As you may be aware, Governor Greg Abbott announced that, beginning next Wednesday, March 10, the statewide mask mandate would be lifted, encouraging all Texans to take personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others.

Circle Ten Council is committed to the safety of its members, so at this time we have not made any changes to our current COVID-19 safety protocols. We ask that you remain vigilant to ensure the safety of all who participate. If updates are made to our safety procedures, we will share them broadly.

Thank you for all you do for Scouting!

We will depart Friday, March 26 from scout hut at 6:30. Meet at 6:00pm. Eat beforehand or bring sack dinner.

Scouts will have opportunity to work on First Aid, Rifle, Shotgun and Fishing MB. They will need to sign up for each MB they want to work on so they can be put on the schedule for those MBs.

Parents will be responsible for transporting their scouts to and from the campout or make arrangments prior to departure. (Approximately 2.5 hours - near Meridian, TX.)

Bring $10 for grubmaster fees to the meeting on March 22nd where the scouts will prepare for the campout.

Complete the health screener prior to departure.

Join us for some beautiful hiking in the Ozark Mountains!

Scouts 14 and older have the option to backpack the 15-mile loop in the park. Great preparation and "shakeout" for Philmont.

Scouts younger than 14 will have the chance to take several day hikes ranging from 0.5 to 5 miles around the park.

This is a great chance to learn and improve your backpacking skills.
