Help Secure Scouting's Future

The East Texas Area Council has begun a new Endowment initiative to help secure the future of Scouting in East Texas.   The James E.

In addition, there will be a distinctive lapel pin and an embroidered square knot and 2 limited edition Council Shoulder Patches.   For more information, please contact Development Director, Travis Rubelee at 903-597-7201.  Please visit the following page for more information.
