BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

TEXAS SOUTHWEST COUNCIL

My fellow Scouters,

Some of you might not have met me yet, I am Donnie Lunsford, Vice President of Mission Impact for the Texas Southwest Council Executive Committee and Board of Directors. I help oversee the Membership, Properties and Program Committees. I am also a Cubmaster and Troop Committee Chairman. Scouting is one of my passions that helped me find my interests through being an Eagle Scout, OA Lodge Chief and summer camp staff member in this council as a youth which led me to my career in the Natural Resources Management and Conservation Career with the USDA.

As we struggle navigating the pandemic and today’s world, scouting is still alive and well teaching our youth how  to be Prepared for Life. Scouting is still changing lives, teaching timeless values, and building character.

Scouting is a volunteer run organization which takes many hands to make the load lighter. Today, our Council is at its lowest membership numbers causing many events to be run by a handful of people and our Districts are the same way. To combat this, we are having a Mission Impact Committee meeting via Zoom to discuss a new way to  structure the way the council operates.

The new structure will help minimize workloads on individuals while maximizing our results. I would like to invite all registered leaders to attend as well as those that love scouting and would like to find a place somewhere      within the operations of the council.

The meeting will be held August 26, 2021, at 7pm. To join the Zoom Meeting click: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88507169695?pwd=SGNEK2ZMM0dsOFJKRG1xclBzQktZQT09  

Meeting ID: 885 0716 9695

Passcode: Scouts741

Please attend if you would like to see what is going on with the future of the Texas Southwest Council.

Yours in Scouting,

Donnie Lunsford

Vice President of Mission Impact
