to join. Troops, this is a great opportunity to show off your Scout skills and earn the admiration and respect of the Webelos. Again, this is an opportunity for Webelos to meet many of the Scouts from the different Troops in the Lone Star District. On Saturday, the Webelos will rotate from station to station throughout the day to learn exciting Scout skills from each Troop. We will start with an opening Ceremony and end with a Campfire Program. If your Webelos would like to participate in a flag ceremony or put on a fun skit during our Campfire program the Webelos and Scouts will have the opportunity to do so.
Who: All 1st and 2nd year Webelos AND adult partner (parent / guardian) OR at least 1 adult leader for every 5 Webelos with 2 deep leadership). Those who have Sunday obligations are encouraged to leave after camp fire on Saturday night.
Scout Troops, please e-mail wow@lonestardistrict.org with the Scout skill you would like to do. Troops can teach skills they think would be appropriate for Webelos scouts such as rope making, lashing competition, tent setup, Cast Iron Chef, rope throw rescue, geocaching, etc... Troops are encouraged to incorporate their activity to a Webelos Requirement like Outdoorsman, Readyman, Stroner Faster Higher, Camper, etc. Be Creative and be responsible with your ideas. We want the Webelos to have FUN; and of course we want everyone to have fun!
Webelos girls, if you would like to come to WOW with a female troop then troop 406-G would like to invite you to camp with them. Just sign up and email scoutmaster@simply-smiles.net and you are in.
Cost: Due to the pandemic food preparations are not allowed at the campsites by units. All meals will be at the dining hall and will be by professional staff in a social distancing setting. Thus the cost of camp is a little higher. Meals will be served Saturday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and a walking breakfast on Sunday. Eat before you come on Friday.
Fees for Everyone: $25
Provisions: Except for eating in the dining hall, this event should be treated as a weekend campout. Packs, Troops, Crews you will provide your own tents, camping gear etc… OA might have a concession stand for purchasing snacks so scouts may want to bring a few dollars.

Lone Star District WOW is all about Scouts working with Webelos to teach Scout skills and the ideals of scouting. This is a great opportunity for Webelos to meet the Troops in the Lone Star District as they start to think about which Scout Troop to join. Troops, this is a great opportunity to show off your Scout skills and earn the admiration and respect of the Webelos. Again, this is an opportunity for Webelos to meet many of the Scouts from the different Troops in the Lone Star District. On Saturday, the Webelos will rotate from station to station throughout the day to learn exciting Scout skills from each Troop. We will start with an opening Ceremony and end with a Campfire Program. If your Webelos would like to participate in a flag ceremony or put on a fun skit during our Campfire program the Webelos and Scouts will have the opportunity to do so.
Who: All 1st and 2nd year Webelos AND adult partner (parent / guardian) OR at least 1 adult leader for every 5 Webelos with 2 deep leadership). Those who have Sunday obligations are encouraged to leave after camp fire on Saturday night.
Scout Troops, please e-mail wow@lonestardistrict.org with the Scout skill you would like to do. Troops can teach skills they think would be appropriate for Webelos scouts such as rope making, lashing competition, tent setup, Cast Iron Chef, rope throw rescue, geocaching, etc... Troops are encouraged to incorporate their activity to a Webelos Requirement like Outdoorsman, Readyman, Stroner Faster Higher, Camper, etc. Be Creative and be responsible with your ideas. We want the Webelos to have FUN; and of course we want everyone to have fun!
