The Sam Houston Area Council is dedicated to ensuring the Scouts in our council have the best possible experience. As we strive to enhance our camping and outdoor programs, we value your input on how we can make them even better. The Camping and Outdoor Program Committee invites all senior patrol leaders, assistant senior patrol leaders, and Scoutmasters (or their designees) from all troops in the council to join us for a focused discussion and pizza dinner at the Cockrell Scout Center.

This is your chance to directly influence our council's camps and programs by sharing your thoughts and suggestions. The council leadership is committed to continuous improvement, and your voice is essential. As a token of our appreciation, we will also hold drawings for door prizes in addition to enjoying pizza together. We kindly ask that each troop respond and inform us of your availability for this interactive focus group session.
