Highlighting the Benefits of Scouting in the State of Texas
Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturers, Sea Scouts, and Explorers from each council in Texas, including the Alamo Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, are seated in the House of Representatives and report to a member of the state government about Scouting accomplishments in their council from the past year.
What is Report to State?
Scout delegates from our council and across Texas will gather every February to update state leadership on the community service provided and accomplishments realized over the past year. There is no cost for any of these activities.
What does a typical Report to State look like?
There are two versions of the event:
A) The day starts with a breakfast for the delegates, and then Scouts head to the Capitol grounds for the Scout Spirit rally, the Report to State presentation in the Texas House of Representatives, and then take part in a Day of Service in the afternoon. Eagle Scouts of all ages are also invited to take part in the Eagle Scout re-commitment ceremony.
B) During years when the Legislature is in session, our delegation breakfast and program will be combined in one event in the Capitol annex.
A “Report to the State” is presented each year to highlight and share the benefits Scouting provides in the state of Texas. It provides an opportunity to build the Scouting brand and image as well as increase the awareness and visibility of Scouting’s service. Within our Alamo Area Council, the report to the state provides a source of pride and morale boost.
