Auction Donation Form
Funds raised from the annual Sam Houston Area Council BSA Sporting Clays Tournament go to support the Scouting program in the greater Houston Area. Scouting teaches self-reliance, strength of purpose and conviction of character. These are the values that have guided the Sam Houston Area Council over the years. While there are many youth organizations, including sports, service clubs, fitness and educational programs that help young people, Scouting goes above and beyond by providing activities that:
- Graduate from college (35% versus 19%) - Earn higher annual household incomes ($80,000 versus $61,000) - Have lifelong friendships (89% versus 74%) - Attend religious services (87% versus 77%) - Believe helping others should come before one’s own self-interest (92% versus 83%) - Over the past 16 years, this event has raised close to $2 million dollars to support the Scouting program in the Greater Houston area. - Graduate from high school (91% versus 87%)

The 24th Annual Sporting Clays Event is a shotgun shooting game in which clay pigeons are presented to the gunner in ways that mirror the flight pattern of game birds, or occasionally rabbits, in their natural habitats. Sporting clays is exciting and challenging. The shooting grounds are laid out in stations (also called stands) with each station representing one type of bird or a combination of game: a rabbit and a grouse.
Join us for the annual sporting clays tournament to support the Sam Houston Area Council, Boy Scouts of America's Scouting programs for at-risk youth. This year, the council will provide a quality Scouting program to the youth in our ScoutReach programs. Our programs are building stronger citizens by fostering close family relationships through parental involvement in Scouting. Based on demand, we have expanded to include 100 teams.
