Lone Star District

Roundtable / Program Preview, 7 pm May 1st

This month’s theme is our Program Preview for the 2025–2026 Scouting year – and we’re doing it game show style! Come ready to learn, laugh, and get the scoop on all the great things coming up in our District.

🎤 Larry will be your host
🎭 Mike has something funny planned
🥘 You should bring your BEST camp dish – whether it’s a main course, a savory side, a show-stopping dessert, or whatever your unit is proud of.
🏆 There WILL be prizes for the tastiest creations – and bragging rights are forever.

📚 We’re also collecting recipes for a future online Lone Star District Cookbook – so if you're bringing a dish, please consider submitting your recipe for inclusion!

📋 Before Roundtable officially begins, we’ll be holding a Camporee “Start, Stop, Continue” session to reflect on what went well and what we can improve. We’d love your input – come a little early and help us make next year’s Camporee even better!

It’s going to be a night full of fellowship, food, and future planning. We can’t wait to see you there!

Don't miss out on our final Roundtable before the summer break! Join us to discover the exciting activities and plans for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year being led by Lone Star District and Circle Ten Council. We'll cover everything from Training, Advancement, Membership, Activities, OA, and Camping. District leaders will be on hand to share all the information you need as your Unit begins individual annual planning.

Rotary Flag Fundraiser Opportunities 

The Rotary Flag Lease campaign is in full swing. We are ramping up to have almost 6000 flags across McKinney this year. Rotary clubs and Scouting units have  had a tremendous partnership over the years. We are currently looking to bring on MORE units this year to help with their fundraising efforts.

If you are a unit (troop, pack, etc) that could use help with fundraising and has the desire to commit to a flag route this year, we are looking for helpers. Currently I will need help with about 8-10 routes this year, if you know anyone interested?

One flag route typically averages about 65 flags to pass out and return a few days later. We do this 5 times a year. We contribute $3 per flag, per holiday for fundraising. So, a unit could wind up earning around $1,000 per year, per route, as a donation from us.

If you know anyone interested, please send them my way. Hoping to help some folks out this year. Thank you for your time, looking forward to seeing you soon.
