Loose Applications

Do you have some loose applications you have collected over the past months from some of your scouts and adult leaders? If so, please bring them in to the Council office on Harry Hines Blvd as soon as possible. It is important that those applications are processed in a timely manner. It gets the ball rolling on getting these scouts their Boy's Life subscriptions, it gets them in the loop on Council mailings, and it covers them with BSA insurance. So if you have some loose applications please bring them in and get them processed as soon as possible.

If you have questions or need assistance please call
Norberto Diaz at 214-902-6742.

Western Star along with Circle 10 are now offering new courses
in rock climbing

Circle Ten has resources to offer Boy Scouts, Varsity members, and Venturers.
These provide youth with an opportunity to challenge them, grow, bond, and become better overall Scouts

And to get ready for that climbing experience, Circle 10 is offering both rock and tower climbing instructor courses
to prepare units (Troops, Crews, Ships, etc) to take advantage of this high adventure activity. The courses provide
the necessary skills to conduct Scout climbing activities and makes equipment available.
