Anniversary
Week Marks
90th Birthday
Scouts and Scouters in the Concho
Valley Council will take part in Anniversary Week, February
6–12, highlighting the 90th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts
of America.
Tuesday, February 8, marks the official
anniversary celebration. It was on that date in 1910
that the BSA was formally organized in Washington, D.C.
In support of our national theme,
“ Strong Values, Strong Leaders – Character Counts,”
the theme for this year’s Anniversary Week, as well
as for the entire year, is “Celebrating 90 Years of
Strong Values and Leadership.”
A variety of special activities is
planned to mark the week’s observance. Special religious
observances will be held on Scout Sunday, February 6,
and on Scout Sabbath, February 12.
The purposes of Scouting have not
changed one bit over the years. We still strive to build
character, instill ideals of good citizenship, and foster
personal fitness in young people.
So mark your calendars now. Get ready
to take pride in our past and plan for an even brighter
future.

THE WOODBADGE
Woodbadge Advanced Adult Leader
Training was initiated by the founder of Scouting,
Robert S.S. Baden Powell as an intensive training experience for Boy Scout
Leaders. Upon completion of this training, Baden Powell presented to each
attendee a wooden bead from a necklace he had received during his campaign
against the Zulus in Africa. Today Woodbadge stands as the premier Boy
Scout Leader Training experience.
In the
fall of 2000 the Comanche Trail Council will host Woodbadge Course SR-379.
Course dates are August 26-27, September 8-10, and September 22-24. An
informational meeting will be held prior to the course. Costs for the course
will be $100.00-$120.00. Pre-registration is required by March 1, 2000.
Contact the Concho Valley Council Service Center for more information.

Chavez
Represents Texas Law Enforcement Explorers
Maria A. Chavez, the Patrol Explorer
in charge of Del Rio Border Patrol Post 920 was among
29 Explorers chosen Nationally to attend the National
Law Enforcement Explorer FBI Leadership Academy.
Chavez was the only Explorer representative
from Texas. Attendees at the Leadership Academy received
hands-on training from the FBI, Postal Inspection Service,
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF), U.S.
Customs, the Border Patrol, and the Drug Enforcement
Administration. She also met with Brig. General David
W. Foley, commanding general of the U.S. Army Criminal
Investigation Command. At the conclusion of the Academy
Chavez was presented with an award from Jim Kaminski,
the National Director of Law Enforcement Exploring.
Upon her return from the Academy,
Maria issued a personal invitation to the youth of the
Concho Valley to join exploring. "Experience the
adventure of being an Explorer— the leadership, character
and pride that will be developed, as well as the memories
and friendships that will be formed will last forever,”
she said.
