Scouting is not just in the Rio Grande Valley, It is all over the world. As the whole world faces the challenges from the pandemic, scouting is still doing good deeds, teaching youth new skills, and sharing the values we hold as scouts. I hope you will help educate the adults in our council that the scope of scouting goes far beyond our borders.
Thank you for your efforts within the council.
