Second Annual District Awards Banquet
Please register for our Second Annual
District Awards Banquet on Saturday January,
30th at the San Marcos Baptist Academy.
Registration is only available on-line, however
you can pay at the door. We need everyone to
register now so we know how much food to
prepare. This is a great event to recognize all
of the great accomplishments in Sacred Springs
District in 2009.

Scouting Matters…
Boys
that are in Scouting for 5 years (even
non-consecutive years) have a high school graduation
rate of 91% vs. a rate of 65% for the
general population.
In
our 15-county Capitol Area Council, which serves approx.
21000 Scouts, about 1/3 are considered “at-risk”.
In
Bastrop, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties, 21% of
households are single mothers with children under age
18.
An African proverb says:
"It takes a village to raise a child."
Scouting can be the
village!

Council has:
