2005
REPORT TO STATE
|
||||
|
Recently a contingent of Scouts from the Concho Valley Council traveled to the state capital in Austin to deliver the annual Report to State. Each Scout council in the state chose six delegates to represent them to this yearly event to celebrate the anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. The festivities began early Saturday morning with a breakfast for the delegates. Next comes the parade down Congress Avenue from the bridge at Town Lake all the way to the Capital building. Over five thousand Scouts and delegates from all across Texas participated in the parade. The delegates were then allowed entrance to the floor of the State House of Representatives. One delegate from each council then delivered a two-minute “state of the council” address to the Chief Justice of the State Court of Appeals. Concho Valley Council delegates for the 2005 were: from Troop 346, sponsored by Sacred Heart Catholic church in Uvalde; Steven Silva, Marcos Zamora, Jesse Sandoval, Carlos Zamora, Juan Martinez, Dillon Silva. Ian Luellen from Pack 22, sponsored by St. Mark’s Presbyterian church in San Angelo gave the address. Make sure and mark your calendars for next year so you don’t miss this opportunity to participate in this remarkable activity. For more information, contact the council service center. |
